Beijing Trip

Beijing Trip, a set on Flickr.

A trip to Beijing. I was there for business, but took a day to see a few things including the forbidden city, the great wall and wongfujing market. The people were great, the food was great, and the wall was really great.

Hackadoodle

After months of my blog being hacked, I’ve finally set aside some time and cleaned out the site and removed the bad bits. I’ve now got a renewed appreciation for keeping software up to date. While for a little while I was about ready to throw in the towel and move my wordpress installation to wordpress.com, I think I’ll “give it another go” as Kei says, and see if I can’t keep meherenow pest free. My apologies for the delay.

My boss sent this to me (he has two under 3 year old children). Good advice for would be parents.

The 11 Step Program

Trying my hand at making a San Francisco Sourdough Starter

Ed — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 19:21:53 +0000

We’re expecting again. Yes, Simon was born only 3 months ago and we are already expecting. Except we’re not expecting a child, it’s a San Francisco Sourdough!

Now that I’ve raised your hackles, let me say that those of you who wish to join me for Sourdough Pancakes in San Francisco with the true Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis may have the chance soon enough. I’m making two recipes. One wild yeast only starter and one from the Fields of Greens cookbook. As with any parent with multiple children, I’ll start comparing them and rating them as soon as humanly possible. Photos to come.

Thought Stimulator

My sister (Kate) got me this slightly bizarre head massager for Christmas and without a doubt doubt it is the most unique and amazing little product I’ve used in a long time. Just put it on your head and move it up and down. Guaranteed to give you lots of innovative thoughts, relax you, and possibly connect your thoughts to the aliens hovering above your head.

I think I’m in love. There is a bike shop in Berkeley specializing in constructeur style bikes from Japan.

I’ll try to get Paul to come down and visit. Thanks to Giles for pointing this out to me.

Not for the faint of heart. This video shows the cooking of an Abalone in it’s shell. Kei was traumatized as this brought back memories of her childhood. Check out the other photos of Hakone on Flickr.
