I had a hankering for Mom’s Deep Dish Pizza the other day so I gave her a call and had her send me the recipe.
I can’t divulge the secret recipe but it came with the best instructions even a Son could understand.
It turned out amazing!
Before…
After…
On Friday I planted my Hop Garden.
Jim lent me space to plant a few rhizomes. Some Cascade and some Willamette.
They won’t be very fruitful this year but next year I should have plenty of hops for Brewing!
I’m getting sick of hearing about Twitter. Seriously every show has something about Twitter now days.
Everything live has people Twittering, everything not-live seems to have someone talking about it.
Even CNN had some contest with Ashton Kutcher. Even the magazines in the checkout lane at Meijer had a headline about which celebrity Twittered what..
I realize Twitter is “cool” nowadays, but I’m sick of the media shoving it down our faces like the hot new thing. It’s been around forever, but everyone tries to act like they just discovered it and are making it popular. Get over yourself.

Switched to my summer tires today. Kumho ECSTA SPT (235/45/17R Z) tires on 17×7.5 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels.
A drake showed up on Josh’s whiteboard today. I had a fun time drawing him!
Fun training on gear that will do some really high speed networking.
All converted with little problems using a third-party script here.
All posts, categories, and comments converted just fine.
Now I need to figure out how to make all of the pictures work…
I’ve been using wordpress as my photoblog for a couple months now. I’m really impressed with how easy it is to use and maintain.
I’m trying to figure out a way to convert this blog from s9y to wordpress.
S9y isn’t one of the stock conversion methods in WordPress so I figure I’m going to have to use one of those hacked together scripts floating around.
That said, I still really like s9y, but I don’t really want to maintain two different types of blogging software. If anyone has done this, let me know.
