Ferran Adria – speaking at Google and his new book
In late September I was lucky enough to be able to hear Ferran Adria speak at Google, and also get a copy of his new cookbook. Ferran is one of the most famous chefs in the world; though lesser known in the US/UK since he doesn’t speak English and doesn’t have TV shows. His restaurant [...]
New theme & general spruce-up
If you see this post on the web, you’ll see that this blog finally looks a bit different. After having the same theme for well over a year, I finally updated it. Normally I wouldn’t write about it, but I have to tell you about the Suffusion theme by Sayontan Sinha. I first heard about [...]

Have you heard about Virgin Galactic’s White Knight 2? It was unveiled Monday at Scaled Composite’s Mojave complex. I’m quite happy that I’ve got an interesting connection to it… one of my good friends from back at the University of Michigan (and the Solar Car Team) was the lead aero designer for WK2!

Chumby – I’m strangely intrigued
I’m strangely intrigued by the Chumby. I was recently reminded of it after reading David Pogue’s review. While I heard about it ages ago, it only recently has gone to regular production. What is it?
