Sandwich bags

I got video editing software for myself. Here is my lousy first attempt.

Wanna win a new puter?

Have some rusty C++ skills? Have no C++ skills at all?
Great!
Then submit an entry to the OMGWTF programming contest.
Where the goal is to write the bestest worstest code that actually sorta runs.
Winner gets a new puter.

Pancakes

Tonight I made some pancakes.
First, I followed the normal Bisquick recipe:
2 Cups mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs

I made a few of the pancakes normally (read: for the picky kids).
Then I experimented.
I warmed up half of an apple, skinned and chopped into cubes with a bit of brown sugar to taste in the microwave for 30 seconds.
I had prepared a cup of Tazo Chai in advance, because I was thinking on the way home how I was going to doctor the pancakes. I left it steeping in the bag for 5 - 10 minutes to get it good and strong.
I added half a cup of the strong Chai and the warmed apples to the pancake mixture, and cooked in a well oiled griddle to get the edges nice and crispy.

I topped with butter and syrup, and melted away in a sea of Apple-Chai pancake bliss.

Conspiracy? Nah! Never!

When I browse Microsoft's documentation website in IE, my page looks like this.


This is what it looks like in Firefox.


Also, you'll notice the different URLs. When I paste the URL into IE, it redirects me to the correct page. In FF, I get no such redirect. Methinks Microsoft doesn't want people reading their website with THAT browser.
Here's the URL if you want to try it yourself.

Watch out Geordi!

Scientists are working on a visor for the blind that will translate light into brain signals for you.



In other news, scientists have cracked the secret of Photosynthesis. Keep an eye out for green cars...literally. Perhaps in 20 years all we'll have to do is scoop some pond scum into the water tank on top of our cars for fuel.
