Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Succumbing to Marketing
I've been avoiding sweets lately (lost 10 lbs so far) but I saw an article in the Boston Globe about the new trend in candy...limited edition variations. They mentioned Dark Chocolate M&M's and I had to try them. I found a bag at a CVS and it turns out they are Star Wars branded (the article didn't mention this). Check out the overly involved website, the trailer is kinda cute. It seems the light side of the force likes milk chocolate and the dark side likes, well, dark chocolate. The colors are: Dooku Blue, Greivous Silver, Emperor Red, Vader Black and Maul Purple. So how do they taste? Not all that different from the milk chocolate ones. Someone probably didn't want to dilute the brand, sheesh.
