Oh, baby!, Photos

Last day alone

Pushing a 225 50 R17 (this set of mags was once on daddy’s Crown, but they scraped the wheelwells on even small bumps and made manual steering very heavy!).

Google Earth Hyperlapse

This hyperlapse is not the first or the only one, but it’s my favorite. Neal Stephenson called it, simply, Earth. IIRC.

    Background on the Dragon Battle (The Loot Train Scene)

    August 14, 2017 /

    Two excellent videos about the battle scene from Episode 4 of Season 7 of GoT (SPOILERS). The latter video’s title is kind of misleading: It’s not the actual scene, but a behind the scenes look. Ultra bad-ass image found here.

    Thai Beef Meets US Beef

    August 3, 2017 /

    I offered the ox a taste of beef, but he refused, saying that he was Hindu, and although this could be viewed as narcissistic, it hardly hinted at cannibalism. “Besides,” he said, “where I’m from, ‘corn fed’ isn’t a compliment.”

    A Gift of Wood

    July 25, 2017 /

    Nam put out the call on FB for fresh lamyai (longan) branches that I want to try for smoking meats, and a good friend came through. Her dad cut off some branches from their trees in Ubon Rachathanee and sent them back with her this weekend. Seeing as how imported apple wood chips cost about $30 US for a 5 lb bag, this should be a great alternative. Thanks, Jay (from J)!!

    Mina wants a pizza, Mina gets a pizza. This pizza disappeared so quickly after it came out of the oven, I didn’t get a pic. I’ve been trying new crusts and simple uncooked sauces… I now want a better (hotter) oven.

    I, Hiropro

    July 21, 2017 /

    I was a tester (paid in t-shirts) for the first color version of the Google logo on i-mode however many years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Gmail is the most important site/service to me, period. Some of the Google Suite is also indispensable. But my all-time favorite is Maps (and Earth). Nothing else makes me feel quite like I lived through an important technological period than using cutting-edge tools with a huge initial wow factor which I eventually started taking for granted. So beta testing new Maps features? Yes, please.
