Allow me to take a detour from my usual ramblings for something most everyone likes: chocolate. But this isn't just any chocolate, my friends. This is 99% pure cocoa. Compare this to most chocolate you likely experience, which can hardly be called chocolate, given that it's mostly sugar.
I have yet to find this elusive 99% cocoa bar from Lindt or anyother supplier. However, if it's anything like the 85% stuff, I will bein for a real treat.
The 88% stuff I had--not from Lindt, but from someplace else--knocked my socks off. It's also something the rest of the family doesn't like, so when I do find it, I get to eat it all.
Keacher.com has a blog post detailing a "taste test experience"with the 85% and 99% bars from Lindt. Clearly there's a differencehere--a difference that you must savor. Slowly. Deliberately. It's theonly way to truly enjoy your chocolate.

Got a repair guy here to fix my pinball machine. He's plugging away at the busted piece of circuitry.

Regular readers of phoneboy.com know that I also write for two of Creative Weblogging's blogs: The Gadgets Weblog and The VoIP Weblog. One of my annoyances with those blogs was that their RSS feeds were not full feeds. My participation on Vox has went way down since they switched away from full feeds. I've also stopped reading sites that didn't have full RSS feeds for specifically that reason.
A day or so ago, one of my fellow CW bloggers noticed that the RSSfeeds for CW blogs had switched to full feeds. It turned out to be amistake, but given the positive reaction from the editors, they aregoing with it for the time being.
If you haven't checked out my work on The Gadgets Weblog or The VoIPWeblog because of the lack of full RSS feeds, give it a look and let meknow what you think!

As I've written before, I am very happy to no longer be in the housing market.This article on Northwest Cable News describes the housing market in Seattle proper, but it is indicative of the housing market in the region. It's not pretty--if you're a seller anyway.
