Holiday Eating

I hope everybody has had a good Thanksgiving. We’re driving back from Tulsa where we celebrated our second overindulgent meal at Sarah’s uncle Keith’s house. Yesterday we were at the farm in Purdy and are returning there tonight. We’ll be back in Springfield on Saturday. I’m going to be starting a new series of posts between now and Christmas. I …

Calzones & Pokey Sticks

DSCN0228.JPG Originally uploaded by kerner. We love to make pizza at home. The problem with homemade pizza is that you have to plan ahead enough to let dough rise (otherwise dinner is after 9pm). Last weekend we encountered just such a situation and discovered happily that the Breadeaux Pizza near our house will sell balls of dough for $2. We …

Serrano Ham

We went out with some friends last night for the First Friday Art Walk and started at the Bodega Bar above Agrario. I really liked the Bodega Bar — I’ve been there for a few events and private parties in the past, but never just to drink. It’s swanky, has good and relatively cheap appetizers and a real drink menu …

MAKE – Technology Crafting

I’m a huge fan of MAKE. I very rarely do any of the projects that I read about and I haven’t subscribed to the print magazine (although I’m very tempted). O’Reilly gave out some copies for me to give away at the Macromedia User Group and my wife’s comment was that it was like a craft magazine for guys. I …

MAX 2005 – Anaheim

I’ve been getting ready to leave for a week of learning, networking, and fun at what will probably be the last Macromedia conference. I’ve been going to Macromedia conferences for years (several in San Francisco, New York, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, etc) — actually the only one I’ve missed in a LONG time was the Orlando one after the …

Santa Fe: Sugar’s BBQ

DSCN9996.JPG Originally uploaded by kerner. Sugar’s BBQ is the ideal sort of BBQ restaurant — basically a metal shack in the middle of nowhere with great food. Situated in Embudo, on the highway between Santa Fe and Taos, Sugar’s is one of Gourmet magazines top 10 drive-ins. There is no indoor seating, just a bunch of tables with umbrellas to …

Our second day out of Santa Fe we journeyed north once again, this time to Abiquiu (pronounced “ab e que”) and Ghost Ranch the home of Georgia O’Keefe.

Free iPod Nano!!!

DSCN0181.JPG Originally uploaded by kerner. Slightly more than a year ago I started on the quest to get a free iPod. So many people scoffed at the notion of getting an iPod for free, but I know other people who had gotten them so I figured why not. My free iPod arrived today. I opted for a white 4gb Nano. …

Welcome 417 Readers

A few months ago I was interviewed by Evan Fisk of 417 Magazine for a story about food blogs. I haven’t seen the article because for some reason our October issue hasn’t shown up yet, but our friend Tammy Kirks let me know it was out. If you’re looking at the main page of the blog you’ll notice that it …

Moving On, Sort Of

I’ve spent the last five years working at Educara. We’ve put together some great software and worked on some amazing projects. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some great people (both clients and staff). The past two years Dick and I have been focusing very heavily on building a team that could take over our daily functions. That focus …
