You do learn something new every day







You do learn something new every day

You do learn something new every day 12/19/2004 03:21 PM

And today I learned it's Brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts. I guess I kinda of knew in the way back of my mind that there was some connection with Belgium, but not enough to realize it was Brussels sprouts. From Chez Panisse Vegetables by Alice Waters: Brussels sprouts are a variety, gemmifera, of the cabbage species Brassica oleracea. Because of selective breeding done in the thirteenth century in Belgium, [B]russels sprouts do indeed look like tiny, perfectly formed cabbages. They grow on a heavy stock, several feet tall, with a few large leaves at the top. As with cabbage, there are both red and green varieties. I guess the 's' is silent? I've never heard anyone say anything but, "brussel sprouts." Or maybe it's just me? Regardless, now's the season for these yummy sweet mini cabbages, and there's so many ways to prepare them. Tonight I'm just going slowly cook mine in some brown butter. But you could also make Martha Stewart's Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Apples. Mmm...now I'm hungry!

Startups Learn To Do More With Less...
For Now
04/27/2004 04:38 AM
One of the worst parts about the dot com bubble was that startups were bringing in much more cash than they needed, and it often made them careless with their money. When a company is in startup mode, it's often good to have them be a little tight on cash, as it can actually lead to more creative solutions, while keeping the company focused. It appears that's happening these days as more startups are learning to ma ke smaller amounts of cash last longer. Of course, recently, the VCs started opening up the vaults (which are still quite full), so it's likely that we may see some more crazy fundings - and this is likely to be followed up with crazy spending. For all the lessons learned about not squandering cash, many will disappear when cash is actually present.

"Massive misinformation" from Arab news networks such as Al-Jazeera is hampering the US effort in Iraq, Rumsfeld told the troops during his Christmas Eve visit to Mosul: "Everything we do here is harder because of television stations like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiyah." In remarks that were not quoted in the American press, the defense secretary went on to tell the troops, "We don't go out and hire journalists and propagandize and lie and put people on payroll so that they'll say what you want. We just don't do that and they do and that's happening" (which is itself meta-misinformation.) Meanwhile, the Pentagon's multimillion-dollar solution -- the CIA-funded Iraqi news network, Al-Iraqiya (featuring "Iraqi programs that make you laugh, cry, and learn") -- has become "an irrelevant mouthpiece for [coalition] propaganda" according to one of its own former correspondents, veteran news reporter Don North.

How quickly they learn 03/08/2004 11:07 PM

I remember back in 2000 when Blogger was still a relatively new service, Alton Brown started using the app on his site. So a few years go by, the format explodes and now I see he's posting photos (I'm guessing from his phone) of himself in the hospital, to keep fans up to date on his recent collapse. Pretty amazing to see a TV personality embrace the format and use it to its fullest extent after all these years.

Also worth noting is that I found it via girlhacker, who posted some stuff about the upcoming new Iron Chef supershow featuring everyone I love from the Food Network (except Bobby Flay's involved).

If foxes can learn Ruby, why can't you?


If foxes can learn Ruby, why can't you? 03/06/2004 02:02 AM

Why The Lucky Stiff's (poignant) guide to Ruby is shaping up to be a masterpiece. Trust me, you've never read a programming language guide that's even remotely comparable. Even if you have no interest in Ruby you should check it out, if only for the cartoon foxes. Here's Why's explanation of Ruby's array syntax:

An array is a list surrounded by square brackets and separated by commas.

[1, 2, 3] is an array of numbers.

['coat', 'mittens', 'snowboard'] is an array of strings.

Think of it as a caterpillar which has been stapled into your code. The two square brackets are staples which keep the caterpillar from moving, so you can keep track of which end is the head and which is the tail. The commas are the caterpillar's legs, wiggling between each section of its body.

Once there was a caterpillar who had commas for legs. Which meant he had to allow a literary pause after each step. The other caterpillars really respected him for it and he came to have quite a commanding presence. Oh, and talk about a philanthropist! He was notorious for giving fresh leaves to those less-fortunate.

The foxes say it best:
