Sapporo night at Wasabi Sushi Atlanta

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Benjamin Krause, owner of the fine Wasabi Sushi establishment in Castleberry Hills has texted me to indicate that it is Sapporo night. Now, whether this is an actual function that includes Sapporo sponsored promotions, or if it’s just Ben handing out Saporro, it could be a good night.

Hey maybe they’ll air the special edition (and only edition) of WasabiTV — a DVD Ben and I made of clips we found on the Internet(s) including a fake sushi-documentary, anime, japanese porn, godzilla clips, kung-fu, and magical t-shirt folding.  Oh yes.

UFC and Wii

Last night we watched the Ultimate Fighting Championship at Mark’s place. It was noted that the downfall of the Roman civilization began with the glorification of brutal sporting events. What a great fight. Made only more visceral by the HD broadcast on Mark’s big flatscreen. Add to that Rayman on the Wii and you got yourself a great evening.

Back from the Ranch

The Big Nerd Ranch Ruby on Rails Bootcamp was a smashing success. I’m happy to be back home with the wifey and doggy. The course was intense — chock full of knowledge, eager students, and real-word best practices.

Yes, some of us stayed up late nights (until 2:00am one night) hacking, developing, and architecting Rails applications.

If you are looking to get up to speed quickly on the Ruby on Rails framework, the Big Nerd Ranch course is definitely the way to go.

OK, shameless plug over, but really, check out Steven G. Harm’s blogging on the event.  I love his writing style and blog.  Great stuff!
