Scones 2

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

The last time was an experiment to see if that recipe was better than the other one I’ve tried. It was. So today these popped out of the oven:

And were quickly topped with maple icing and pecans.

There were 8 of them. I had to make sure they were ok before I took a picture.

Los Angeles Needs a Revolution

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

There, now that my blog is flagged by homeland security, this post is actually about Wired All Wrong, a new industrial/pop/electronic band. I first heard their song Lost Angeles on Indie 103 I think about two months ago, but I couldn’t figure out who it was. This post’s title is a line from the song. I’ve heard it a couple of times since, but still didn’t know who it was. I just knew I loved it. Indie’s automated song history didn’t list it the time I looked. Google turned up nothing for “Los Angeles Needs a Revolution”. Very frustrating! But I thought about that song again today, and tried the search again, and it finally turned up a hit. “Wired All Wrong,” I said, that sounds familiar. I looked in iTunes… and what do you know, Nothing At All by Wired All Wrong was this week’s free iTunes download, and I already downloaded it but hadn’t listened. An actual good free download for once, go get it! (Still free if you read this before Tuesday) Lost Angeles was the song I was actually looking for.

Corsair 0.2.6

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

I wrote a RSS reader/podcast aggregator called Corsair a while back. It’s for the Archos PMA400 media player, but is also known to work on Sharp Zaurus PDAs. Archos doesn’t even have a page about the PMA400 any more, so I don’t know if you can even get one anywhere. Too bad, it’s a great little media player for hacking around on.

I released an updated version today. Download page is here.

I baked these misshapen lumps today. Some call them scones.

I hate the word “Blog.” But what are you going to do?  I’ve got the domain working again, might as well do something with it.
