about me
I like to make stuff. I am very spoiled and seek instant gratification, so I most like to make software, then after that electronics and I least like to make hardware. (Probably I'd love to make mathematics but I haven't particularly got the aptitude.) As I get older, I'm moving toward the harder end of the spectrum, though.
Non-Consensual
(blog entry)
One of my friends had a scary and awful experience New Year's Eve; I think she has handled it very well, and she wrote up her experience here: people.tribe.net/kimonogirl/blog so that people can ...

Upper Newport Bay Bike Trail
(blog entry)
I took some pictures ( jason.dragoness.net/bike/bikeroute.html ) when I biked around Upper Newport Bay this morning. I'm probably moving up closer to LA soon, and I'm already feeling pre-nostalgic.
Diet Cel-Ray Redux
(blog entry)
So, I think I got it. A glass of half grapefruit soda and half club soda with 1-2 tsp of the weaker celery-infused vodka mentioned in the previous entry is pretty close and quite good. Unless you hate celery, that is - then I don't think I can h...

Synthesizing Diet Cel-Ray
(blog entry)
The current owners of Dr. Brown's Soda discontinued the diet form of Cel-Ray. Cel-Ray is great stuff; not liking it is a sign of an immature palate. So, I'm trying to fake up some Diet Cel-Ray. I figured I needed some sort of liquid celery flavori...

Revenant Skunk
(blog entry)
Tonight I ate with my dad at the Chart House; we were in the weird situation of the tail end of a period where their kitchen was overwhelmed by the Thanksgiving rush, so there were a bunch of drunk, angry customers cursing about the service, but o...

One of my friends had a scary and awful experience New Year's Eve; I think she has handled it very well, and she wrote up her experience here: people.tribe.net/kimonogirl/blog so that people can hopefully learn something and someone else can avoid this happening to them. The post is friends-locked, but if you want to read it she will probably friend you.
The lessons are:
Not only does "no" mean no, but also "too messed up to contempla...

Thanks to all my friends who offered advice without which this soda would not have been possible!

I figured I needed some sort of liquid celery flavoring and maybe Diet Canada Dry, since Cel-Ray has been said to taste a bit like ginger ale.
Rather than look for liquid celery flavoring, I made my own. Lena suggested infusing the celery into vodka. I tried this, but instead of celery I used crushe...

Tonight I ate with my dad at the Chart House; we were in the weird situation of the tail end of a period where their kitchen was overwhelmed by the Thanksgiving rush, so there were a bunch of drunk, angry customers cursing about the service, but ours was great (however, these folks said their food was better than ours, so technically it wasn't "a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat.")
Later I couldn't sleep because I had been reading something agitating - or maybe it was the tryptoph...

This man not only has brains but fashion style in spades!
He is a stunningly clever wizard with the moxie to make it happen.
All that and he is very kind. I like that in a person the most, which makes me like him alot.
