Spike’s News

Friday, February 10th, 2006

Today, I have completed the 40th beer on my Spike's Around the World card. I don't know if they'll actually have a plaque made for me, but if you're in there in the next few weeks and see a plaque for: "Mr. X" B33R - then have a beer for ...

Power Bagel

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

I usually have some sort of bread-laden meal for breakfast, and this one was especially good: Atop each half of a sesame seed bagel: Light layer of whipped cream cheese. Fresh-ground black pepper. A decent wad of fresh baby dill weed. A slice of deli-style chicken breast. 3 thin slices of tomato (which will make this ...

Happy New Year

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

I write this as a log of tonight. I am a little afraid that I will not remember the details of tonight, because of the serious boozing that I undertook. Ellen and Paul scooped up the ingredients for gumbo, and Ellen's skill in the kitchen produced it. On top of that, ...

Soup Update

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

The soup really developed a lot more flavor and came together after sitting for a few hours. So, it sort of self-brightened. Still not something I'd make for a date. Adding rice is sort of a double-edged sword. It's really nice if you eat the soup quickly, but if you ...

Printers

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

My printer has told me it's been low on ink for a few days and about 75 pages. There were no real quality degredations until about page 74 - which looked fine when I reprinted it. I wonder what "ink low" really means. 10% left? Ugh. I bought a new ink ...

I want your beer. That is all.

On Senior Project and Other Topics

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

Senior project is going swimmingly, still. I hope to finish either this weekend (that would take a miracle) or next weekend (at the latest) - so I can extensively test, debug, and then write the paper. In fact, assuming things continue to go as swimmingly as they have, I will be ...
