Script.aculo.us is a great UI building set of interfaces for JavaScript which I just looked into, and which will likely inform the production of some of the newer features to this website.? Those being things like a restaurant lookup app, representative lookup app, and probably a few back-end tools you needn’t know about.

Well, I just got the thing unpacked and ready to go, just played around with a few experiments on the Dev domain, and now their freakin’ wiki went mamaries-up.? Hopefully, they’re just making a few changes and it will return soon. It’s Saturday morning, I’m working in the home office, and I need a diversion! Oh, well.

Meanwhile, I just ate at Shiki for the first time.? If you haven’t heard of, Shiki is a little tiny sushi bar on Clinton ave, right around the corner from me.? Before I describe that, let me describe my condition:
I used to go to California Rollin’ years ago and loved it, but I went there a few months ago and man!? Did it ever get sleazy and ghetto-esque!? I was very disappointed in the lack of service, the appalling sanitation and lousy rolls.? This was a huge disappointment, as I’d been talking up California Rollin’s sushi for years with the missus.? She’s not a sushi eater in the first place, but I was trying to convince her that it was good, and that experience didn’t help.? So, I’ve been looking for a place that serves decent sushi and other things my wife will eat under the same roof for a while, now.? We found Shiki.

Shiki’s sushi was incredible, and the saki was great, too.? I walked out of the restaurant on cloud nine!!? Sarah enjoyed her dinner as well, so it looked like we struck gold.? Well, that was before she got violently ill.

I’m hoping against hope that the illness was something else, but I doubt it.? Even so, the damage is done, and I doubt I’ll get her back in that restaurant again.? Grrr.? I wanted to review that restaurant, but now if I’m honest about the experience, it doesn’t make for a very nice review, does it?
