      <title>Boston's Formal Halloween</title>
      <description>&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;Though certainly not in the same league of showings as &lt;a href="http://www.barbariangroup.com/posts/1198-formal_friday_salute" target="_blank"&gt;New York&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt;, we here in Boston had a really terrific, synergistic Formal Halloween Friday.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.barbariangroup.com/assets/users/ashley/images/0000/5050/IMG_2539.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;Great meeting everyone.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;Regards,&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>San Francisco Formal Friday!</title>
      <description>&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;SF Formal Friday Slurpees!&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.barbariangroup.com/assets/users/ashley/images/0000/4974/IMG_2496.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;Apologies for this being up a bit late; chalk it up to the west coast time difference.  I could find neither cable nor SD card reader in the office out there to grab the photo.  Let it be said there is an advantage to being in Boston and having 7 years of random tech detritus sprinkled around the office.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>___ on a ___</title>
      <description>&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;I am working from home today, which means my lunch options are pretty limited.  Thanks to a cold I picked up, I can&amp;#8217;t taste well enough to justify delivery.  However, due to lack of general use, the only food I have in my kitchen is baking supplies and some leftover odds and ends.  Here are some snack alternatives I&amp;#8217;ve come up with, from my kitchen to yours:&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ants on a Metal Beam&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; peanut butter spread liberally on a butter knife, with raisins embedded.  The raisins are the &amp;#8216;ants&amp;#8217;!&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ants on a Cloud&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; peanut butter spread liberally on cauliflower florets, with raisins embedded.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ants in the Soup&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; a microwaved bowl of chocolate chips with raisins embedded.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ants with Salt&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; raisins and salt.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ants in a Cake&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; bake a cake.  frost with peanut butter and embed raisins.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blood on a Pickle&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;#8211; heat up Campbell&amp;#8217;s condensed tomato soup without adding the extra can of liquid.  Spread overtop a pickle.  Add raisins to taste.&lt;/div&gt;


	&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;What other fun snacks can you invent?!&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>GW-BASIC port of Egg and Milk Minder</title>
      <description>&lt;div class="t_block"&gt;Egg and Milk Minder is a program copywrite 2002 C. Roast Beef Kazenzakis, with thanks to Prof. R.M. Johnson.  It is viewable in the footer of &lt;a href="http://www.achewood.com" target="_blank"&gt;achewood&lt;/a&gt; and is pretty useful, especially if you are the type who likes eggs and milk.  I once was made fun of on public radio for porting this application to &lt;span class="caps"&gt;OS X&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
