Steamed baby bok choy with oyster sauce and broiled pork chops with “salt and pepper” calamari.
There’s a certain flavor at dim sum houses that I can never really put my finger on. You can find it in the fried calamari and chicken wings – the combination has a very strong savory bite and finishes [...]

Ever since I picked up my PowerBook a few years (damn, time for an upgrade? Hee hee), I’ve always wondered why the basic text looked different from Windows XP to OS X. I never bothered to look into it because I’m very lazy and I kinda liked the contrasts between the two. Joel [...]

Larger view here. I’ve heard of this site before, but I finally got on Kuler ’cause of Clint’s link dump. What is Adobe’s Kuler?

Ending next Monday: 15% off Writing Instruments @ Franklin Covey. That means their stock of the playful and reliable ACME pens are on sale too. I’m fond of the Blueprint and Dots (designed by Charles and Ray Eames!) patterns. Good “Boss” gift or self-present. Stop using those damn $0.03 [...]

I just bought the HP Photosmart C3180 All in One Printer/Scanner/Copier for around $80 because I uhhh… need a Printer / Scanner / Copier. I’m not into multi-function gadgets, since they seem to excel @ only one facet of their features list… but I figure that I’ll need to use all 3 anyway for [...]

Finally, after all these years… slashdot rocked a redesign. I love it. Infinitely easier on the eyes… but those articles icons need a face lift too. People born after 1985 might not understand the Bill Gates / Borg reference. Oh Lordy… I AM a “wrinkly.” LOL.

Eyeglasses are important. They frame your face and after a while, they become a part of who you are. I’ve been planning to get new specs within the next few months and I think it’s about time I change it up. Plus, it gives me an excuse to surf daily for that [...]
