New Favorite Recipe

I have found a new favorite recipe, this is for something really simple though, white bread! http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,194,157185-234194,00.html I substituted sugar for the honey and I amended the directions to include baking at 350 degrees for about 30 to 35 minutes. My first try with this recipe today came out as two soft, delicious loaves of […]

Dell Color Laser 3100cn Problems and Solutions

My Dell Color Laser 3100cn, commonly referred to here as “the Tank”, has been having issues printing full page color pictures lately. Today when I had family around and they were waiting for prints of pictures it was decided (by Chris) that it was time to fix it. The two issues occurring most were a […]

Ideal Food Temperatures

One of my new gadgets this year is an infrared surface-read thermometer. I am presently trying to find a guide book or other resource that indicates the ideal external serving temperature for common foods. I don’t want to know internal temps so much as I want to know surface temps, but I can probably figure […]

Gold CDs

GITI Status: January 3, 2009

Getting It Together Interface… I never get tired of typing it out like that. In the past two days I have been working on GITI, primarily in the education module. I have made almost no progress towards the mobile version, but at the same time, there is no immediate need for it. At this time, […]

My Personal New Year

I don’t really get into the whole “January 1” renewal thing. I don’t get why people make resolutions still, or why any of those traditions still hold. In general, when “New Year” traditions were started, the individual person was less important, and people actually kept their resolutions. I personally do not really celebrate the New […]

Happiness in a Ring

I don’t know that any shipment that has arrived for me recently has made me as excited as a little envelope I received today from Adorama. I received a neat little device called a “52mm to 55mm Step-Up Adapter Ring”. Such a tiny and inexpensive piece of happy. This little guy will let me use […]
