On a personal note again, I'm going up to Pittsburgh for a couple of days to see my friends Carl and Al... Paul will also be there, so we'll all go to have breakfast at one of the two amazing and incredible "Pamela's" restaurants there.

In case you've never been to Pittsburgh, I'll fill you in. I went to Carnegie Mellon University there, for Computer Science. As most geeks know, this is a great place for Computer Science, tied for #1 with MIT when I was there... This is where CERT does their job, Lycos began its life, and many other interesting tidbits...

But the important thing is Pamela's. ;) There's one in Shadyside, and one in Squirrel Hill, 2 areas of Pittsburgh near CMU. They have the most incredible pancakes you've ever had, so don't miss them if you're ever in the 'burgh. ;)

Another choice spot is "Mad Mex", near UPitt and CMU. It's a Tex-Mex restaurant/bar, and is always 1/2 price after 11pm or so. :) They have the best massive nacho pile this side of the Mississippi... ;)

My favorite cafe, where I spent countless hours studying and chillin' during college, was Kiva Han, at Forbes and Craig Streets near CMU. I've heard it's gone way downhill since we were there, but I'm sure it's still a pretty nice place to hang out anyway...

If anyone is in the area and wants to hang out, drop me a line and we'll let you know what we're up to... ;)
