All Things Chill

I’ve been using imeem.com for about a week, and since Rishi posted about it on his blog… I decided to add to the blog-splosion. What is imeem? imeem is an online community where people and groups can upload, share, tag, and playlist the media they care about.
Translation: Just another [...]

My hosting service had a planned power outage, thus screwing with my site. Seems like the posts are gone due to the wrong time on the server. A help desk ticket has been filed. I’ll get things back up as soon as possible. In the meantime, check out my video blogs.

During a cooking demonstration, in the presence of a full capacity audience… I burnt toasted bread…
…twice. OOPS. LOL.
I’m embarassed… but everything else (chorizo in red wine, black olive tapenade and spanish omelette with potatoes and onions) went very well! YAY. Saved by meat! Haha.
I just hope I don’t do the [...]

Daimaru nasu (Japanese eggplant) and cremini mushroom strata with roma tomatoes and Parmesan cheese

I hit the farmer’s market across the street yesterday and came home with $5 worth of groceries. FIVE DOLLARS. Hee hee. w00p w00p. I looked at my newly procured produce… Roma tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, Japanese eggplant and 1/2 [...]

While Steph and I were in the Marina District , we happened upon some guy doing crazy stuff with this 10 (or 12?) piece kite.
Now, I won’t say anything about the guy who took the reins of the kites *cough* pretentious *cough* other than he was very talented in his craft. Yeah. [...]

Okok, I didn’t feel like a 3rd wheel. I actually had a LOT of fun hanging out with Jeff and his ladyfriend Amy. I made reservations @ Limon in the Mission District, one of the premier Peruvian restaurants in San Francisco (another being James’ Destino restaurant). I’ve heard good things about it [...]

Stephanie and I took a couple hours to chill in the Cow Hollow district yesterday afternoon. Now this is my kind of neighborhood (probably because it costs an arm and a leg to live out here)! Hee hee. We had lunch @ Pacific Catch, which was situated well enough to sit outside [...]

Happy Chinese New Year! Wow, I’m late… but I offset it by applying pig latin rules to the standard greeting.
…and I also gave the piggy a monocle. Whatever. Hee hee.
Red envelopes, bitches!

Larger desktop size (1280 x 1024) here. WOOP WOOP! Naruto Shippuuden episode #001 (translated here in the US as the Naruto Hurricane Chronicles) is here! It starts NNOOOWWWW. If you’ve heard the screams and yelps about the highly lauded Naruto series from loud, obnoxious kids (and geeky young men)… and thought… [...]

What’s this, a new naughty little sex toy from the wholesome folks in Redmond, WA? No silly, get your mind out of the gutter. It’s an Xbox 360 controller adapter for your PC! Confused? Read below!
There are quandries big and small especially if you’re confused about whether you want to [...]

I don’t own a television. I haven’t since 2004. But, through the power of the Internets, I can still watch my favorite shows on demand (kinda)! I love veggin’ in front of the screen for hours as much as the next guy, but I have the Internets to keep me warm at [...]

Steph and I @ a beach near Costanoa off of California State Route 1. I edited the hell out of this video, so there’s not a boring moment in it. It’s also my first attempt at video blogging with Sony’s Vegas 6.0. It’s uber cheesy, but it’s good times. I PROMISE. [...]
