Hot and Hearty

Yummy, a hot, hearty and nutritious meal on the go, on in my case, when I'm too lazy to heat up some ramen noodles.

More MRE

More close-ups.

Close up of MRE

Here's a closer shot, oh yeah, it even included coffee, creamer and sugar! Can't have our boys getting drowsy (or cranky) out there!

MRE

MRE stands for Meals Ready to Eat. I'm lucky enough to work with someone who selflessly devotes himself to the military, as well as works in the same crummy profession I'm in. I asked him once about MRE's as they are fascinating to me for some unknown reason. I mean, a hot, ready to eat meal, with all the trimmings, any time you want? What convenience, what comfort, what simplicity! So he mentioned to me that he had one laying around and I was welcome to it! Woo-Hoo.

Here you go with pics! The one I got is Rice, beans and Cajun Sausage. It also comes with just about everything you could think of in a meal, from a mini tabasco (which lek, absolutely adored), to grape drink mix (Army issued kool-aid?!) Total items included - the meal in a pouch, like the kind caprisun drinks come in, so it can be heated. A heating element, a chocolate bar, Crackers with a tube of cheese (what? it's no different than that can of EZcheese I've seen you sucking down!), condiments, a plastic spoon, and the already mentioned grape drink mix.

I'm Salivating over the iPhone!

Ok, I'm an admitted fanboy of everything Apple! I love all their products, from the Macbook to the many variations of the iPod. I'm sure all of you also know, I'm a very big fan of gadgets in general and right now I'm sporting a not too fashionable, but very capable Treo 700P. Well now Apple has gone and announced the upcoming release of their very own new gadget phone - the iPhone. The skinny of it is, it's gorgeous! The widescreen is absolutely awesome. With built in sensors that automatically dim the screen when it senses your skin (such as when on a call, saves power, prevents accidental dials), senses when you wish to view in landscape mode and automatically adjusts, and even dims or brightens the keys and display according to how much ambient light it detects. WOW! It has an awesome interface, is very slim and sexy looking and plays movies and itunes every bit as easy as the iPod does. It also have a version of safari browser built in, and with the supported wifi, allows you to comfortably browse. Without wifi, it's a pokey slow EDGE network. No 3G, so browsing the web is probably going to suck unless you're in a hotspot. Another bummer is the lack of a keyboard. I hate typing on the screen, hopefully some companies will have some external keyboards. It's offered only on Cingular, which sucks, cause I finally got Verizon to just where I like it. Any way, some pics! Photos courtesy of treocentral.com
