The weather today was supremely beautiful, and Benchmark in Park Slope has a lovely outdoor dining space. Jason, Holly, Tania, Loc, and I met up there for brunch.
The food just wasn't seasoned enough, but the place was nice, so I'd give it another try.
We found a benchmark near our camping place. This marks the boundaries between sections.

We faulted Apple for using a Photoshop "common tasks" benchmark in the dark days of the G4, why aren’t we faulting these benchmarks? Modo and Pages are Universal binaries, not all apps are such. Pages makes heavy use of integer math. Why aren’t you running a Photoshop shootout Steve?
(Not that I don’t think for common tasks like iLife, Safari, and iWork people will enjoy a nice speed boost relative to the iMac G5, but there are people going around claiming that the PowerMac 2x2G5 is slower than an Intel iMac. What are they smoking?)
This is an internal benchmarking example. Using best practice KPIs organizations can compare individual departments with each other. With this information the organization now can learn from high performing departments and improve underperforming departments

On the town square. It's kinda fun to run into these. I used to actively seek these out, until the whole geocaching scene started making me feel like kind of a dork. And I'm enough of a dork already.

We visited Hoover Dam during our travels north. Looks a little different than it did in the late 1950's, when I had last been there.
I was quite taken with the brass benchmarks embedded in the dam itself. This one is dated 1935.
