The State of Waffles Emergency

I didn’t know that there’s a Waffle shortage. I’d better write to my Senator!

At first it sounded like a joke, but apparently a Kellogg plant was closed due to Listeria fears.

The New York-based Annex Capital Management, general partner of Annex Holdings, is a private equity group.

In a written statement, Annex officials said the Gardenburger withdrawal “is not the first time that Kellogg has faced food-safety and product-quality issues.”

Annex points to September when Kellogg recalled 4,500 cases of Eggo waffles and Eggo pastries after the Georgia Department of Agriculture found listeria monocytogenes bacteria in a sample. The product had not been shipped into the marketplace and no illnesses were reported, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

I am still looking for any news items and press releases regarding this matter; only found a few.

JVC Everio GZ-HM400 AVCHD Camcorder Raw Sample.

The latest video sample I obtained is from JVC Everio GZ-HM400 AVCHD Camcorder.

  • 32GB Internal Memory.
  • SD/SDHC Memory Card Slot.
  • 1/2.33″ CMOS Sensor.
  • 10x Optical Zoom.
  • 24MBPS (VBR).

The video quality is above average thanks to the larger CMOS sensor (at 0.429 inch). The video was taken in a low light condition thus the grainy pictures. You can view the h.264 video here or download the Raw file in ISO format (150.5MB).

The video is imported using iMovie ’09; iPhone and iPod touch compatible.

Best Buy loves to rip customer off.

Walked in to a Best Buy the other day to kill some times and I saw something that reminded me why I don’t spend my money there.

Best Buy is selling an AirPort Express Base Station 802.11n for $109.99 and that is $10 more than Apple’s own price. Maybe Best Buy thinks that their customers are stupid.
