It was really just too obvious.

Now THAT is a peanut butter cup, originally uploaded by ahknight.

The best part? The peanut butter inside was more like a real peanut puree rather than that gritty stuff in the tiny ones.

It took four hours to get it down. Brings a new meaning to “afternoon snack” this one.

Check out the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for more crazyness (like the chocolate-covered gummy bears or chocolate-covered marshmallows, neither of which I was not brave enough for).

The iPhone 2.1 update also appears to have updated Core Location to track speed and direction…

<+30.43312668, -97.76630400> +/- 47.42m (speed 12.59 kph / course 176.00) @ 2008-10-09 14:16:35 -0500

Problem: the iPhone above is stationary. I suspect it’s a consequence of GPS getting a better fix on the location as time goes by. Kind of neat, though. Gotta wonder what apps will come from that…

Or, rather, what I can do with that.

I’ve discovered that I don’t mind watching shows on the iPhone and have run into a lot of times where it would have been real nice to have some things to watch. So I hit iTunes and found as many cool things as I could that I could sync up and keep handy. It turns out that there’s a lot of really good stuff out there now.

Shhhhh…, originally uploaded by ahknight.

I never understood what people meant by “you’ll be tired, but you’ll feel fine.” Somehow, I get it now. I’ve never been so happy to run on empty.

But when he’s down, I’ll smack you down if you make a noise. Daddy needs sleep, too.

Combine this oldie, but goodie, with the overtly racist behavior of the attendees at the Palin events and you see who the real Republican “base” is (one attendee told a black security guard, “sit down, boy!” as another responded “kill him!” when Palin mentioned Obama’s name).

And they show no signs of stopping, either. They’re just ramping up the hate machine and aiming it at Obama. They think this isn’t an election of issues but an election of fear, just like they made ’04 into.

It’s remarkably disgusting. Thank God it’s backfiring.
