New Experience: The... "Chizza"?

The fast food chain formerly known as "Kentucky Fried Chicken" and now known simply as "KFC" from time to time releases a new dish that's patently absurd, in order to get free press and free advertisement for its restaurants. Just recently, it did just that by creating the... "chizza". The name comes from the fact that it is a "pizza" but instead of being made with pizza dough, it's made with... fried chicken. Basically, they get a somewhat flat and somewhat round piece of fried chicken (a big chunk of white meat, like a nugget), cover it with marinara sauce, put some cheese on top and then some pepperoni slices, to make it look like a "pizza". To finalize, they cut it in four slices.

Yesterday I tried it out myself. It's not too bad... their fried chicken is good (nothing particularly good, but good enough) and the toppings are nice. It feels a little bit like a confusing mix of flavors, but it's not bad. I wouldn't get out of my way to have it, though. I think that the best that can be said about it is that it is worth a try, and probably you will not remember to ask for it again later. Anyways... you can take your own conclusions.

    Parece saboroso para mim, como se fosse frango à parmegiana com pepperoni...

New experience: Coca-Cola made with AI

Image
AI seems to be all the rage these days: companies are trying to put "AI" into everything. Coca-Cola thought that it could get into it too, so... it released a new flavor of Coke "co-created with Artificial Intelligence". I tried it and... it tastes just like regular Coke, perhaps with some subtle different smell, but in the end it's a fizzy sugary drink just the same. I think that the biggest contribution of AI in this was telling the company to write "co-created with Artificial Intelligence" on the can.

Live Concert: Bad Hombres!

Image
This was a new experience for me in the United States: I had seen friends' bands playing in Brazil, but this was the first time that I saw a band composed of friends of mine presenting a live concert here in the US. The Bad Hombres, a band made from former colleagues from Microsoft, made a one night only presentation at the Rendezvous in Seattle (a small concert venue which I hadn't been before, so another first!) and played a bunch of cool music, including a lot of hits from the 80's (since there were a lot of 80's kids in the crowd). This event brought together a bunch of old Brazilian friends, so this was a wonderful occasion indeed. As a bonus, it was the first time that I saw live someone playing the  keytar . This was really a night to remember.

Kayaking by the Boeing 737 MAX factory

Image
All the Boeing 737 airplanes you see around the world (including the latest version, the infamous MAX) come from just one location: the massive Boeing plant in Renton, at the southern tip of Lake Washington. It's a huge complex where you can see 737s in various stages of assembly and where there is a small airport from which the brand new airplanes take off. What most people don't know, however, is that squeezed between the plant and the airstrip there is a small (and very narrow) public park: the Cedar River Trail Park . It's a lovely little park on the east margin of the Cedar river that among other recreation facilities has a small boat launch, from which I launched my kayak today. It was a wonderful day for paddling on the lake and the waters were calm and transparent. The cool thing about paddling here is that you can get really close to some brand spanking new 737 MAXes: in fact, I could even see some Boeing employees working overtime on one of them this Saturday morn
