The Sushi Saga Continues….

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

I went out to eat sushi last night with Dafi  and Dagan of myportoalegre.blogspot.com  They write a blog which has come in very handy in getting settled and organized in Porto Alegre.

So the sushi…

We went to Sushi by Cleber, which is a really good sushi restaurant, in the rodizio style.  There is a buffet and they also come from table to table with hot dishes.  They had desert sushi! Something that, while not exactly traditional, was very nice.   The sushi was very good, I think that the salmon, which apparently comes from Chile (ed:hint hint (Chile also has incredible waves)),  was really great.  I’m sure Susi and I will be back.

The Impossible Boat Ride.

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

For the third time we have gone down to the docks to try and catch the boat tour.  And for the third time, our plan has been foiled.  I wanted to go train, and watch a BJJ tournament here. (Still not competing until the leg stops hurting entirely.)  We didn’t want to wait around so we went to the Bienal.  An art exhibit in a bunch of warehouses along the waterfront.

Roger B. and I have been talking about Google Univerisity for a while. Luke just sent me this great link of free online courses. It is good to find such a great resource. Now if you could only get a free diploma…

Google Maps for Walking Directions

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

For such a green company, it would be great if Google would enable walking directions.  It would be very easy, too.  Just allow all the street so be two-way and don’t use highways.  I could probably code that.  But Google should be less car-centric.
