An inexpensive method for making a durable porous overcoat on a noble metal exhaust electrode of a solid electrolyte exhaust gas oxygen sensor. The electrode is coated with aluminum flakes and the aluminum flakes oxidized in situ by heating in an oxidizing atmosphere.
1. In a method of making a porous refractory overcoat on a noble metal electrode of a solid electrolyte exhaust gas oxygen sensor, the improvement which comprises:
coating a slurry of aluminum flakes onto the noble metal electrode, drying the coating, and then oxidizing the aluminum flakes in situ by heating the coating in an oxidizing atmosphere wherein a strongly bonded and durable flake-like porous refractory overcoat is inexpensively formed on the noble metal electrode.
2. In a method of making a porous refractory overcoat on a noble metal electrode of a solid electrolyte exhaust gas oxygen sensor, the improvement which comprises:
coating a slurry of aluminum flakes having a maximum dimension of about 10 micrometers, an organic binder and a vehicle onto the noble metal electrode, drying the coating and then heating the coating in an oxidizing atmosphere to at least form a rigid exoskeleton of aluminum oxide on each flake, that is interlocked with aluminum oxide exoskeletons on adjacent flakes wherein a strongly bonded and durable porous refractory overcoat about 0.1-0.3 millimeter thick is inexpensively formed on the noble metal electrode.
3. In a method of making a porous refractory overcoat on a platinum exhaust electrode of a zirconia-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor, the improvement which comprises:
applying a coating about 0.1-0.3 millimeter thick on said platinum electrode of a slurry containing about 1 part organic binder for every 2-3 parts aluminum flakes of a maximum dimension of about 1-10 micrometer, drying the slurry coating, heating the dried coating in air to burn out the binder, and then heating it further in air to a temperature of about 600�-800� C. for about 1-3 hours, effective to form a strongly bonded matrix of aluminum oxide that serves as a protective refractory overcoat on said electrode.
This invention relates to a solid electrolyte exhaust gas oxygen sensor. It more particularly relates to a method of forming a porous overcoat on the exhaust electrode of such sensors.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,021,326 Pollner et al describes using a porous overcoat on the exhaust electrode of a zirconia-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Such a coating not only prevents erosion of thin film exhaust electrodes but also can provide a greater residence time of exhaust gases on the exhaust electrode surface. Obviously, the overcoat should be of an abrasion-resistant material and should be porous. The aforementioned Pollner et al patent describes forming the porous overcoat by calcining a coating of raw oxides in situ, or by sintering a coating of the desired oxide material to the zirconia. It can also be applied by flame spraying, or plasma spraying. The aforementioned Pollner et al patent also describes applying the overcoat by thin layer techniques such as thermal evaporation, precipitation from gases, and reactive vapor deposition. U.S. Pat. No. 4,116,883 Rhodes describes applying a water slurry of very fine alumina particles and then merely drying the coating at 500�-800� C. Flame spraying has been commercially used to overcoat zirconia-type sensors. On the other hand, such a technique is expensive. The coating technique described in the aforementioned Rhodes patent has also been commercially used. However, this latter type of coating is primarily useful for catalyst support purposes. If a catalyst is not used in the overcoat, this latter coating may not be preferred. Also, I do not expect that it is as durable as a sintered or flame sprayed coating.
I have found a new method of forming a porous overcoat on a noble metal exhaust gas electrode of a zirconia-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor. My coating is formed inexpensively and yet provides high porosity and durability.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a new method of making a porous covering on a noble metal exhaust electrode of a solid electrolyte exhaust gas oxygen sensor.
The invention comprehends coating a platinum exhaust electrode of a zirconia-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor with aluminum flakes. The aluminum flakes are then oxidized by heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere, to form an adherent porous matrix of aluminum oxide in situ.
Other objects, features and advantages of this invention will become more apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments thereof.
A zirconia solid electrolyte body such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,844,920 Burgett et al can be exteriorly overcoated in accordance with this invention. The zirconia body shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,844,920 Burgett et al is a tapered thimble having a thick lip-flange. The exhaust gases contact the outer surface of the thimble below the flange. The entire outer surface of the thimble is coated with a porous thin film of platinum up to the flange. One technique for applying such a thin film is disclosed in United States patent application Ser. No. D-4,219, entitled "Exhaust Electrode Process for Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor", filed Oct. 29, 1979 in the names of T. J. Gold, F. L. Kennard, III, P. C. Kikuchi and R. V. Wilhelm, Jr. and assigned to the assignee of this invention. In accordance with this invention, the porous platinum thin film is overcoated with a 0.2 millimeter thick coating of flaked aluminum powder. To insure that the flaked aluminum powder stays in place during a subsequent heat treatment in accordance with this invention, I prefer to mix the aluminum powder with a temporary binder. To ease application of the powder-binder mixture, I prefer to thin it with an appropriate vehicle, and thus form a slurry. Such slurries are commercially available as high temperature aluminum paints. Paints such as these are available in ready-to-spray forms. One spray paint that can be used is HP4-14, available from Plasti-kote Co. of Medina, Ohio. This particular spray paint contains 13.4% by weight substantially pure aluminum flake and 5% by weight of an acrylic resin. The acrylic resin serves as the temporary binder.
An electroded zirconia thimble is overcoated in accordance with this invention by rotating the thimble on its axis while spraying a thin paint film onto it. The film can be dried with a heat gun, and the procedure repeated until the aforementioned coating thickness of about 0.2 mm is obtained. The coated thimble is then heated slowly to burn out the acrylic resin and oxidize the aluminum flakes.
A group of thimbles coated as described above was placed in a room temperature furnace and heated in air at a rate of about 70� C. per hour up to a temperature of about 600� C., and held there for about two hours. A second group of thimbles coated as described above was placed in a room temperature furnace and heated in air at about 70� C. per hour up to about 800� C., and held there for about one hour. The thimbles were then cooled, and some of each group assembled into exhaust gas oxygen sensors.
An adherent overcoat of aluminum oxide was formed in both heat treatments. The overcoat was porous and adherent in both heat treatments, and the resultant sensors performed generally similarly. Tests showed that the organic binder started to burn out from the overcoating at about 200� C., and finished burning out at about 450� C. Aluminum oxidation then accelerated and at about 600� C. a significant portion of the aluminum in the flakes appeared to be oxidized. By the time the aforementioned second group of thimbles were heated to 800� C. for an hour, most of the aluminum in the flakes was oxidized. Coating thickness shrinks about 10-20% during the heat treatments. Accordingly, the resultant aluminum oxide coating was about 0.16-0.18 mm in thickness. Further, it is recognized that pure aluminum melts at about 660� C. However, a significant aluminum oxide structure apparently formed on the surface of the aluminum flakes before they reached a melting point temperature. Thus, the residual aluminum in the flakes apparently did not coalesce and reduce porosity of the film. On the other hand, residual aluminum in the flakes may have made them adhere better to one another, and for this reason complete oxidation may not be desired. Also this coating may have improved adhesion because of an aluminum reaction with the underlying platinum, to form lower melting alloy compositions that cement the oxide to the underlying platinum surface. In any event, scanning electron micrographs of the resultant electrode overcoatings from both of the aforementioned groups of thimbles show that the aluminum flakes produce a strong interlocking porous matrix of aluminum oxide.
Sensors produced by the aforementioned technique required a break-in period of 1-100 hours before sensor electrical characteristics stabilized. It is expected that the platinum electrode required the break-in period, not the overcoat in this invention. In any event, after the break-in period, the sensors performed within acceptable limits over extended durability testing.
It should be recognized that rather ordinary furnaces can be used to practice this invention. No special atmospheres, power supplies, or sophisticated equipment is needed to apply the aluminum flakes or oxidize them. Hence, the process of this invention is relatively inexpensive.
Also, although this invention was tested only on zirconia-type solid electrolyte thimbles, it is expected that it would also be useful with other solid electrolyte materials such as thoria. Analogously, I have described overcoating a platinum electrode. It is believed that this invention can be used to provide overcoats on other noble metals such as palladium, rhodium, gold, and the like.
It appears necessary that the aluminum particles be aluminum flake if a satisfactory overcoat is to be obtained. Tests show spheroidal-type aluminum particles do not make durable coatings. By aluminum flake I mean spheroidal aluminum particles which have been coined into flatness such as by milling or the like. Such particles will have highly irregular edges and major surfaces which are generally of a dimension about 10-100 times the flake thickness. A particle size of approximately 1-10 micrometer in major surface cimension is believed to be satisfactory, especially if used with flake thicknesses of about 0.01-1 micrometer. Tests in this invention employed flakes which were of substantially pure aluminum. However, it is expected that alloys of aluminum could also be used, provided that they did not provide oxides which would interfere with oxygen sensing on the electrode surface. In general, I would expect that aluminum alloys containing more than about 80% aluminum would be satisfactory. I intend to include such alloys by the word aluminum, as used in the claims hereof.
The aluminum flakes were described as being applied by spraying on a slurry. Neither the constituent proportions in this slurry nor its method of application is particularly critical. For convenience I prefer to apply the aluminum flakes by spraying. However, it could also be applied as a more viscous slurry by brushing, wiping, rolling, etc. For spraying, a convenient slurry would contain approximately 5-20% aluminum flakes and 5-15% by weight of a suitable organic binder with the balance being a volatile vehicle such as alcohol, acetone, hydrocarbon solvents, or the like. However, for brushing a somewhat lesser vehicle proportion may be desired. In most instances, I prefer a slurry in which the aluminum flake-to-binder ratio is approximately 2-3 parts aluminum flakes to 1 part binder.
I prefer to use a sufficiently thick coating of the slurry to produce a satisfactory aluminum oxide thickness, usually about 0.1-0.2 millimeter. Thicknesses of about 0.2 millimeter provide an additional protection against electrode erosion and contamination. This additional thickness can be readily accommodated by the sensor and in this invention does not significantly increase cost. Aluminum thicknesses greater than about 0.2 millimeter are believed to be unnecessary and may even slow down sensor switching time response. I consider aluminum oxide thicknesses greater than about 0.3 millimeter undesirable.
Although the aluminum flakes were oxidized in air in the aforementioned examples of this invention, it is believed that any oxidizing atmosphere could be used, and in some instances may even be preferred. In this latter connection it may develop that it may be desirable to use an oxygen supplemented air atmosphere to reduce the time required to initially oxidize the aluminum flakes so that they retain their irregular interlocked structure. For example, I have described heating the zirconia thimbles at a rate of 70� C. per hour from room temperature to 600� C. or to 800� C. and then holding at those temperatures for two hours or one hour. respectively. It is believed that above about 450� C., the aluminum flake is progressively oxidized so as to form an aluminum oxide exoskeleton on each aluminum flake. This exoskeleton interlocks with the exoskeleton on the next adjacent aluminum flake to form a porous aluminum oxide network. The network retains the flake-like character of the aluminum flakes from which it is derived. Since no binder is present, it is porous. Because of the hardness of the aluminum oxide and the interlocked flake-like nature of the coating it is durable.
Presumably any heating rate can be used to form the exoskeleton. It has been formed at 70� C. per hour and 100� C. per hour. So long as the heat treatment is kept below the melting point temperature of the aluminum flake, the rate of heating should not be critical. However, if a binder is used in the aluminum flake coating, one may wish to heat more slowly while burning out the binder. Otherwise, a non-uniform aluminum oxide coating can result, with large holes in it. If the maximum temperature of the heat treatment is to go above the aluminum flake melting point temperature, it should not do so before a sufficient exoskeleton is formed on the aluminum flakes to prevent coalescence of molten aluminum. After the binder is substantially gone, rapid heating to 500�-600� C. may be used, and a more oxidizing atmosphere than air may be desired, to accelerate formation of the exoskeleton. Also, it may not be necessary that the heat treatment completely oxidize each flake. It may only be necessary to form a significant, i.e. rigid or self-supporting, aluminum oxide coating on each flake. Hence, a dwell of less than two hours in air at 600� C. or one hour in air at 800� C., or the equivalent thereof, may not be preferred in some instances.
It is to be recognized that the sensors I made in accordance with this invention required a moderately long engine break-in period. However, the break-in period which was experienced in my tests may have been attributable to electrode processing, rather than the heat treatment in accordance with this invention. Accordingly, improved electrode processing may reduce and even eliminate break-in requirements. Still further, break-in may not be required if the sensor is given the nitrogen aging treatment described and claimed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 030,747, entitled "Aging Treatment for Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor", which was filed in the names of Morris Berg, Slater W. Hawes, Frederick L. Kennard, III and Paul C. Kikuchi on Apr. 17, 1979.

'Fast and Furious 7′ Will Use Paul Walker's Brothers to Help Finish the Film
When Paul Walker tragically died last November, the world mourned an actor who was not only a welcome screen presence, but a genuinely well-liked and respected guy. It was especially hard to hear the reactions of his 'Fast and Furious' franchise co-stars. This is a series all about friendship and family, so the loss of a key member of that crew hits hard. 'Fast and Furious 7' recently resumed shooting after an extended hiatus to rework the film and fans have been wondering how the production will work around the loss of a major character. Now, Universal hinted at a strange but touching solution.

Guest essay: The Sept. 11 memorial in New York City
New York 9/11 memorial reminds us, helps heal us
There are few phrases in the American lexicon as recognizable as " 9/11." The simple designation of a date and place in time evokes an entire kaleidoscope of feelings and emotions. Thus it was with mixed feelings of remembered dread and curious anticipation that I approached the memorial complex that sits on the foundations of the former north and south towers of the World Trade Center.
I had already visited St. Paul's Church nearby and viewed the many reminders of the emergency services personnel who had headquartered there during the recovery operation.
Within the church sits a small prie-dieu and velvet-covered chair. George Washington had worshipped here during the brief period when New York had been our national capitol in 1796.
The old graveyard headstones lay out front, dated to the 1700s, the early years of New York City. The wrought iron fence surrounding the church had been featured in many photos afterward, festooned with pictures of loved ones lost and sought after by survivors. It is hard not to feel the powerful emotions that reside here.
From the cemetery, you can see the rising glass and metal eminence of the new 1 World Trade Center, the first of the four buildings that will occupy the former World Trade Center site. The memorial to 9/11 is fenced in amid the construction site of the four buildings and the underground museum that will open in 2014.
At the site, I was handed a ticket for entrance. Three different security personnel checked my ticket before I came to the airport-style security scanners. There, I removed my belt and anything metallic to get through the scanners. Then, I followed a circuitous path through a few more security checkpoints into the grass-covered expanse of the 9/11 memorial.
Two large, rectangular pools with black granite walls, measuring about 50-by-50 feet, sit on the original footprints of the north and south towers. Each pool is surrounded with black granite and marble walls standing about four feet in height. The black marble facing atop the walls has the names of people killed in the attack etched in bronze on its surface.
The names are grouped by where people worked or more grimly where they were found when their remains were recovered. The stories here are without number. These pools have a flowing waterfall rolling down their entire interior to a pool some 30 feet below the viewing area. The water then flows into an interior rectangular pool. The effect is bucolic and restful.
I stood by the black marble walls and gazed into the flowing reflective pools. I am not exactly sure of the symbolism that the memorial represents, but it does seem to ameliorate the remembered horror of the terrorist attack. So many memories of the televised events remain with all of us. Most Americans have some connection to one or more of the 9/11 victims. The unique moment of synchronicity will remain with each of us, like the day of President John Kennedy's assassination, as long as we live.
I viewed a "survivor's pear tree." Some portion of the tree had survived the buildings' collapse and then been grafted onto a healthy pear tree.
Between the pools, a glass-walled building holds several of the I-beams removed from the collapsed towers. It is the front portion of a subterranean museum featuring mementos and commemorations of the 9/11 disaster. It is scheduled to open in the summer of 2014.
I knew and remembered intimately the calamity that had happened here, yet the reflecting pools and the town-gathering-like atmosphere, of the thousands of daily visitors, much ameliorated the remembered horror of the disaster. Visiting with or being around the relations of those lost would imbue the memorial with much more emotion. It is indeed like visiting a treasured relative's grave site in a nearby cemetery and quietly reflecting on the life and times of the loved one lost.
The site, with all of its memories, will be a premier visitor attraction for many years to come. I heard a swirl of different languages as I walked through the grounds, attesting to the international interest of the remembrance.
Like other grand cemeteries and memorials, including the USS Arizona Memorial in Honolulu, the site will remind us, and those who come after, of what happened on that awful day, Sept. 11, 2001.

The process of introducing a new animal to your pets can be daunting. There may be resentment, jealousy, religious or political differences, or general unease. However, by establishing an atmosphere of love and trust, your pets will welcome the newcomer so much, they'll need to take turns playing with him.

"I met Smudge the Little Owl at Loch Lomond Bird Sanctuary in Scotland. She is owned by the centre and was hand reared from only 5 weeks old. This has resulted in her friendly nature believing she is human. It is common for little owls of this breed to become aggressive after 1 year old but Smudge is now 4 and still adores cuddles, kisses and attention from visitors." -Hazel W.

Man arrested after firing handgun during argument outside Manchester bar
Kenneth Errico of 212 Fox Hollow Way was arrested outside McGarvey's, 1097 Elm St., around 1:20 a.m. and charged with felony reckless conduct and resisting arrest, according to police.
Sgt. Craig Rousseau said Sgt. Brandon Murphy was patrolling the area and witnessed the incident. He said Errico and some of his friends "were getting into it with some other patrons from the bar and he decided to fire off a couple rounds in the air."
The shooter took off into the alley behind the bar and Murphy and other officers who responded to the incident pursued him, Rousseau said. Errico was found in a car in the alley and was arrested and taken to the police station.
Rousseau said police also recovered the weapon, a .40-caliber handgun.
Errico was held on $3,000 cash or surety bail.

2013: They call me "HILDEBEAST"....
Friday - September 6
Feeling much better and I had planned on getting up for a run before school... couldn't do it, I was sound asleep when the alarm went off, which never happens! Gotta get back to my 4 a.m. wake up and get used to it!!!! Just found out next week's tri has turned into a duathlon because the lake levels are too low to swim... only they turned the first leg which was 200 yard swim into a 5K run!! Not exactly the same thing, and with my training not being where it should be, I'm out. Next race, Oct. 14 tri (pool swim, no way it's turning into a du!). Glad it's over a month away, time to get consistent!

Yep, cold has settled in my chest, not worth it lingering on and on, so slept in a little instead of doing my 5 mile run... I just can't seem to get things going this year .

The 10 Hottest 'The Price Is Right' Models Ever
Long before Drew Carey, 'The Price Is Right' was hosted by a master swordsman by the name of Bob Barker.
Long before Drew Carey, 'The Price Is Right' was hosted by a master swordsman by the name of Bob Barker.
The late-night landscape will look drastically different by this time next year, now that Jimmy Fallon will take over for Jay Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in early 2014, but some things will at least stay the same. Extending his own 2014 contract, David Letterman has re-signed to stick with CBS' 'Late Show with David Letterman' through at least 2015.
Portlandia, you either love it or you hate it. I'm definitely in the love it category.
'Breaking Bad' has finally cooked up its last batch of episodes (discounting the spinoff), and while many continue to argue about the purity of Walter White's last stand, most agree the Emmy-winning AMC drama stuck the landing better than most. We'd previously heard creator Vince Gilligan discuss several alternate endings as well, but it seems the writers also had in mind multiple trajectories for Walt's big gun, including a prison break for Jesse, and other endings that saw either Skyler or Walter Jr. bite the bullet!
After five seasons, 'Breaking Bad' has finally come to an end. If you watched the show, we're going to go ahead and assume you've spent the majority of the past few days reading countless blog posts about the show to get a fix before you realize it's actually gone forever.
The series finale of Breaking Bad airs this Sunday on AMC. I have been watching the series for the past 5 seasons and am sad to see the series end. It has to be one of the craziest shows on television. Every week the show leaves me with my jaw on the flo
Getting set for the Grizzlies to take on the Lumberjacks today. The Griz have been tossing the "pigskin" since 1897, and the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks have been taking downs since 1915. Football has come a long way since it's birth
'Dexter''s disappointing final hour "Remember the Monsters" brought the series to an ultimate close this past Sunday, leaving an open-ended resolve that producers claim hadn't been written any other way. And while the final season of the Showtime serial killer hit has brought with it an array of criticism, none prove so biting as former showrunner Clyde Phillips, who himself had a drastically different ending in mind for the Bay Harbor Butcher.
A high point in a generally dull evening, Will Ferrell brought his kids onstage to present awards at the 2013 Emmys.
Saying he was just filling in and couldn't find childcare, Ferrell's three kids stood onstage next to him while he announced the year's best comedy series (It was 'Modern Family
I am still trying to recover from Sunday's episode of Breaking Bad. The final season is so far not disappointing. Every episode has left me with a slightly elevated heart rate and a craving for pop rocks. The phenomenon took a couple seasons to catch on, but now in it's final season, everyone seems to be watching. Including Jimmy Fallon.
Not that we should be altogether surprised that AMC continues to grasp at straws following the imminent end of 'Breaking Bad,' 'Mad Men''s final season in the coming year, and the sputtering of 'Low Winter Sun,' but 'The Walking Dead' has officially spawned as well. AMC will develop a "companion series" spinoff to the monster drama focusing on a different corner of the zombie apocalypse, so what do we know thus far?
Just when you thought 'SNL' couldn't have put that Lindsay Lohan rumor to bed any harder, the first three episodes of the 2013-14 season will blow the lid off '30 Rock' altogether. Alumni Tina Fey will host the September 28 'SNL' premiere, with the weeks that follow to include the likes of twerqueen Miley Cyrus, Bruce Willis, and even a returning Katy Perry!

A word from Oceanaire Seafood Room - Houston
As sleek as a 1930s ocean liner, yet as relaxed as a dinner on the shore, the Oceanaire provides the perfect setting to enjoy Ultra-Fresh seafood, flown in daily from around the world. Sip a Sidecar in the lounge, sidle up to the oyster bar, or kick back in a horseshoe booth before diving into a sea of Ultra-Fresh fish, including steak-cut Alaskan halibut, seasonal favorites like fresh Copper River salmon or hard-to-find delicacies like true Dover sole or bluefin tuna. Our daily-printed menu will guide you, a wine list as deep as the sea will seduce you, and the world's freshest seafood awaits you at the Oceanaire.Continued

- never disappointsLifetimeTSVIPDined on 11/15/2014You get what you pay for BUT you pay for some great food and great service...always!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing AgainLjcitizenDined on 11/15/2014Great service as always. Waiter was very knowledgeable about the pairing of wine with specific foods. A pet peeve of mine is having to request water, but my glass was always full :) My only two minor complaints: I had to request lemons four times for my water The Seafood Mixed Grill was very bland with no seasoning or taste Would i return? Of course :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of hash browns!EyeDocBobDined on 11/14/2014Our fav side dish would be OceanAire hash browns and on a Friday evening at 7pm they were gone. Wine list needs a little strength when it comes to better whites (no Patz&Hall, Rombauer, Peter Hobbs or Peter Michel!).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HockDined on 11/14/2014Was there for wedding dinner - nice touch to have a "personalised" menu and the desert on the house. We enjoy the seafood (crabs and mussel) at the restaurant. Good wine recommendation by Osman.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Nice...MDWilliamsDined on 11/6/2014This is an awesome restaurant. I celebrated my 32nd birthday and they had it printed on the menus. The servers were very attentive and gave us a sample appetizer free of charge since it was our first time there. Love Love Love it. I plan to visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the first-class restaurantsExcellentDined on 10/30/2014Quiet and great service. I would invite my other friends to Oceanaire when they visit me in Houston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oceanaire saved the day!HungryTunaVIPDined on 10/27/2014Our events team scheduled a 30 person dinner at the wrong Oceanaire location and the staff at the Houston location didn't miss a beat. With 1 hr until our guests arrived they were able to pull off a fantastic dinner. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExpensiveFoodie411VIPDined on 10/26/2014Good seafood but overpriced. Service was not great. The mngr, Ashley, came over and and said the waiter did not want too wait on our table???Special Features:
- Excellent food and serviceKeithDined on 10/22/2014Enjoyed the oysters, Dover sole with crab and butter sauce, broccoli, and risotto. Dessert of tres leches cake was also very good. Food quality was commensurate with price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RodrigoBlackbeefDined on 10/21/2014Always great seafood. Oysters were the best, fresh selection. Alaskan king crab was excellent also.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Finished every bitecleanplateclubDined on 10/20/2014Lovely restaurant. Waiter was very knowledgeable and shared that with us. They gave us a little complimentary appetizer since I noted it was our first visit. We all had something different and we all finished our meals. Two of us had appetizers for the meal. I had the amberjack chef selection. Delicious. Portions were good not overly large but satisfying. I still did not have room for desert. Will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best in Houston!LifofrlyVIPDined on 10/18/2014This is always one of our favorite places for a great meal and impeccable service. Oceanaire never disappoints!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Our Server - MarioOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/11/2014Mario, our server, made a late night dinner into a splendid evening. Based upon our questioning relative to suggestions we needed at the time....he did an outstanding job...was very helpful. We went with his recommendations and had a very wonderful meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always ReliableJames1Dined on 10/6/2014Have eaten here many times. Our Show Guests stay at the JW Marriott across the street...peerrrfect. Tip: Monday night is best, less crowded and quieter. Tall bald waiter "Oscar" from Argentina is an excellent server... and entertainer.....Special Features:
- Excellent Service, AmbianceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/2/2014Great place to dine. Choose wisely. Must of had a bad day as my jumbo shrimp were. . . .well, shrimps. All else good. Others in party had great crab cake and grilled Red Fish. Excellent service.Special Features:
- great timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014The restaurant was cozy and not to big..the surroundings were fine..the service was excellent..thanks robertSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Typical Landry's poor serviceShadow12Dined on 9/27/2014As I am finding about most Landry's restaurants, the "hype" is enough to draw you in, and the service is enough to drive you away. I've crossed too many Landry's restaurants off my list because waiters/ waitresses are non-existent. At least 4 times I had to ask another waiter for drink refills, dessert menu, melted butter for the $68 lobster I ordered for my mother on her birthday. The waiter clearly avoided our table at times and disappeared from the dining room on multiple occasions. The restaurant wasn't too busy either. I almost didn't make the reservation when I found out it was Landry's owned, but the reviews were pretty good. Once again, I was disappointed, and I think I'm done with Landry's altogether.
- Best seafood in HoustonOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/25/2014When we are looking for a great seafood dinner this is where we go. I love oysters, and you will not find a better and wider selection in Houston. My wife love the crab cakes. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- Oceanaire Houstontinman1970VIPDined on 9/24/2014I've eaten at Oceanaire in the Galleria area of Houston several times; and they have not disappointed yet. I entertained customers at this restaurant, as we all were in the mood for seafood and this is a great place to accommodate a group. We started with a selection of fresh oysters on the half shell (which were delicious); then we moved onto the main courses… crab cakes, halibut steak, and swordfish. I can only speak for my meal (the swordfish), but everyone was happy with the food and atmosphere. Thanks Oceanaire… and keep up the GREAT job!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RoberttheTravelerVIPDined on 9/24/2014Great Fish Restaurant. This survey is pretty poor. I wrote a short review but it wanted more words--probably stay away from the review, so I downgraded the overal from a 4 to a 1 because of this reviewSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TodMVIPDined on 9/23/20145th or 6th time eating there this year always excellentSpecial Features:
- Favorite FanpatkVIPDined on 9/20/2014The dinner including scallops was incredible! This is our place for special celebrations! With our Open Table reservation we were given a table by the window which was lovely.Special Features:
- Waste of moneyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014My best friend came to Houston from Denver, where she says the Oceanaire is great. We went to dinner for her birthday. Hostesses looked overwhelmed by our existence. Complimentary pickles, olives and celery didn't fit a high-end Seafood House. Ahi had no flavor or sauce, crabmeat was served on shredded lettuce, making it difficult to fish out the meat, escargot was a flavorless pool of oil. Good parts include drinks, bread, caesar dressing, and service (Terrance). The GM was great-tried the items we were disappointed with and agreed they were off the mark that evening. She and Terrance are assets. Still, just not worth the money. Also, printing my friend's name on a menu for her birthday was tacky considering you print menus daily.
- One of the bestDAMURRFamDined on 9/13/2014I took my wife here for our one year anniversary and it was great. Very romantic place to take your significant other. I really enjoyed the food and I would definitely go again. We had a small issue in the beginning due to the person who sat us down didn't let our server know we were there. We sat there for approximately 15-20 minutes before they took our order. However they made up for the mistake.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014The food and service was great. The crab cake was deliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- expected fresh fishOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/12/2014The restaurant food is a hit or miss. I expect a hit every time with 25 plus dollar plates. My stuffed bake shrimp was tasty. My husband ordered fried seafood and expected a nice fried fillet. Instead it was like fish sticks. That is unacceptable.Special Features:
- Top notchWiseyDined on 9/9/2014When I come to Houston on business I eat at the Oceanaire, period. The food is always great and the service is impeccable.Special Features:
- AwesomeBirthdayDinnerDined on 9/6/2014Not only was the food amazing, but the service was better than that. I can't wait to go back. The fact that's they personalized the menu for my husbands birthday and the waiter remember his food allergies made me give the 5 star rating!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seafood quality has gone down.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014It appears that this restaurant no longer has items flown in fresh daily. The jumbo lump crab cake is very good. The mixed seafood grill was not good at all. Shrimp were tough. The complimentary veggies should be taken off of the menu or "pickled". Disappointing, considering the prices.Special Features:
- DisappointingUmameVIPDined on 8/30/2014We went for Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner with family including teen kids because this place seemed to offer the best value and the menu looked very enticing. Server was polite, but service was lacking compared to our previous visits. Appetizers and main courses were decent, nothing spectacular like before. Seemed like the food was cooked in a rush but sat there before being delivered to table. Then several options for deserts were out which was announced to us long after we ordered and so prolonged our wait even more. All in all, very disappointing experience at this once stellar restaurant.
- One Place you have to dineOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/30/2014Service was fantastic, and the view (if you like to people watch, which I do) was excellent. Food is great.Special Features:
- Romantic EveningFamilyBDined on 8/30/2014Enjoyed our evening out. I have been wanting to go for 4 years, happy we went.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tiger fanOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Bar had only 2 bartenders. Very slow. Waiter not very attentive. Swordfish ok but a little overlooked
- WhitVIPDined on 8/29/2014Excellent seafood selections and the meals were very well presented to our party of four. Parking and the local trafffic at the Galleria make this a somewhat difficult restaurant to travel to and from.Special Features:
- I will return!PetwickDined on 8/29/2014I went for restaurant week and I enjoyed it so much I plan to go back later.Special Features:
- LetMeBeDined on 8/28/2014I really did enjoy the scenic view and ambiance at the Oceanaire Seafood Room. I would recommend the red fish and potatoes.Special Features:
- Not romantic, but still great!Faw69Dined on 8/27/2014Awesome dinner! Ordered for Houston Resturant weeks and we got full sized meals! Not too romantic because it was loud and quiet but after great drinks we forgot about the noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

JavaScript Coding is Gameplay in Screeps
I found this on reddit last week. It's called Screeps and it comes out tomorrow (November 20th).
It's not just any ordinary Strategy MMO game. Oh no. It's a strategy MMO game you write JavaScript to control your units on screen.
JavaScript is the gameplay.
For realz, yo.
I code in JavaScript and, although it's biased, I think that everyone should learn JavaScript in some way, shape, or form. Why can't that form be by playing a video game?
I'm planning on getting it on this game early on and possibly revisiting it in a future post this year.
I suggest you give it a whirl too, and look me up!
Thanks for (Hopefully) Playing. ~ DW
