Another awards show took place today but nobody is paying any attention to that. All of Hollywoods elite can be found at the King Plaza Buffet in Jersey City for the 80th annual Things Jaldhar Discovered Last Year That Every Else Knew About Already Awards. (Known in the industry as "the Golden Sombreros") Here is a list of the winners.

Game: Hungry Hungry Hippos This game is awesome! But don't play with three year olds. They cheat.

Book: Discworld series by Terry Prachett When The Color Of Magic came out in 1983, I dismissed it as merely "The Hichhikers Guide to Mordor" but last year I read it again and this time it grew on me. Since then I've been steadily reading the whole series since June at an average of one a week.

Music: Rammstein Smell the umlauts! I have no idea what they are actually going on about but this is what Metal is supposed to sound like.

Mental Condition: Oedipus Complex All of sudden last October or so, my son started screaming and crying whenever I got anywhere near my wife and he would cling to her like the proverbial limpet. Then three months later, just as suddenly, he stopped. Very strange, not to mention creepy.

Linux command: grep --color=auto Everyone knows GNU ls can be colorized but did you know the same is true of GNU grep? I didn't. Why wasn't I informed of this earlier?

L. Ron Hubbard Lifetime Achievement Award: Coke Zero I used to drink way more Coke than was good for me so I decided to give it up. Diet sodas don't taste very good so I was resigned to not drinking soda at all. Luckily for me Coke Zero has no calories or sodium but does have caffeine and a taste like actual Coca-Cola. Perfect!
