I don't think you know what bread is...

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
ThoughtsOn some advice on ingredient substitutions, and whether something should be substituted 1:1, I just read: "Yep....same...or more...or less....doesn't really matter...bread is not an exact science."

If anyone ever gives you bread advice like the above, stop listening to them and find another source. Top bread chefs will measure out ingredients by weight because volume measurements can't be trusted. It's true you can fudge the numbers quite a bit for some ingredients, but even the slightest alteration will result in a different tasting bread. Because baking bread is an exact science.

General NewsSomewhere between 3 and 4 years ago, I put up an app counting down days until Bush left office.

With 1 day left, I'm thrilled to be able to take it down.

Giving

ThoughtsThe first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be one-of-a-kind for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- No clue what it's going to be. It may be a drawing. It may be a short story or a poem. It may be a comic. It may be a song. It might be a video or photo. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. You can try to influence me with your comment, but it may or may not have any effect.

The catch? There is no catch. Although if you want to spread the love in your own journal, feel free.

Falling off a Bike

DrawingDrawing is like falling off a bike.

If you don't throw yourself into it, it's liable to look embarassing.

Superbowl Prediction

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
Fiction and PoetryI don't often talk about sports, but I feel so confident with my prediction for the team that will win the Superbowl that I can't help it.

The Philadelphia Phillies are going to take it.

Fresh from the World Series, with victory still on their lips, they'll parachute down from the Goodyear Blimp, and armed with bats, commence beating down all the players on the field, referees, and anyone else who tries to stop them. Then, they'll scoop of their rewards, trophies, rings, cheerleaders, A-list celebrities, as a helicopter lands on the 30 yard line to load them up for an escape.

Thus, it will ensure that it's not only the most memorable Superbowl in the history of football, but also the best victory by any team since Marathon.

Also, the subsequent air to air combat probably will not be televised, but will make a great movie.

MoviesOn last Thursday's Colbert Report, Stephen interviewed Lawrence Lessig, author of Remix, a book about outdated copyrights in the era of digital editing, copying, and remixing. Colbert issued a statement dripping with sarcasm that no one better edit the interview, with say a dance beat. So, here's the interview recut as a music video.

MoviesThis would probably be more interesting if the premise pretended that Koalas are not known to be murderers by nature.
