Taco Reviews Launched

I started up a little project to go to most of the taco joints in town. I say most because I’m not going to every place that has tacos on the menu, like chain restaurants. I’m targeting taquerias and places that feel close to qualify as one.

Ottawa is more known for shawarmas than tacos but I figured this would be a fun little quest. I’ve created a section of the site dedicated to the taco reviews. It even has its own RSS feed, if you feel like following along. I don’t think I’ll be posting more about it here until I’m done the project.

I separated it off into its own thing because most of the people who follow me don’t live in Ottawa. For those that do, or visit Ottawa on occasion, perhaps you’ll discover a place you’d like to try.

This is also giving me an opportunity to play with different design elements including photo presentations. Speaking of, I need to get my opengraph image customizations done at some point. (I have some reading to do.)


Have something to say? Tell me about it.

The boy behind the Baby Shark phenomenon: I used to hum it without even realising

After 10 years and more than 17bn YouTube views, Geonroung Park, aka Baby Shark Boy, speaks about his life as a child star and his new K-Pop career

“I just remember having fun dancing and playing on what felt like a huge set,” Geonroung Park says, recalling the day 10 years ago when he was filmed, aged seven, doing the hand movements to a children’s song about a family of sharks.

That footage became Baby Shark Dance, now the most-watched video in YouTube’s history. It has racked up more than 17.2bn views and has held the platform’s global no 1 spot for 69 consecutive months.

Erin Patterson appeal live: prosecutors to seek life in prison without parole for triple murderer

Victorian court of appeal also to consider whether triple murder and attempted murder convictions should be quashed

McWilliams has skipped ahead to Patterson’s fifth ground of appeal – the argument that her cross-examination was “oppressive” and “unfair”.

McWilliams says the argument is “unpersuasive”.

He says Patterson’s cross-examination by prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC was “fair”, “thorough” and conducted with the “overarching duty of fairness”.

McWilliams points to the testimony of witnesses, including Patterson’s son, who cannot be named for legal reasons, who told police he had never known his mother to pick mushrooms.

Hongkongse miljardenclaim tegen Panama om havencontracten

HONGKONG (ANP) - Het Hongkongse conglomeraat CK Hutchison is een zaak gestart tegen Panama om het intrekken van de concessies van het bedrijf om twee havens bij het Panamakanaal te exploiteren.

Het bedrijf eist een schadevergoeding van 1,5 miljard dollar (1,285 miljard euro) "voor de vernietiging van de investeringen van het bedrijf in Panama", aldus de raad van bestuur van de onderneming in een verklaring.

In januari vernietigde de hoogste rechtbank van Panama de havencontracten voor dochterbedrijven van CK Hutchison, omdat deze in strijd zouden zijn met de grondwet. In februari nam de Panamese staat de controle over de haven en haveninstallaties aan de uiteinden van het Panamakanaal over. Die werden sinds 1997 geëxploiteerd door een dochterbedrijf van CK Hutchison.

PINE64 Halts Linux Device Production Amid DRAM and EMMC Shortages

BrianFagioli writes: PINE64 has some very bad news for Linux hardware fans. PINE64 says it has no plans to produce additional Linux devices in the near future because of the ongoing DRAM and eMMC shortage. Future production will depend on component pricing after mid 2027, while existing PineNote and PineTab2 inventory could run out in roughly three months. The company says PineTime, PineVoice, and Pinecil production will continue as usual, but the outlook for its Linux hardware is much less certain. "That's it for this post, all in all it's a bit bleak for the Linux devices, but in the meantime PineStore still have a great lineup of MCU powered devices which will continue to expand with more exciting devices," the company said.
