Ok, no blog yesterday, it means I worked more right? Well kinda… I did read two very interesting articles though, including one that made the connection between privacy and DRM, arguing that a architecture to protect private info is essentially a DRM where control is in the hands of an individual. I’m glad because I was expressing that idea in my thesis and I felt like a weirdo because I had seen no one making that connection that clearly before. I’d link to the articles but I forgot my briefcase and the articles at Make’s place yesterday night. I think I had too much pi jiu (chinese beer) with dumplings and a very local version of mapo dofu. which brings me to the main topic of this post: bubble tea!

My task is easy: Memepool has a post on the topic. You can buy it online, it’s apparently a phenomenon. I don’t really know about that, but it sure is popular in southern china. Had it for the first time in Chengdu (ok, not really south) and brightblue made me discover that I had been missing the boat for a couple years because it’s quite easy to find in Montreal. I really like the honey dew kind.
