I don’t remember where I originally read this, but it was awhile ago, from a list of “life lessons” that someone had compiled. The only one that stuck out in my head is insanely funny to me: Never lick a steak knife.

Cooking for engineers
I discovered this site via Slashdot the other day, and given my current fixation on cooking geekery via Alton Brown, I find it pretty cool: Cooking For Engineers. I especially like the nifty recipe tables… very creative use of HTML tables. In other odd-yet-apropos geek cooking news, Meg Hourihan, the co-founder of Blogger, is giving… Continue reading Cooking for engineers
Roaches use Bloglines in the fall
Yikes, it would appear that I’ve taken a blogging hiatus. Not so. I guess time just sort of slipped away from me, and keeps slipping; I’ve got things to write about, I just always seem to be doing something else. So consider this the recap post for the past few days. I’ve been playing with… Continue reading Roaches use Bloglines in the fall
Blog bot roundup
The variety is amazing: here’s a list of various agents, spiders and bots that I’ve culled from my chuggnutt.com logfiles over the last 30 days that have to do with RSS and/or blogs (specifically blogs, not just general purpose spiders like Google’s). These are only the ones I know for sure are blog or RSS… Continue reading Blog bot roundup
Cascade Lakes Brewing’s Lodge rocks
It was (another) small get-together tonight, with only myself, Simone and Dane. Lot of fun, though. And the Cascade Lakes Brewing Company‘s westside lodge just rocks! Upstairs is the game room, with a couple of pool tables, real dartboards, and… Donkey Kong. Oh yeah, you know we were playin’ that.
0 = -1
Back when I was a freshman in high school, and had an inadequate grasp of higher mathematics, I came up with an algebraic “proof” that I thought violated, well, something in math. I had “proved” that 0 = -1 using infinity. It was pretty basic. I don’t know why I remembered this today, but I… Continue reading 0 = -1
Bend Bloggers Meetup: September 8
Notice for the next Bend blogging get-together: Wednesday, September 8th starting at six o’clock at the Cascade Lakes Brewing Company in Bend. That’s on the westside, just off the Chandler/Colorado roundabout. All the usual suspects will be there. And let’s mix it up a little! New bloggers and out-of-town bloggers, come on down too!
I’m Just Here For the Food
I don’t know why exactly, but for some reason I always think in terms of buying and owning a book when I want to read it. And if the money’s not handy (it usually isn’t), I resign myself to possibly getting the book as a gift for my birthday or Christmas. Ironically, I almost never… Continue reading I’m Just Here For the Food
Zach Braff’s Blog
I plucked this item out of the ORBlogs ORpost RSS feed last night (originally via Acid-Cookie), and forgot to blog about it: Zach Braff, from Scrubs, has a blog. Pretty cool, but what’s off the hook is that the blog’s only been active for about 2 months, but he’s already getting over 1000 comments per… Continue reading Zach Braff’s Blog
Pretzels
You know… while he’s onstage at the Republican National Convention, someone should present Bush with a bag of pretzels.
