From Maine to Washington. Today I embark on what will become, a cross country expedition from Maine to Washington, with my best friend Paul. Paul has spent the last couple of years living near his hometown in Maine to facilitate his (now complete) education at U Maine. Though he was born and raised in Maine, […]
Tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Yum. Staple foods if you ask me. The Italians think so too, just ask them. Conveniently, if you use the traditional variety of all the ingredients the dish’s colors match those of the Italian flag. Insalata caprese comes from the Campania region of Italy. Traditionally, the salad is not dressed with […]
I can’t think of anything more delicious than enchiladas verde. The quality of Mexican food in most of the USA is terrible, so we don’t go out for it unless we know somewhere good. That means I cook a lot of Mexican food at home. Totally worth it. I use my carne asada recipe to […]
Today I started an Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps migration for a customer, and was perplexed to find that the Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange tool (hereafter GAMME) crashed as soon as I started a migration. The solution is simple, but a little perplexing. At least up until the day this was written (12/07/12) GAMME […]
Looks like its come for another road trip. For 2012, instead of the regular tour we are instead headed to Madera, CA to pick up a wooden (and wood-fired!) hottub. This winter I’ll be stoked to sit outside in the tub while it snows, but for now: onward!
I use this to marinade pretty much everything that is ‘general purpose’ before it goes on the grill. Use a quart slide-lock ziplock and chop/pour everything into that. I find it helps to sometimes roll the top of the bag down and place the bag into a large tupperware container. That way everything stays open-side […]
Well ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time since I last posted. Our neighbor Rob sold us a delicious ‘variety pack’ of grass feed beef from his farm in Grandview, WA a couple of days ago, and the first order of business was burgers. More on that later, but I will tell you […]
I am beginning to see a lot of failed hard drive/front IR cable assemblies in Mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13″ models. This can be hard to diagnose without a replacement cable, but if replacing the hard drive doesn’t resolve the problem replacing the cable might. I have cables available from $30 + shipping and complete repair […]
The dreaded Google Malware Warning, most amateur website operators have, or will have experience with it. When Google detects that your website has been compromised and is providing a channel for the distribution of malware, they show this warning for anyone referred from a Google property, including users of Google’s Chrome browser, who get the […]
SEE UPDATE BELOW In light of the color wheel failure in my HD70 I was forced to find a replacement. I have to commend Optoma. Despite their somewhat snippy customer service rep, I am really impressed. I called them four days ago (Monday) after they had closed for the day (why answer the phone if […]
