Cioppino: A Fine Kettle of Fish - and our dinner tonight

Recipes : Cioppino: A Fine Kettle of Fish : Food Network

Without shame, I admit I made a Kosher version of this for dinner tonight, and we liked it. Yes, Rachael Ray is somewhat (more than somewhat) irritating (EVOO! EVOO!). However, she can can cook - way better than I can (so far). So, I made the recipe above for dinner tonight - with a change -- no shellfish. For the broth I used Osem Parve Chicken Style Consomme, for the other shellfish I used white nushrooms -- next time I will use more varieties of mushrooms.

Overall -- we liked it.

The future of computer hardware

Greg Papadopoulos of Sun posted this in his blog Greg Matter : Weblog
His well argued conclusion:

"By 2010 microprocessors will seem like really old ideas. Motherboards will end up in museum collections. And the whole ecology that we have around so-called industry standard systems will collapse as it becomes increasingly obvious that the only place that computer design actually happens is by those who are designing chips."

Now, like all things emanating from vendors of computing related products, this is somewhat self-serving in that Sun is indeed a chip designer, and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, his conclusion is logical.

700 Sundays

Last night we went to see the Billy Crystal show "700 Sundays". Most of the audience appeared to enjoy it enormously. I got a few grins from it, but no real hearty laughter. The word that came to mind as I left the theatre was "bathos". Realizing that I may be emotionally challenged, I Googled for reviews. The first one that came up was 700 Sundays from nytheatre.com.
I pretty much agree with what the reviewer said -- but maybe not quite so negatively -- so I will say no more.

So now I have another place to show pictures

Why? Its a long story, best told some other time. In short - the web evolves, storage schemas evolve, group interactions evolve - so I am scattered.
