Snail Fingers

I keep trying to take a picture of this and it never comes out how i planned it so I decided to just post it anyways. I feel like it might have more potential against a very blue sky or very green grass.

Coconut Gelatto and Brown Rice

This is my new favorite thing. I didn't want to eat rice plain but I figured I should eat some carbs because my meal consisted of only vegtables and smoked chicken breast.

I decided to combine the cooled brown rice with icecream. I suppose it draws inspiration from rice pudding and add a good amount of fiber yo the dessert component of my meal. This one is coconut gelatto based.

Tron Guy - Net Neutrality

Maybe all you fbookers saw this already but I just stumbled across it today and found it quite entertaining. I wonder if this is how I come across sometimes.

Forced Air - Furnace Filter

16x25x1. I am sick of not being sure what size filter I need so I figured I would write it down here instead of on some random piece of paper. I wish so bad I had radiators instead of forced air. I feel like it is killing me. The years I had radiators I breathed so much better.

I wonder just how expensive it would be to convert to modern radiators. Anyone have any experience with this.

The snow is so shiny

I wish I had a better camera than my phone. It is the shiniest, sparkliest snow ever but my phone won't do it justice.

Colors

At work I designed and programmed the new intranet over the last year. Instead of jamming a color scheme down people's throats I decided to let people choose there own color and then created a formula to scheme from there.

People seem to like it because out of the ~1,500 people that use a computer each day, almost 1,000 chose a color.

You would be surprised at how many people pick hot pink/peach and bright oranges. There are even a few hot sea foam greens. To be fair there are many more woman, but even some guys have pinks and purples.

Its funny because the corporate push/marketing designers would be for corporate blues and boring greys but clearly, the people voting with colors picked much brighter hues.

This fire orange, I copied from (e:tinypliny) who had it for a while.

The saturated areas are the parts you kind of ignore, like you links to most used content, etc. The white space is then focused on things like the search and content areas.

You can pick pastels too but I really like the bright colors.

Each one of those dots on the quilt represent a color swatch that people chose. The color scheme is from one of the users.

Today the videographer told me that my work is ugly because I am not a designer. Ugly is so subjective. The ironic part is I actually have an MFA in computer media studies. I wonder if he does?

My Newer Dreamphone

That went fast. Just as soon as I thought I wanted that phone, this one came out It has a dual processor, and a webtop accessory that lets the phone become a netbook. I hope it is available by my birthday but I doubt it.

No android port for xournal ;(

I wish that xournal would get ported to android. It would so incredible to have an app for PDF notation and highlighting on android. I wish I was able to do it, but its so out of my league and I don't have much freetime to work on anything else.

I first found the app when I was using the nokia N810 back in 2008 (e:paul,43019). Since then I used it a bunch on my linux desktop although a windows port exists too.

I keep searching, each time I hope someone will have done it. I mean the source code is available so I imagine its only a matter of time before it or something like it comes out.

Garrett County Ham from Lexington Coop

Last week I bought a 10lb nitrate-free/antibiotic free Garret County Ham from the Lexington coop. It was $3.99/lb which isn't that bad and considering we ate Ham for like 3 meals a day for a week and still have some frozen, it was totally worth it. I freaking love ham.

Example daily Ham diet:
  • chopped Ham and scrambled eggs for breakfast
  • split pea and Ham soup for lunch
  • Ham steak with rice and veggies for dinner
  • Ham and vanilla ice cream smoothie for dessert
  • procuitto wrapped Ham and cheese with cracker snack plate

image

UPDATE: I was just at the coop and they have a bunch more for $1.99/lb. That only $20 for a 20lb Ham.
