On Diet and Health
I almost posted this as a status update on Facebook, but realized it deserved a real post so here I am on Livejournal! I've noticed that more people are posting here again, which makes me happy. Of course, this will automagically get sucked into FB as a note so people who've abandoned LJ will sill get to see it ( Read more... ) -
Carnitas!
You may have heard that Christina and I bought a 4H pig, had it butchered an now have a freezer full of tasty pork. Yesterday I used the 2 shoulder roasts from my share to make carnitas. I can honestly say that it came out about as good as Juanitas (a hole-in-the-wall taqueria in Encinitas that makes what i consider to be the reference standard ( Read more... ) -
Days of Suck
Poor LiveJournal. Everyone has left you for Facebook :( (and I'm only posting here knowing that it'll get magically imported as a FB note ( Read more... ) -

observations
Another fine weekend. Friday night Zoe was stuck in the south bay so she came over and I made us a healthy dinner with salmon and green beans. I've been pretty good about eating well these last few weeks, watching both the quality and quantity that I eat. I've also been good about getting exercise 4+ days/week. I even tuned up my mountain bike ( Read more... ) -
weekend wrapup
I'm too tired for a full account, but suffice to say this has been one of the best weekends ever. Friday I ditched "work" and spent most of the day with cuddlycommando at the Legion of Honor. It was the first amazing spring day so it was nice to spend some time outside. We saw the Faberge exhibit which was interesting, but more crowded than I care for and ( Read more... ) -
dream log
I was in a class on advanced optics taught by Jack (a good friend who is a brilliant PhD chemist and probably also knows more about optics than I ever will). The class was 110% engaged and felt like a group of good friends (possible the SND crew?) We all looked forward to each class and learned by figuring stuff out with Jack's help rather than ( Read more... ) -
Weekend update
SND was particularly good last night. MoST and Suzanne joined us. It's always great having irregulars to stir things up and they're perfect for the job. Mike came over early to watch his current favorite movie on my Blu-Ray / HDTV system (Transformers - perhaps not the best picture ever released, but visually stunning in full HD) I made 2 ( Read more... ) -
A good weekend so far
Friday was the LoungeFest party at Russ and Pam's place in Pacifica. I tried to come up with a loungy costume, but ended up in blue jeans with a dress shirt unbuttoned too far and a gray sport coat I haven't worn in years. Which apparently looked good on me since I got a lot of compliments. The Teasedale's always throw a fabulous party and this ( Read more... ) -
25 Things
I'm going to break the rules a bit and do this on LJ since it'll get sucked into Facebook automagically. And since I'm probably the very last one to do it, I'm not bothering to tag anyone else.
1) I'm a hardware guy. Most of my friends are software / science geeks, but I've always been a hardware guy. When I was around 10, I had a Briggs and ( Read more... )
