Eye of a Night Time God?
This is what was available in the sky last night. While I’m sure my pics don’t do it justice, if you saw it you really got the best view. For everyone else, here you go!
Dave Navarro Made Me Record This ;)
And I just finished eating all of it. Yummy is an understatement!
Arizona Blue Moon
Some really interesting photos of tonights blue moon from my back porch, here in Cottonwood, AZ. Enjoy!
Ebay Partner Captcha: Are You Kidding?
WTF? I’ve always been a big supporter of using CAPTCHA’s to reduce spam and increase security. I even try to use reCAPTCHA as much as I can, mostly because there is an actual cause behind them.
But as you can see with this quick screen grab from a password reset inside the Ebay Partners network, I feel like I’m writing a damn book just to get them to do something for me.
YIKES!! Next I’ll have to re-type a complete book from the Bible! (or any other holy book of scriptures!)
Crazy stuff. Loco indeed!
Got Wave Invites? Right Here, Right Now!
Okay. You know you want to get in on the Google Wave thing. Right? Well, if you’re finding it hard to get an invite (though I find that hard to imagine!) you can get them here. I’ve just noticed that I have 25 sitting around waiting to be doled out.
What do you have to do? Not a lot. Really. Okay. There’s no real requirement other than leaving a comment (and obviously filling in your email address which only I’ll be able to see.) I’ll send out the first 25 respondents the invite through Google’s Wave invite system (which looks like this since you probably don’t know 
):
Now, if you were so inclined and wanted to also get in on the new video service beta invites from Vidli.com, click here and fill out their three box form.
Easy Peasey!
They are hiring a new Social Media person to help with their launch of what seems like an amazing video licensing and monetization service that will allow anyone to easily monetize uploaded online videos. If nothing else, you’ll want an early invitation to check them out. And you can get that now!
Thanks for your support. RSS subscriptions are always a welcome gift from all of you as well
Pie Crust Protector vs. Pie Shields
Christmas dinner was fantastic. Mom’s “new” technique of cooking the turkey outside of the oven in a giant slow cooker creates the most moist and amazingly good meat ever. We do put it into the oven as soon as the thingy pops out telling us it’s ready inside.
While its skin is browning we pop in some dinner rolls and really work the heck out of that conventional oven.
This holiday season, between Thanksgiving and Christmas pie baking I helped mom to try and keep those crusts from burning. As you probably know just like we do, you’re supposed to cover them with foil.
Well, if you’ve attempted this feat of magic, you know how tough it can be. I thought I’d be slick this year and break tooth picks in half and joust the overlapping pieces of foil into the edge of the crust.
And to be fair, that actually worked rather well. Except for one thing. I discovered, via some online research that I wasn’t supposed to press the foil down on the crusts. Well, it does make a difference.
So, I thought I’d invent the Pie Crust Protector. Of course, as great as this idea is, someone’s already done it. Pie Shields they’re known as. Oh well.
But as you can see by the embedded Amazon link above, they are readily available and rather inexpensive. I’m ordering 2 of them as soon as I’m done with this post. Having them might just make me want to delve deeper into baking homemade pies.
Which reminds me, I need to start posting up about my bread machine adventures. Let me tell you a little sneak peak: I am a damned good (bread machine) baker! More on that soon!
