Free food from mister donut

     It was a normal bird chirping morning as I went to buy some food for the family at Mister Donut.  After ordering and paying for my take out, I noticed a sign beside the cash register which read, "If we don't issue a receipt, your meal is on us".

     I never liked this ubiquitous notice because establishments with signs like that were obviously trying to convey the message of compliance to the BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) but never really explain the exact details as to  how a customer is considered to be "unissued a receipt".  Do we wait 5 minutes upon consummation of the deal? Do we wait for the customer to walk out the door? Or must the customer reach home first to be considered "unissued a receipt"?

Weekend Movie: Eagle Eye

Saw this movie last night. The story is so-so, but the hook is the conspiracy tone, and how multiple networks including the internet (e.g. forums, blogs, facebook, etc.) can be used to track and profile people. Good weekend movie.

Fringe TV Series resembles X-Files

There's a new television show on Fox Channel that goes by the name Fringe.  It features FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham, formerly institutionalized mad scientist Walter Bishop, and his son with a shady past Peter as they investigate aspects of fringe science (telepathy, levitation, invisibility, reanimation, etc). Peter is played by Joshua Jackson, from Dawson's Creek, who also played Charlie as Emilio Estevez's favorite hockey student.

All over the world, a series of apparent experiments collectively referred to as "the pattern" are occurring for reasons unknown. Olivia, Peter, and Walter are in charge of investigating these strange events to determine their source. Connected to "the pattern" is a company called Massive Dynamics, which is a leading global research company that holds the patents for a number of new and important technologies.
