Acquisition!

It is with mingled pride and shame that I announce that this blog has been acquired by the evil munificent FanapCo. Note that I held out for a long time, and was in fact the last in a long string of takeovers. The offer was simply too good to refuse.

Longtime readers should notice no change in content, despite FanapCo's edict (see comments) that I shall blog nothing but the glories of FanapCo and Tex-Mex cuisine.

As noted above, in defiance, here's one for all the code geeks out there: Darwinian poetry. Huh? Well, it's "a program that allows a poem to evolve, to see if people with diverse tastes in poetry can work together to create attractive verse." Start out with 30,000 words and fit them into a four-line stanza, each containing five words.

Those of us who are coffee-drinkers will be pleased to hear that three cups a day appears to reduce the incidence of liver cirrhosis, according to a Norwegian study of some 51,306 people.
