Hacker Bar
My new favourite snack: the Black Cherry Almond Clif Bar. Great for all-night reverse engineering sessions.
(I did not get paid for this blog post, but I’m hoping someone from Clif Bar & Co. will see this and send me a few boxes!)
Update: Thanks Amy!

I always liked PowerBars better. Just something I grew up with, I guess.
PS: Is that a hint that we should keep an eye out?

I’ve never tried the those, but I love the packaging design (witht that typography, how can you hate it). I’ll give them a go next time I’m out and about:)

I use Clif Bars all the time when on long bike rides and backpacking. Great source of energy, and tasty. My favorite is the peanut butter flavor.

This entry made me giggle. I like Clif bars too, and I have used them during late night programming and coding sessions. I’ve never tried the Black Cherry Almond flavor, but I know that so far, my favorite is the Crunchy Peanut Butter.
Congratulations on getting your box of Clif bars from Amy. Enjoy your day.
P.S.: It was a pleasure to see and speak with you at the Desktop Linux Summit! (I was a student from High Tech High) I didn’t realize you were so amazing.

Clif Bars are awesome. I’ve been using them on long endurance rides for years. All organic and tasty!
Hey Amy … send me a box!

Might I add that I love the Chocolate Brownie ClifBar !
I also love gold bars, and the 2006 Volkswagen Golf is the best car ever because of it’s great fuel economy.
