I can’t get enough of this stuff:
It’s male. But what is it? A zonkey? A deebra? That’s the debate in Barbados since a zebra gave birth to a foal sired by a donkey.
Alex was born April 21, a milk-chocolate brown creature with the black stripes of a zebra on his ears and […]

I am a fan of this hummus recipe on Epicurious. However, this makes a monstrously huge amount (and, in my opinion, doesn’t call for enough olive oil or garlic), so I like to adjust the proportions:
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 cans TJ’s organic chick-peas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup well stirred tahini
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice, […]
This morning, Chris Anderson posted a good response to some of Dave Shea’s concerns/questions about Avalon. Both posts are worth a read - very educational in terms of understanding both Avalon itself and some of the initial impressions of the community.
Rob, Arik, Karsten, and Pablo are on Channel 9 talking about Avalon.
If you just want to see the pretty demos, skip to about 34 minutes in. Nathan is the design guru behind those. I suspect that seeing the demos will inspire you to watch the interview as well.
A few people have been teasing me about my recent fascination with ligers and other hybrid animals.
Kevin is one of them.
Kevin and I were chatting about the release of Tiger when we were in the office on Friday, and I made a silly comment about how excited I would be if there was a version […]
I promised that I would explain a little bit about what “Application Model” means, and more specifically what it means for Avalon. Before we can even get too far there, it’s interesting to ask a simple question: what do we mean by “application” in the first place?
A lot of application platforms don’t do a great […]
Speaking of ligers, did you know that they actually exist? I was sure that this was just something the overly-imaginative Napoleon dreamed up, but if there’s an article about them in Wikipedia, then they must actually be real.
That’s the most amazing thing I’ve learned all day.
Update 04/13/2005, 9:56am: The story gets even crazier.
If I do start posting more about film (no guarantee that I will, but I thought I’d warn you just in case), you may start to get the feeling that I’m a harsh critic. And I think this is pretty accurate. If I spend two hours of my life sitting on a couch watching […]
When I first saw Napoleon Dynamite, I wasn’t that impressed. Maybe I just didn’t get it, but the movie was more painful to watch than enjoyable — I think I just felt too embarrassed for Napoleon, Pedro, and Deb, who were so painfully awkward and strange. Of course, there were a few saving graces: “Girls […]
MSN Messenger 7 has a highly addictive new feature that enables members to play games with each other while chatting. I had fun bugging Kenny to play Checkers with me tonight while he tried to write his post about providing user feedback for Indigo. Which reminded me that in my post about Ladybug from a […]
