Go to 7-Eleven and get some coffee, enjoy the beverage and admire the cup. Not only does 7-Eleven have consistently good coffee at a reasonable price they have now pushed the state of the art in disposable coffee cups way, way ahead of anyone else. If I tried to explain all the wonders of this cup you would write me off as a crank. You’ll just have to go experience it yourself.
Disclaimer: I have had a lot of free coffee from 7-Eleven in my day, but this endorsement is wholly voluntary.

Spear and Slash and Toler and Momma Fox and a bunch of other folks got ceremonially promoted today. A few pictures are available.
Mike promoted to Detective even though he was number one on the Corporal’s list. I guess he’s the first guy to be eligible under two lists. I say “I guess” but I’m really pretty certain of that. Anyway I’m glad he chose to go the Detective route, because we work in the same building and I get to see him. Or rather I would get to see him if he ever showed up for work.

Insider trading tip: Armor Holdings is about to go through the roof. Strong Buy on AH this week because Paul Ford is the new Director of Marketing for Def-Tec/Fed Labs. Congratulations to AH (NYSE) and PF.

Happy birthday Nugget. I guess his birthday is really the 4th of November, but he starts according to UTC. He claims to be 0x21 today (tomorrow), but that may be zero indexed.
