Good-bye folks! I’m outta here for 10 days, gone sailing here. See y’all in February!
Kamala Muradova and our new cow I’ve been lending on Kiva for a few months now, and here are some random thoughts. Increasing the amount of money you have in play every month makes lending a lot more fun. In other words, say you only want to put in $25 / month. On that first [...]
A friend asked about my experience with the Aeropress. After using it for 6 months, here are some thoughts. I like it. I have used the Bialetti Brikka for several years, so that’s the comparison group. (The Bialetti Moka is similar to the Brikka, but doesn’t have the pressure cooker stopper on top.) vs. the [...]

I actually got back on [...]
“Hey brother, can you spare a dollar?” I’m sitting on a rock between the Fillmore and Wendy’s, hiding in the shade, waiting to meet my date for the day. She said she was less than four minutes away, and I perform the ritualistic modernist tic, pulling out my paradox machine, mindlessly (hopelessly?) checking in on [...]
I have no clue how this happened, but somehow my dad got onto a web tv cooking show called MeiMei’s Kitchen. I think MeiMei was part of our China tour group… maybe. Anyhow, this video, while hilarious, is in Chinese. A few highlights… hit the link above to actually watch the video. my dad’s segment [...]
Made it! The street meat is delicious.
