The Portable Dry Ice Maker. at Hammacher Schlemmer I read about this in the latest issue of Wired Magazine. And if I thought anyone would ever get it for me, I’d put it on my wishlist. But at $500, that’s just not going to happen. In short, it’s a “portable” dry ice maker that cranks… Continue reading The Portable Dry Ice Maker. at Hammacher Schlemmer

I can no longer deny it: I’m in my late 30s
My 39th birthday was yesterday, March 20, 2008. So I guess I can no longer say I’m in the “mid-30s”. We had an awesome birthday party last Saturday night – probably the biggest birthday party I’ve ever had. I think there were about 35 people in attendance. It had a “spaghetti western” theme, so people… Continue reading I can no longer deny it: I’m in my late 30s
debunking an old wives tale about guacamole
Have you heard that putting the pit (seed) of a fresh avocado into a bowl of guacamole will help keep it fresher longer? Well, it turns out to not be true. It’s just an urban legend or old wives tale. I couldn’t believe that, because I had done the same thing myself for years and… Continue reading debunking an old wives tale about guacamole

Another Day, Another Shouarma
OK, in all seriousness, I’m not yet sick of shouarma and falafel sandwiches. But I just got back from dinner, and decided I wanted something smaller than the feasts I’ve been getting wherever I go out for meals here in Israel. I found one of the million or so little shouwarma and falafel shacks around… Continue reading Another Day, Another Shouarma
first report from Israel
As I write this, it’s 8:20 PM on Tuesday October 9. I’m in my hotel room in Tel Aviv, and am spending a much needed quiet evening at “home” tonight. I just got to my room after having supper. My original goal was to write something of a daily travel journal, but this is my… Continue reading first report from Israel
we’re back from Fort Lauderdale
Beth and I turned our 3-day Labor Day weekend into a 5-day vacation, and went to Fort Lauderdale for our 5-year wedding anniversary. We did a bunch of diving and a bunch of eating, as well as a little shopping and one walk on the beach. We dived with Pro Dive, which is one of… Continue reading we’re back from Fort Lauderdale

a good weekend
I’ve had a really good weekend. Busy, but good. Friday night I picked Beth up at a party in Denver (I didn’t really want to go) and then we went out to Limon Peruvian restaurant, which I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while. I had scallops, and they were divine. I love it… Continue reading a good weekend
