"Competition is good and all. But what, exactly, is the point of the Zune? It seems like an awful lot of duplication — in a bigger, heavier form with fewer features — just to indulge Microsoft’s “we want some o’ that” envy."

Cross America with a Cameraphone
Chocolate Chip
A new KitchenAid 5 Qt mixer showed up at my doorstep on Friday. (Thanks Flora!) Being a diligent engineer I obviously had to give it a test run as quickly as possible. Even for making something as simple as chocolate chip cookies, it's obviously far superior to the old electric hand mixer. Can't wait to try some more difficult items.
Yes, these are definitely a bit more "brown" than usual... I tried a recipe with primarily brown sugar, plus a higher proportion of bread flour. It has the advantage of making them a little more chewy.

Another finger in the dam
Yet again, my level of irritation with continual trackback spamming has risen to the point where I'm looking for a new solution to hold back the daily tide. I've added MT-Moderate as a second layer of defense behind MT-Blacklist.
Keep in mind if you're posting comments that most if not all will be moderated, which means they won't show up on the web site until I approve them. It's a sad state of the world, but things would rapidly spiral out of control without severe restrictions on what I allow outsiders to post to the site. Needless to say, if you have a TypeKey account, they will show up much faster as their provenance can be authenticated immediately.
Not sure where this all ends, short of simply removing comments. Trust me, it's occured to me more than once.
