Sorry if I don’t update frequently

I suck at blogging.

here’s a picture from my brand new DSLR. This is what I’ve been busy playing with, that and working the Taiwanese-time-zone shift at work, so we can work with some guys I can’t tell you about under NDA.
Hit more for the full size.

    A graph showing how much I want to donate to public radio

    [wdgpo_plusone]
    Don’t get me wrong, I want to….but the constant pestering, it does get annoying. I’m going to donate because I enjoy the stations and I believe in what they are doing, but I’m specifically NOT going to donate during their fundraising month. I’ve actually stopped listening for the most part because of how annoying it gets.

      Sausage Log – The SEQUEL

      [wdgpo_plusone]
      Mmmmmmm, more heart attacks. Who can say no? See my first sausage log here, it inspired this one. I decided that because I’m an American I have a constitutional right to make anything someone else made bigger, better, and in this case cut in half because it was snowing and I didn’t want to grill outside.

      I precooked strips of chicken using lemon juice, pepper, and some cilantro and old bay seasoning (my goodness, I love old bay seasoning). I’m posting this now, but I actually did this about a year ago so my memory is a little fuzzy on the details. I think if I were to do it again, I’d precook the chicken only slightly. Perhaps boil it for a bit just to get things started and then do all my seasoning and let it fully cook in the sausage. I was too afraid of getting salmonella so I played it safe and precooked it fully.

      I then sauteed lightly some onion with garlic, and peppers with butter (actually, the lovely Robin did this part).

      I did create another bacon weave but this one was far bigger. I weaved them in such a way that there was a two strip overlap and used a tiny spread of molasses to get things to stick. Essentially I took two bacon strips and adhered them to eachother with about 2″ of each end, resulting in a bacon strip that instead of crossing 5 weaves would cross 8 weaves.

      Unfortunately I didn’t take as many pictures this time as I did the last time (I guess I never expected to post it online when I made it), but I do have some pictures for you.

      Progressive Snapshot (pics!)

      I feel I may be buying into this big brother business, but my car insurance is ridiculously expensive. I’m doing anything I can, including switching insurance companies every 6 months just to make usage of their “sign on bonus” (Don’t worry, I’ve checked to make sure it’s cheaper)

      I’m trying out Progressive Snapshot now. I must admit, I feel a bit worried about it all, the tracking etc. but they do make it easy. They assure me over and over again GPS is not used, speeds are not measured, and no matter what my policy can only go down, not up.

        Yet another new web page launch

        [wdgpo_plusone]
        What can I say, I get bored easily and I like starting new projects. It gives me inspiration!

        Anywho, enjoy! I’m dropping all pretense and just saying screw it. I’m a big steam punk fan, and I’m showing it with this website.
