Who is the final cylon? Here’s one theory at Screen Rant, interesting. Plus, apparently it’s been leaked already that the final cylon is not in the pic above.

Chocolate Pencils

Chocolate Pencils

Chocolate-pencils is a collaboration with patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the mastermind behind some very popular dessert shops. Tsujiguchi created a new dessert to go with some newly designed tableware from nendo, a design company. They wanted the plates to show off the beauty of meals and desserts like a painting on a canvas.

Based on this idea, the “chocolate pencils” come in a number of cocoa blends that vary in intensity, and chocophiles can use the special “pencil sharpener” that comes with our plate to grate chocolate onto their dessert. Pencil filings are usually the unwanted remains of sharpening a pencil, but in this case, they’re the star!

My wife would love this, and I can’t imagine the cost. :-)

Portfolio.com’s Caroline Waxler has posted “C.E.O. Survival Guide: Your Kid’s Internet Postings Are Landing You in Hot Water“.

First of all, if you’re a CEO of a moderately sized company, you’re not reading Geeknews. But if you’re reading Geeknews then you’ll probably enjoy the little story in the first paragraph about the CEO’s punk kid that almost blew a multi-billion dollar merger between telcos by blogging about how abusive mergers can be.

Doh!

Making Money Hand Over Fist

Ever watch commodities traders on the floor of the exchange throwing gang signs around? OK, those signs are actually buy and sell signals.

It’s always looked like gibberish to me. Now I know what they mean; an oil trader demonstrates the hand signals used on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange in this New York Times article.
