I love this painting, which is equal parts Red Dawn and Mormon fantasy. Click on it to see the full-sized version.

Coming Soon to a Cafe Near You
You read that right: Torani bacon syrup. Their site suggests that you use it in:
- Manhattans (paging David Crow!)
- Milkshakes
- Old Fashioneds
- Bloody Marys
When I see a Torani bottle, I think of a cafe. I might need to order a baconccino!

“Developer Junior” on Webnation
Last night, “Junior” and I went on Amber MacArthur’s show, Webnation, to talk about our show, Developer Junior. You can watch the clip by visiting Webnation’s site and clicking on the “Webnation May 06 – PT 3” link.
I read Hustler for the pictures, but every now and again, Larry Flynt publishes a spot-on editorial, like the one below:
![Full page ad in Hustler featuring Larry Flynt: "A Message to the Tea Party Movement - You have a reason to be angry. You are being screwed. The bankers get bailed out, but the working class is left to fend for itself at a time when jobs are hard to find. But your anger is misdirected. You are being lied to. It's the corporations that have brought this about. They have corrupted both the Republicans and the Democrats. Aside from shipping your jobs overseas, corporations want their taxes reduced as a way of further increasing profits. Reduced tax revenue means less money for schools, hospitals, police, roads and everything else we need to keep our country running. The focus of your anger should be not just the government but also the banks and corporations that are looting taxpayer dollars. Your taxes -- the taxes of working Americans -- have already been cut by the Obama Administration. It may indeed by time for a revolution. Just make sure you go after the right people. [Signed] Larry Flynt, Publisher."](https://www.joeydevilla.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/amessagetotheteapartymovement.jpg "Full page ad in Hustler featuring Larry Flynt: \"A Message to the Tea Party Movement - You have a reason to be angry.

My only question is: “Damn, Larry, where do you buy your paperweights?”

Glenn Beck, Voice of Reason
Memo to John McCain: When Glenn freakin’ Beck sounds more reasonable than you, something is seriously wrong.
In case you needed a reminder of Glenn Beck’s usual level of reasonableness, here’s a collection of his greatest hits:
Here’s episode 2 of Developer Junior, the show where “Junior” the puppet (played by Brian Hogg of Hoggworks Studios) and I show kids how to make the most out of their technology. In this episode, Junior and I go Hollywood and make a quick little movie using Live Movie Maker, which runs on Windows and you can download for free.
In case you missed the previous Developer Junior episode, in which Junior and I build a video game using Kodu, you can watch it here.
Junior and I are headed to CP24’s studios tonight to do an interview with Amber Mac and Maurice Cacho on their show, Webnation, where we’ll be talking about Developer Junior, technology, kids and how they all fit together. If you’re in the Toronto area, tune in tonight to CP24 at 7:10 p.m. to catch our interview live; if you’re, you can see the interview online when they post it to the Webnation site.
A little life hint: if someone invites you to a rooftop party where a celebrity chef is cooking and they’re serving gin, always RSVP with “yes”.
The party was a Bombay Sapphire promotional event featuring Food Network Canada chef Rob Rainford, who cooked some delicious dishes using gin as an ingredient. Co-presenting with him was Merlin Griffiths, Bombay Sapphire’s “Global Brand Ambassador”.
When this computer fad blows over, I think I’ll become a brand ambassador for a liquor company – it looks like fun!
These photos feature Yours Truly shaking up a “Southside”, which is essentially a mojito made with gin instead of rum, and it’s pretty nice.
There are more photos, including Rob Rainford cooking delicious dishes on my Flickr set of the event.
If you want to try out the recipes we were shown, they’re posted here.
