Kathryn singing a song with her "headset" on.

Here's a quick recipe for a good salad my dad used to make:

2 - 7 oz. Packages of shell noodles
2 - cans of tuna
1 - 32 oz. jar of Mayo
1 - 21 oz. jar of green olives
4 - hard boiled eggs

Cook the noodles. While the noodles are cooking, mix the tuna with the jar of Majo. Cut up the eggs into bite-size chunks. When the noodles are cooked, run them under cold water to cool them off.

• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 T sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tsp(heaping) baking powder
• 1 cup flour

Beat egg yolks. Add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and milk. Fold in beaten egg whites. Fry in 'quite a bit' of Crisco at 380 degrees in electric frying pan.

I'm so excited! I can now talk on irc, silc, yahoo!, msn, and google talk from one client! (Yes, I am a geek.) I had been running MacIrssi, console-based silc, and Adium, but it was a pain to manage all three programs. Besides, I prefer console-based apps, especially for chat.

Then I found out about this cool software called bitlbee that connects to a bunch of the IM networks. I got that installed on my mac via DarwinPorts, and got xinetd configured for it. Tried it from MacIrssi and it worked like a charm.

So Kathryn had just finished eating breakfast, and she and Michelle were getting ready to head out for the morning (they were going to the zoo). Suddenly, Kathryn said, "When it gets warm, Grandma Carmen and me are going to go to the park and throw rocks." Not sure where that came from, but I think we need to talk to Grandma Carmen about what they do when they're at the park. ;)

Just wanted to note that the pictures in the gallery got reorganized a bit today to make room for my sister Charissa and her husband Erik to post pictures. Hopefully we'll see lots of pictures coming in from those two. :) Of course, I need to tell them how to upload pictures...minor details. But now...to bed! Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Hey all - got some more pictures up for ya! (Click the title of this post for links to the different albums) There's still a rather large queue of pictures to put up - i've been putting it off for a while :(

I want one of these (or maybe two, so I can stack the second and make blocks that stack ;)

Popular Science named Minneapolis the top tech city this year. Reading through the article, I can see why, but I guess I just take it all for granted. No wonder I like it here.

We have an old turntable that we hooked up to our mac via iMic, but it never really worked very well. I'm thinking we should pick up this USB Turntable and just convert everything to mp3.
