But dig the cinematic opening for the upcoming game.  It’s amaaaaazing.

Lifehacker – Use Caps Lock for Hand-Friendly Text Navigation – Ubergeek

Actually, it’s Uebergeek. Ü is shorthand for ue.  The monks came up with that.  So if you don’t have a ü key, you should type ue. 

which brings me to this link.  It’s a little hack that allows you to hold down the caps lock and use the right hand keys like arrow keys and then some.  Neato Toledo.

Indian flatbread.  It’s quicker than bread, but more involved labor-wise.  But absolutely worth it.  I can scarcely imagine having curry without it.

The basic ingredients are flour (whole wheat if possible), yogurt (or water in a pinch) a little salt and a bit of oil (optional).  I measure everything by the yogurt.  That is to say, one cup of yogurt yield 6 or 8 breads, or enough for 2 bread lovin’ curry eaters.  You add scant amounts of salt and oil, you add enough flour to make a kneadable thickness.  Then you knead.  If you have time, let it sit for an hour.  Or don’t.  Make into balls, no larger than ping pong balls.  Roll out thin — not flour torilla thin, but thinner than a fluffy pancake.

In a hot pan or skillet, ungreased, they do about a minute on each side.  After the first flip, you can push around down on it with a clean dishtowel, to get it to puff up.  Sometimes you flip too early then you can do this on a third flip.  Being the dude I am, I don’t always have a pile of clean dishtowel to put in direct contact with my food, so I opt for a large spoon.  On YT, you can find an indian lady deftly doing it this way.  But really, the towel approach is much more forgiving. 

This link is for my Mommy, who missed it the first time round. 

I enjoy making curry, although in my own little way.  That is to say, I don’t really measure anything, and the ingredients are seldom the same, save onions and curry powder.

BIRDY NAM NAM – THE PARACHUTE ENDING – CLIP OFFICIEL

I find this pretty damn cool.  I don’t love the music, but twinned with the visual it is very fitting.  Apparently done completely in Flash (!) you can’t deny the the strong influence from Fantastic Planet.  I also see a little bit of 1 2 3 4 5 … 11 12 from Sesame Street in once brief sequence, but maybe that’s just me.

I had my yummy curry again today.  I make it about once a week.  The chapatis are what really make it over the top.  The two together are so good, I can’t stop eating it.  Seriously, last time I nearly finished the entire thing in one sitting and almost died of a burst tummy.

Anyway, a new “open source” recipe site, supposedly easier to find what you want thanks to community oversight.

Grand.   On a side note, I hate the term “foodie”.  We already have a term, thanks: gourmet.  Having a sophisticated –and sometimes pretentious– interest in food and dining merits a fitting name, not one that sounds like it was coined by a retarded child.

Cal State Fullerton’s Spring Fundraiser animation: Tuffy in Just Peanuts a Day

It’s Mom’s Birthday, so Happy Birthday Mom

I’m afraid there isn’t much to this animation, I was so caught up  playing with my oh-so-clever remix that I didn’t have my juice left for the rest.

You might recognize the source music, but probably not at first.  All the sounds in the music were sampled from the same one recording, and how fitting, my aren’t I clever.

When I saw Slumdog Millionaire at Mass Brauhaus´s place, suddenly this raging version of Straight To Hell by the Clash came on. It turned out to be a “completely” different song. Not entirely bummed out, I put the medley version to the computer microphone test…

By the way, the video doesn’t have anything to do with the music. I was just listening to this brand newly recorded song while I was filming. So let’s all stop blogging about it, y’hear!”
