All Things Chill

Larger view here. Sometimes when I cook, things go wrong and what was a well thought out plan… failed in execution. Yes. Failure. LOL. Most of the time, I can adjust and make it edible at the very least… but last week was a different story. It was a [...]

Youtube link here. I tried to order pizza and failed. What was a simple video post turned into a lesson in opera, kittens, furniture and the power of love between seven strangers, picked to live in a house, work together and have their lives tape… ok just opera. There’s even acting [...]

XNA, Xbox’s new community development architecture is actually receiving some life after months and months of PR speak yesterday’s GDC announcements. I caught up on the highlights on Xbox Insider (an Xbox360 dashboard streaming service) while I shifted in my seat a lil’ bit – Excitable indeed. Hee hee.
All I had to do [...]

Lights – February Air (myspace here). The song was recently featured on an Old Navy commercial and when I saw it… I immediately got off the couch and tracked it down.

1 can of lump crab meat (about [...]
