i came across this report of Chips-Ahoy cookies filled with Oreo creme (and birthday frosting, and apparently BROWNIES?!). Still haven't gotten any myself, but that's certainly in the plans. Ryan linked reports of a chocolate covered Oreo duplex from South America, in the manner of alfajores, and that also looks pretty worthy (but i think doublestuff would be better). While perusing the wikipedia page for alfajores (they come in a bunch of different varieties), i noticed a link to the page for Murcia, a city in Spain. Something may need to be said about my mild dyslexia that i had to read it several times before i noticed it didn't say 'Murica.
In brief, someone sent their GoPro video camera through a dishwasher wash cycle while recording (via Huff Post). It's surprisingly fascinating for a 4 minute clip. There are a lot of conclusions which one can draw from this. My initial question was about lighting (which is incredibly well done, with " Using a Hero 3. I had two light sources reflecting at different angles. This was my third attempt. The biggest problem I had to overcome was the heat and battery time. ", as reported on the youtube clip.) Another might be that this is as good a advertisement for a GoPro as any crazy extreme sport video. Seriously. Finally, this is also a good reminder about the importance of pre-rinsing your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher; those jets don't look like they're doing a ton.
My Spurs are in the Finals, against the Miami Heat. Miami Heat player LeBron James made comments earlier this week saying that the Spurs don't care for them, " "They don't like us. They don't," LeBron James told news reporters Monday in Miami. " (boohoo, Mr. James). In a reaction article today, i saw the line "The Spurs, whose demeanor and remarks are normally as plain as sandwich bread, were a bit taken aback by James' reaction ", which is a very nice bit of imagery given that the Spurs are just steady-kneeled, supportive athletes. Additionally, in last night's game played in San Antonio, the air conditioning fail in the arena. IT was apparently a circuit breaker issue, and building managers didn't want to reset it in case it also caused the lights and scoreboard to fail, so they left it. Mr. James developed heat cramps in the 4th quarter, and had to quit the game with several minutes left, being carried off the court. This has apparently launched a whole course of something termed "LeBroning", being carried by two friends, with the best article i've seen also featuring Gatorade here. Also, it was a Spurs blow-out, 110-95 points.
i thought this was pretty cool, a bracelet promoting blood donations.
Also, though i managed to spray myself twice with bacterial lysates today in lab while isolating a recombinant protein, my bench was visited by a tiny jumping spider visitor. Totally adorable, and i herded it to a safer place before proceeding.
