Peacemaker’s Dinner

There it was on the menu at The Vortex - the Double Bypass Burger. This big hunk of meat is covered with bacon and cheese, surrounded by two fried eggs and then the whole mess is set not on a bun, but between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh, and it’s served with tater tots. How can you resist?

Litmus Day Passes

Speaking of web browsers and compatibility, Litmus — a web app that lets you test web pages and email newsletters for compatibility against a slew of HTML rendering engines — now offers day passes.

This actually is great news, being able to do a quick spot check on a site right before launch will be very useful.
