I have to get this off my chest. Don’t let anyone ever trick you into believing that store brand english muffins are as good as their name brand counterpart.

A few weeks ago I was at the grocery store, and saw this amazing deal. Buy one Thomas’ English Muffins, get 2 free!

So I bought them… and some eggs.

I then went on a breakfast sandwich kick for 3 weeks. It was probably the greatest few weeks of my life. I laughed, I sang, I got a lot of protein.

But then one day the english muffins ran out. Things got a little stale in my food cabinet.

I went back to the grocery store looking for more english muffins and I saw another deal! Buy one get one free

But this time… it was store brand. I thought, how bad could this be? Let me tell you some thing dear blog readers.

It is bad.

Real bad. 

They taste like bread that’s just pretending to be an english muffin. When I bit into that egg sandwich, we both knew, the egg and I,  that this is was no english muffin.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Internet. Do not under any circumstances, trust the marketing ruse of the store brand english muffin.

I’ll have to let the “muffins” off easy.

Maybe a donation to a hungy roommate, or a mutation into a french toast of sadness.

Park your bike so it doesn’t take up 1/2 the bike rack

Sir, Done and Done

You Rock

With the weather getting better, I have seen new bikes popping up at the bike rack in the office building where I work. One day, one such bikes was locked up horizontally, blocking the bike rack so that no one could park there. Upon seeing this note on your bike after a long day of work it would be easy to be angry, frustrated, violent, or profane. Someone decided to be nice. Problem solved. Who said bikers were inconsiderate?

It’s been a busy winter this year. Mostly filled with snowboarding. I think I set a new personal best by riding every weekend since New Years until last week. The snow hasn’t been great, but trips to Jay are fun regardless of weather. Recently I’ve had a full plate between building myself a digital portfolio of my work and rebuilding the Northeasern Cycling Team website. I’ll post links to both once they’re finished. I’m currently in the home stretch.

I’m also working on a concept to submit for the Mozilla Labs current design challenge. The challenge is to redesign a transcription tool for streaming Internet video in order to make it intuitive and easy to use.

For now:

Listen to: Groundation to get ready for warm weather.

Eat: Cholula with everything. It’s my new obsession.
