| The Gourmet Project |
I've been working on a cooking project for a while. I'm preparing photographing and writing about every recipe in The Gourmet Cookbook. Now I'm ready to blog about it. Come watch me drown in butter, attempt to confit my own duck legs, and tackle more than 200 pages of deserts.
Dinner invitations will be forthcoming because I certainly can't eat all of this on my own.

| Pot kills the pain |
I was reading BoingBoing today and was pleased to come across a press release from my very own lab. Gabriella and her student Francis work just down the hall from me. It's kind of cool when wasting time on the internet reminds me what I could be achieving if I didn't waste so much time on the internet.

Anyone interested in seeing Richard Stallman (of GNU / Linux) talk talk about copyright at UQAM on Sunday? Unfortunately I think it's in French.

| Just Remotes |
| As long as Vinny is on the Remote theme, does anyone have suggestions for setting up a remote for a computer? I'm using MythTV and would love to have a remote for watching TV. Does anyone know of a stand alone IR reciever / Remote combo for a computer? |

an exchange I just had in front of the water fountain with a girl from the lab down the hall...
me: hey, how's it going? are your rats happy?
girl: (giggle) they were, but I killed them this morning. I'll be getting some more next week
me: (laughs)
girl: (laughs)
pleasantries are weird in my lab. |

| Survey Time |
My cousin is looking at CEGEPs for next fall. I told him what I thought it was all about, and what I got out of it, but what about you?
1) Did you go to CEGEP?
2) Where?
3) Where you challenged academically?
4) What about socially?
5) Did CEGEP change what you decided to do in University?
6) rate the CEGEP system on a scale of one to ten
(answer key: 1 = 2(+) years of my life I'll never get back, 5 = High school cont'd 10 = I can feel my mind expanding)
