They make a decent rum and coke.  They also had tasty hummus, and very good mac ‘n’ cheese.

The best part about this place is not the food or drink but it’s namesake, the view.

Civilization: The West and the Rest

This book is a decent listen.  I think it has some good points on competition driving innovation for the west vs. the east.  It also points out that consumerism is one of the big factors that made capitalism the dominating force that it is today.  It makes some broad strokes about what is likely to happen with the Muslim world growing at the rate that it is and China expanding at the rate that it is leading to the West being overtaken.  I see this as shortsighted in that it is more likely that China will fully integrate into the West and begin to dominate it instead of overturning it.  The Muslim issue is something that will be toppled by the spread of information.  The strongholds of the Muslim world are those parts that are lacking in information, and they will be liberalized in world view once information permeates their societies.  As something pointed out in ‘What Would Google Do?’: any group based on the control and secrecy of information will be overtaken by the spread of information.  I see the future to be a more integrated world based around an internet/information nation that isn’t segmented into Chinese, Muslim, Western, or American.
