Where Have I Been?
The Rocket Museum
They Also Do MathI know, wonder, wonder, wonder. Well, as you may remember, I was spending a bunch of weeks looking at hotels in my fair city and writing them up for NewYork.com. In the process, I relearned about a super cool museum out in Queens, the New York Hall Hall of Science. Not only does the NYHS have gen-yoo-wine, honest-to-goshness ROCKETS (Mercury and Gemini and a chunk of an Apollo) but it also has interactive science exhibits. In fact, they're so cool that one of the earliest, Mathematica, was designed by Charles and Ray Eames, of beautiful chair fame.And then I was doing some contract work for my alma mater - roar, Lion, roar! - and the day rate was sufficiently high for me to focus on that work to the exclusion of this beloved (but unpaid) blog. But I'm back. And I'm working on Book Two of the Wrong Sword trilogy, Hero's Army.
And I learned enough about Dreamweaver for Windows to know that it is the Devil's work. EVIL!

When you're tired of the Internet...
...you're tired of staring at stuff on your laptop.
Yes, yes indeed.
Yes, yes indeed.

Why did the RNC allow this?So they could auction off the chair on eBay.
I'd bid on that.
ETA: Oh, wait. Someone's already bought it.

Medieval Recipe Day!
Guillaume Tirol's recipe for Cassia Soup (c. 1395):
Cook chicken, beef, or other meat in wine or water. Quarter it and brown it.Take dry, cooked, unpeeled almonds and plenty of cassia. Crush it, sieve it, and steep it in beef broth. Cassia is a kind of cinnamon.Verjuice is an acid juice made from pressing sour fruit like unripe grapes or crabapples...modern cooks tend to use wine or vinegar.Grains of paradise are seeds that taste pungent and peppery. They're in the ginger family.If you dare to make this, let me know how it goes.

The Next Big Thing
First there was the website - big and formal.
Then there was the blog post - shorter, informal.
Then there was the tweet - really short, really casual.
Next up: The Blip
You only get one character, but you have your choice of all 26 letters plus the digits 0-9 and a bunch of symbols like "&" and "@."
