Garlic fest
I tried these things at the festival, I will rate them out of 100.
Garlic Calamari, 70/100
The Garlic Calamari sounded good at first, I expected it to be amazing. However, The calamari itself was not fried, it was kind of boiled soft in a marinara sauce full of garlic. It was spicy (which I like), but the calamari didn't have much flavor. Overall it was an ok dish for $4.00
Garlic Lollipop, 30/100
The Garlic Lollipop was a hunk of sugar with a little piece of garlic inside. The sugar tasted sweet, and that was about all that was good about it. Once I got to the garlic in the center, The garlic flavor mixed with the sweet sugar to create a horrible flavor. I couldn't finish it, and threw it away. A waste of a dollar.
Garlic Ice Cream, 50/100
I came hoping so sample some amazing garlic ice cream. They served it to me inside a half-cantaloupe (Genius). I had my first spoonful, and I tasted Vanilla and carmel, which was good. But at the end when the garlic aftertaste kicked in, it was very odd. After a few spoonfuls, I decided to eat the cantaloupe because it was so good in comparison.
Garlic Bread, 95/100
Garlic bread is a staple of garlic cuisine. Most of us have had it before, but not like the garlic bread at the festival. The bread was small, but jam packed with chopped up garlic cloves, and lots of butter. This was the best piece of bread I have had in my entire life.
I did not spend my money just on food. I also bought a soy candle, which is amazing. I got the Pikaki scent. Among the other flavors on the shelves were Lemongrass, bamboo, Japanese Melon, Hemp, and Don't Need a Boyfriend (Basically really strong Old Spice)

Apps Apps Appss
For those of you iPhone users out there, here are some must have apps.
#1. Doodle Jump is a very well-put together app where you are a little yellow alien and you jump upwards using platforms which you automatically jump on. To move laterally, you tilt the phone side-to-side. There are several themes that you can apply to the level including space, world cup, water, and a couple more.
#2. World War is an addictive live strategy game. You control your army and fight other armies that other people control. Fighting essentially consists of you pushing a button to fight the other person, you wait a second or so for it to load and it then tells you who won. This is determined by attack vs. defense. Whoever has the highest total wins the battle. In order to increase your attack and defense, you deploy units or build buildings that add to your defense. You can get money to buy these units with by building different types of buildings that give hourly income, or do missions. There is a menu of different missions that you can do, each giving a different bonus of exp/cash. The object of the game is to level up, and to ultimately boost your country to the lead of the war.
#3. The Onion. The "Finest News Source in America" is a hilarious fake newscast that often pokes fun at the things happening currently in the world, or just writes totally random and pointlessly funny articles. I read it every day. The latest articles' titles are: Jennifer Aniston adopts 33-year-old boyfriend from Africa; Conspiracy theorist convinces Neil Armstrong that NASA moon landing was a hoax; Kid Ready to Start Playdating Again.
Coolest pics
A few days ago I found this site where people use a software called Grasshopper to create 3d scenes and take pictures of them. Among these are some AMAZING wallpapers. Check it out.

McDonald's
They're accusing McDonalds of "luring" kids into eating their foods with happy meals because kids "Don't understand commercial marketing." I said WHY would kids actually want those toys they're more of a turnoff than an attraction.
Power Planets
I just found the COOLEST game today (a bit educational too ;) ) called Power Planets. It's based off the new TV series "Powering the Future." You start out with a little planet that you name and then you have to build houses and power plants. You upgrade these to make them cleaner for the planet and more efficient. However, every 48 hours you lose your planet, but get someone else's for another 48. You have to deal with the decisions they made.

New Wing Wah
Tonight I went to the new Wing Wah restaurant in Downtown Los Altos. The service was still being sorted out as it is a new restaurant, but the food is amazing. I give it 4 stars!
Apple failed
I normally think apple does a good job with their products but just look at this letter they wrote in response to their obvious flaws that they have overlooked while creating the iPhone 4. They made all this stuff up about the reception programming "not working." :/
The best jazz internet radio right here: http://www.jazzradio.com/
I personally like the Bossa Nova genre but there's lots to chose from.
