Eating on a Saturday night

Eating on a Saturday night 04/17/2005 06:52 PM
I've been doing a fairly good job of eating at lots of yummy places while here in Paris. Obviously I've been doing a fairly crappy job of documenting those meals, mostly out of sheer laziness. But last night we decided to eat in for a change, and to soften the repeated blows my wallet has taken during this trip. To turn the documentation tide, I present a photo of what we had for dinner on Saturday night. For our shopping, we decided we'd head to La Grande Epicerie Paris, the amazing food market at The Bon Marché -- one of Paris' grand department stores. We started in the wine section and being, in reality, poser gourmands and wine afficionados, we just grabbed two bottles that looked good and tried to escape before the woman started speaking to us in French about wine. My French class hasn't gotten to that level of interaction yet, and I wasn't up to the challenge. The take? A half bottle of Domaine Pradelle Crozes-Hermitage, 2002 (white) and a full size 2000 Saint-Joseph from Ferraton Père & Fils. Where they good? Seemed so to us. We're pretty much happy with anything from the Rhône. Next stop, the meat counter where we procured some mousse de canard. Somehow I managed to leave it out of the nice photo, so here it is just tossed on a plate. Then, on to the cheese counter! Here we were at a loss as there were just too many cheeses to choose from. Though I have French Cheeses: The Visual Guide to More Than 350 Cheeses from Every Region of France, it was no use among the vast selection (because I didn't have it with me and hadn't memorized it all, yet...). So I used my every-improving French to explain our predicament to Madame la Fromagière: (In French, sort of)Madame, we do not know the cheeses well of France. Is it possible that you make a selection of three cheeses for us to know more the cheese? Of course!, she replied, quite happy to be put to such a test. So she asked a few more questions and we ended up with a Brie de Meaux, a Comté Rivoire, and a bouton Charolai which was a button of a lovely aged goat cheese. They were all excellent, and Madame chose well for us. The Charolai was my favorite new cheese in a long time. We had also picked up a saucisson sec aux myrtilles, a dry sausage with a blueberry(!) coating. It was good, but didn't have much blueberry flavor. And of course, the requisite baguettes upon which to spread our yummy cheese and mousse. It was tasty and easy and I have to say, I want to do it again very soon!

Big Gay Linkage...

Big Gay Linkage... 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

Ok. Next year I want to be a Best Gay Chap nominee again. Do you understand me? I'm not satisfied with just being known for my design skills. I want to be the world's best homo. I know I don't talk about it very much, but that's just because being gay is really boring, not because I'm not any good at it. I'm really good at it. I'm the Leonardo Da Vinci of Big Gay Shit. Am I convincing anyone? I should stick to talking about weblogs really. At least then I know what I'm talking about...

• Jonno's Cute Dead Guy of the Week
  My personal favourite has to be Louis Lingg, who was not only an anarchist and really hot, but also blew himself up in jail by putting a bomb in his mouth. You don't get much cooler than that.
• Christina Aguilera's Beautiful video [real: lo | med | hi]
  You know when pop-stars can be as sensitive as this, it's almost worth having them exploit our pain to sell records! I hope she gets another really big house. I really do.
• Diesel Sweeties' tasteful take on gay lovin'
  "I am an eccentric millionaire. Indie-Rock Pete, I will pay you for eccentric gay sex experimentation."
• Soccer Practice by Gay Pimp
  This utterly terrible song about hot soccer jocks is mostly entertaining for its dodgy gay subversion of 'ho'-centred rap/pop videos. Also partially entertaining for taking the piss out of sporty straight-boys. Warning: Quite rude, ungodly and just plain wrong.

Megginson Linkage

Megginson Linkage 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
Another one of the key people around the birth of XML has joined the conversation. This time it’s Dave Megginson, who’s best known as the chief designer of SAX, but has made contributions large and small all over the universe of descriptive markup. Interestingly, one of his first entries calls for a key simplification to XLink, one of the best XML ideas never to have hit the big-time. Within an hour of reading David’s suggestion, which is of course excellent, I ran across Norm Walsh holding forth on the same subject; apparently, chances are XLink will become more lightweight, which would be A Good Thing and might change the world, slightly.

You know, really, if you think about it, it's totally ok just to steal links from Popdex, Blogdex and Daypop because you're still only going to steal the good links and that helps everything self-filter even more effectively. Or something...

The "blog as propaganda and sales-n-promotion" phenomena is growing and only going to get worse. The issue at hand is our policy on not allowing links to blogs. The main focal point is that of trust and accuracy. While blogs can provide incredible vehicles to staying informed, they also pose a risk of misinforming us.

Canucks who aren’t chronically watching any of the cool programming on Teletoon might miss out on the promos informing us that we too get to join the rest of the civilized world and watch The Clone Wars on our very own televisions (yeah, believe it or not, we do have electricity in our igloos). Check out their site for scheduling information for the first ten episodes. Interestingly, the TV spots are advertising all twenty episodes, so we may actually see the second set along with everyone else.

WTF-2 in London this Saturday

The next WTFCon is in London this Saturday: it's a one-day convention devoted to hackery subjects.

* An open space gathering and conference of various groups, projects, people, and organisations active and interested in creating a better world.

* Action and not just talk. Too many social forums and gatherings result with little or no outcome. Come and propose and gain support for actions during Soho Summit, ESF, G8, GDR etc.

* An assembly of gifts and needs: tell everyone what your projects are all about, what they have to offer, and what they need. Together we have everything. Let's self-organise and share!

* About working together, many of us have shared principles despite our diverse goals. No more either or!

Office work on a Saturday

Office work on a Saturday 04/17/2004 07:11 PM

I went in to the office today at noon, because I'm way behind on work. Way behind.

I started cleaning out my in-box. It had 998 emails in it, some dating as far back as January. (I don't file or delete emails until I've had a chance to act on them, if they require action, or, if I've had time to digest their import if they're just FYI messages). 998 emails.

Ugh...

As I was deleting and filing emails, I did a bunch of other stuff like adding contacts to my contacts DB, creating proposals and servicing accounts.

Update: been working for 5 hours, down to 740 emails in my inbox.

Update: been at it for 6.5 hours. Down to 668 emails in my inbox. Created 3 proposals, one contract, and two sales flyers. Time for a beer.

San Francisco: Saturday morning...

San Francisco: Saturday morning... 08/14/2004 01:20 PM

So I kind of slacked off yesterday, if truth be told. Not a lot of exploring, not a lot of drenching myself in San Francisco - just a fair amount of doing things I like to do that I don't really often get the opportunity to do. So I went to see two films (the other one was the Manchurian Candidate - much recommended), bought a couple of books, a case for my iPod, had a really nice Clam Chowder and portion of Fish and Chips at San Francisco's best American restaurant and sat in Starbucks for a bit (thanks Anil) starting to catch up on all the cool stuff that's been going on around the web in the million years since we started working on representing programming on Radio 3.

Today I think is going to be more about getting some of the flavour of the city - or at least starting to ramp up my mucking around with local geeks. Hopefully I'm going to go see Danah's kittens in the next couple of hours, go see Heather at Taco Bell around lunchtime, and then go see a movie with Leslie this afternoon.

But all of this is really preamble to the main event which should be happening this evening - a drink and catch-up with local geeks at San Francisco's famous Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar from 8.30 this evening. Come along if you can. It'll be fun...

Saturday is Cal Day (and bakesale day)
in Berkeley 04/17/2004 02:23 AM
This Saturday is Cal Day, when UC Berkeley has an open house all day. Although it is supposedly geared towards prospective students, it's lots of fun for everybody. For the autodidact, there are lots of free lectures and demonstrations. I'd recommend Professor Tyrone Hayes' lecture, Genetically Modified Weeds, Hermaphroditic Frogs, and Premature Babies, if you can get yourself to the Valley Life Sciences Building by 9 AM. Cal Day is also a great place to bring kids for the day. There are lots of fun hands-on activities for kids of all ages. We went last year (in the rain) and had a blast. Based on last year's experiences, I would especially recommend Activities in Archaeology at the Archaeological Research Facility, 2251 College Ave. for elementary school age children. The university students were very sweet, and they really set things up nicely for kids, with lots of interesting activities, and the kids get to take the home the "artifacts" they discover. The parents can watch hand tools being made from obsidian and flint, just as our ancestors did 10,000 plus years ago. Another good pick is visiting the usually pricey Art Museum or Lawrence Hall of Science, both of which are free for the day. It would be hard to go wrong taking a kid to Cal Day. As a final bonus, MoveOn activists are holding their Bake Sale for Democracy Saturday, and there are 6 bake sales being held within a mile of campus. Rumor has it that the founders of MoveOn will be at Kerry's Benvenue Bake Sale for part of the day. Highly recommended....

Saturday in LA: Robot Golem Voodoo Art

Saturday in LA: Robot Golem Voodoo Art 01/23/2004 12:10 AM
sixspace in Los Angeles opens a new show of robots-as-golems art this Saturday -- from artists Martin Ontiveros and Donovan Crosby. Gallery co-owner Caryn Coleman says:

"The reception for Risen is Saturday, January 24th, from 7-10 pm. The show continues through February 28th. Risen explores the themes in differing folklore: Ontiveros (Portland) depicts the deed-doer Golem from Jewish folklore with his signature-style robots in his paintings on wood and bottles while Crosby (Los Angeles) takes haunting tales from voodoo tales to create a little black magic in her lush work. The title Risen is derived from the rising souls in Golem's quests or the rising of evil, such as zombies or spells, in voodoo.

Cory Doctorow: This Saturday, Monochrom (crazy Austrian net-artists) continue their rampage across the West Coast with "Experience The Experience Of A Magnetism Party" at Los Angeles's Machine Project:

Accompanied by contemporary alternative mainstream rhythms and using several heavy-duty neodym magnets, monochrom will delete all the data carriers that can be found. Naturally the public is invited to bring data carriers themselves.

The destruction of magnetic storage media is a form of destruction that can reasonably be called unspectacular. But it is important. Our society collects and collects and collects. The hard drives are full. However, we can also dispense with the bourgeois-humanist criticism of the "information flood", this maelstrom that is said to attack the printed word. The Magnetism Party is therefore an attempt to actively come to terms with one aspect of the information society that is almost completely ignored by our epistemological machinery.

Delete is just another word for nothing left to lose.
