I enthusiastically give Kabob House five out of five stars, and have since first discovering the Afghan restaurant in November 2010. Kabob House, Food Court IV 14220-A-1 Centreville Sq Centreville, VA 20121 (703) 543-7166 Astoundingly good; better even than the legendary Bamyan Afghan place of Herndon a decade ago. You must try the Mantoo or […]

I gave Kora two out of five stars when I reviewed it on November 26th, 2010. I have not been back. Kora 2250-B Crystal Dr Arlington, VA 22202 (571) 431-7090 Horribly disappointing is the summary. Wish there was a 1.5 stars you could click… We were sold a bill of goods, told it would be […]

It is sometimes fun to try to guess what Apple will announce before they announce it. Just for fun, I will try to guess what Apple will announce today… Today I think Apple will announce two new iPhones, a completely redesigned iPod, and a new AppleTV. The new iPod be so small as to be […]
I finally had a few minutes free to explore Jon Stacey’s excellent blog about getting L2TP working on Mavericks… His documentation is excellent, and can be found here: How to Setup a L2TP VPN Server on OS X Repeated here in case his blog goes away – but all credit to him… Go into Keychain […]
I attended Sun Microsystem’s DC area reveal of the brand new Java and dancing Duke mascot at a Computer Literacy bookstore in the late 1990s… I just had lunch in the same spot which is now an Indian restaurant called Bombay Tandoor. Memories are funny things, I could actually still see (in my imagination) the […]
