Darn it! If you tried to comment this morning, you would’ve noticed that my validation script was busted. It’s fixed now. That’s what I get for flying into a rage over comment spammers before breakfast and trying to modify code before I’ve had caffeine. (Thanks to Bex for letting me know.)

Weekend Update: What a beeeeyootiful long, sunny weekend. Friday was an Australia Day barbecue over at Major and Steph’s. (Yes, we had lamb.) I had my first go at backyard cricket, but unfortunately I think I’m a bit of a chucker. That bowling motion is just really hard to get if you’ve never done it…

Hoey’s challenge is killing me! But as we agreed over IM today, it’s doing a really good job of motivating us to run. The lead keeps switching between me, him, and another person, and every time I see that I’m in third I have to head out there again. I’ve done over twelve miles in…

I was surfing MeFi last week when I saw this post suggesting a Nike+ challenge for MetaFilter users. “Intriguing!” I thought. “A running contest against pasty white geekboys? I might actually have a chance!” So I signed up. Then today I got an IM from the originator… and it turns out to be my old…

It’s a MacBook Pro. The Snook has been assimilated. (And for the curious, apparently it handles World of Warcraft really well. “Fantastic framerate,” or some such. But officially, it’s a Useful Work Thing.)

Ming Tsai’s Cucumber KimcheeI caught an episode of Simply Ming recently that featured this interesting-sounding kimchee. The ingredients were all pretty easy to come by – except for the Korean chili powder – so I made a batch on Monday night. It “fermented” in the fridge for 24 hours and then I tried it. Not…
