Extra ticket for The Transporter

Denise mentioned on the DFWBlogs mailing list that she had two spare movie passes that she wouldn’t be able to use.

I suggested that she give them to a couple, if they wanted them. But, no one else spoke up, so she offered them to me. So, I’ll be going to see The Transporter at the Cinemark Legacy in Plano this evening (the 8:10 showing, perhaps).

Of course, I’m only using one of the movie passes; so, if you’d like to join me, just give me a call.

Palm and Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Cooperation

From Palm InfoCenter, Palm and Sony Ericsson have annouced their plans for Bluetooth interoperability:

The two companies plan to work closely together to enable out-of-the-box compatibility between Bluetooth-enabled Sony Ericsson mobile phones and Palm Powered handhelds. Users of future Bluetooth-enabled products will be able to more easily access information, entertainment, and communicate across a wide variety of devices — without cumbersome cords and wires.

For example, a user could select a phone number from a Palm Powered handheld device and have it automatically dialed on the SonyEricsson mobile phone — via the Bluetooth wireless technology. […]

Now that’s cool. I suppose I may just be buying a Sony Ericsson for my next mobile phone ;).

DFWBlogs Cocktail Event – October

This month’s DFWBlogs Cocktail Event was at the Stoneleigh P. The GuideLive description specifically mentioned their “super burgers”, so I figured I’d try those.

Oddly enough, their menu advertises “No fries! No ketchup! No pickles!”. That impressed me a little bit, as their hamburgers would have to be very good to stand on their own like that. However, they weren’t.

Sans ketchup, sans pickles, it’s pretty much just meat on a bun (with some mayo). It was like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, only without the jelly. To be fair, my “Ranchero Deluxe” included chipotle mayonaise, but it was more like mayo with diced tomatoes — or, as Gary put it, the mayo closely resembled McDonald’s special sauce ;).

Per the menu, the Ranchero Deluxe was touted as an 8 oz burger. I know my 1/2 pound burgers, and this one didn’t seem to live up to that. I wouldn’t think they would lie on their menu, but it still didn’t seem to be a full half-pound.

Other than the hamburger debacle, I enjoyed the evening. They had Sam Adams on tap, and that’s always a good thing. And, the decor was delightfully kooky (including obsolete arcade games that no one played, as if they were around just for decoration).
