With Ryan in town on Friday (post CTIA), it means I get to go out to eat. Luckily, I was tipped off by Josh at HandleYourBusiness.com to SFGate’s Top 100 Restaurants. Once I honed in on the San Francisco choices (it covers the whole Bay Area), I’m left with 61 top eateries to choose from. I can then sort by noise level, rating, price, and what kind of food they specialize in. Considering my fridge is completely empty*, having a nice meal is going to be a welcome change. I don’t know where I’ve been eating, but I haven’t been to one place on this list!

*except for hot sauces

Some like it hot

Some chillis are fierce enough to make your eyes water. Anyone foolhardy enough to eat a whole Dorset Naga would almost certainly require hospital treatment.

I like spicy food. I like spicy food so much that I suffer from severe heartburn and stomach issues. Therefore, I obviously need to try this pepper at some point in my life. Ryan sent me this link to an article about the Dorset Naga chili, also known as the hottest pepper in the world. In fact, it?s TWICE as hot as the once reigning champion, the Red Savina. Yum!

Rain

It’s never, ever, ever going to stop raining, is it?

In case you don’t live in SF, you should know that it has rained almost the entire month of March. 25 out of 31 days. And then it has rained all day today, too. It’s very depressing.

UPDATE: It was supposed to not rain today. It is.

Even MORE web junk

I can’t stop joining things. In the past two days alone, I’ve joined three more “Web 2.0″ sites/services. Oh, and I became a paying member of another one. Why is this a compulsion? Here, in list form, are some of the sites I’ve joined recently, and WHY.

  1. Dodgeball – Seems like a great idea in theory. Check in via text message (my preferred mode of communication, after IM) and it tells the people on your friends list where you AT. Next obstacle? Getting your friends to sign up.
  2. coComment – I think this involves tracking comments you make on other people’s blogs. Why you would want to reference that later, I’m not sure.
  3. Box.net – I’ve known about this for a while, but I had .mac up until recently. This seems like a decent replacement, except for the fact that it tends to freeze on me. I’m not entirely sure how it does this considering the fancy Ajax-ness, but it does.
  4. Last.fm (paid subscription) – Breakthrough, people. I never pay for anything. However, the lure of the “neighbor radio” was strong with this one, and I shelled out my $9 for three months. Apparently now I’m also considered some kind of VIP as far as bandwidth on Last.fm goes (that means in times of heavy traffic, paid users get priority treatment for streams).

So, that was my exciting week on the Internets. Nothing new, except for the weird coComment thing (which I can almost assure you I will never, ever use).

In real life news, I was talent for my very first CNET video today! I didn’t have to shoot or edit… just talk. I liked it, although it was a little bizarre to be sitting on the wrong side of the lens. It was an Insider Secret for “How to make your PC look like a Mac.” OK, stop laughing at me now. The video hasn’t been finished yet, so it’ll probably be up by the end of next week. ACK! I’m so nervous.

Exhausted, sleep time.
