Holy Cow check out this new Mattel toy that “reads” your theta waves to control a small fan that levitates a foam ball. You try to concentrate or relax your mind to moderate the speed of the fan while turning a knob to move the ball in a circle through various obstacles. I did not know theta wave detection software could be put in a toy!

Cupcake Fridays!

CVILLE-NOV-2007-6364, originally uploaded by minhi.

Friday is cupcake day at the Mudhouse–which is a coffee house on the downtown mall. I think it’s the best of the coffee houses there, and surprisingly there is no Starbucks on the mall.

Yes, that little bit of frosting is shaped like a chilli pepper because there is cayenne pepper in the chocolate frosting. I’ve had a spicy hot chocolate before (Jacque Torres, NYC, Dumbo location), and it’s good. It tastes like chocolate with a chaser of spiciness, wierd, but interesting and good.

I like the coffee better at Shenadoah Joe’s but the Mudhouse coffee is very respectable.
