Hello everyone. I’m Ron and I am a Chocoholic.

I have that line ready if there were a Chocoholics Anonymous. You guys may not realize, but chocolates are addictive. Although I hate to relate chocolates to addictive vices, the effects are already manifesting in my system… Must have more 99% cocoa chocolate from Switzerland again. Yes! The almost pure chocolate comes in the form of the Lindt Exellence Chocolate which is only available exclusively in Lindt’s stores . *drools* Ugh… Withdrawal symptoms…

Fine Chocolates – a quick guide to eating the suckers

You don’t eat fine chocolate like you eat an ordinary Snickers bar! No! Fine chocolate, like fine wine, deserves to be eaten with the same pompous sniff and sip but with more steps! Lindt’s site gives a quick (and slightly amusing) tutorial on how to “eat” fine chocolate.

A quick fine chocolate eating guide

Lindt Chocolate - Look

Look at it with one eye closed. LOL! You’re checking for all the visible attributes. The less imperfections the better!

Lindt Chocolate - Touch

Touch the chocolate and do your own analysis of it’s texture!

Lindt Chocolate - Listen

Listen to it crack! Seriously! High Quality unfilled chocolate gives off a distinct cracking sound!

Lindt Chocolate - Smell

Now this close to eating the actual bar! Fill your nostrils with the aroma and try to pick up the flavors associated with the chocolate.

Lindt Chocolate - Taste

More like it! The nipple hardening moment that sends the aroma, flavor, and huge doses of caffeine shooting up your nerves and into your brain! Savor it!

Meh, a WP tester for WP 2.7!

I just signed up for as a tester for the nightly build for the upcoming Wordpress 2.7 beta and downloaded, you guessed it, a nightly build! Doh! I quickly set up a local instance of Wp 2.7 and after the 5 minute install, I was quickly disoriented by the new admin interface! I haven’t explored it that much, but from my initial survey of the UI, the icon options could benefit from a text label! I don’t want to guess what the buttons mean! No picture, It didn’t happen. Right. Unfortunately I registered with my company email so the build email is currently stuck in my mailbox. Next post probably. Hehe
