My “famous” salmon. Very easy, very tasty. Recipe is designed for a contact grill (i.e. Foreman Grill), but can be cooked however you usually cook fish.
Serves: 4 • Prep time: Cook time: Difficulty: Easy!
Recipe: Pork Adobo
Adobo is a very popular cooking process indigenous to the Philippines. There are as many varieties of this recipe as there are people cooking them. This is mine for pork at the moment.

Go with the (Amazon) Flow
Amazon.com and subsidiary-of-search A9.com (remember them from your toolbar?) today announced Flow Powered by Amazon. Even their own marketing people don’t want to keep calling it that, so.. Flow is an augmented reality app that scans and recognizes everything from books and DVDs to packaged electronics and toys – and then digs up product information about the items from Amazon’s catalog. Thinly disguised marketing, yes, but also pretty nifty and useful in practice. And it’s free.
Go Climb a Tower
I’m usually ok with heights, as long as I’m attached to something or behind a railing. But this insane video taken by a camera mounted on the hard hat of an antenna tower technician makes my heart race every time I watch it.
I can’t stop watching it!
Lady Gaga for $0.99 Again – “This Time We’re Ready”
From the Amazon newswire this morning:
SEATTLE, May 26, 2011 — Amazon.com today announced it will offer a repeat of Monday’s blockbuster Gold Box Deal of the Day: customers can purchase the Lady Gaga “Born This Way” MP3 album today for $0.99. Upon release, the album immediately shot to number one on Amazon’s bestselling MP3 albums list and has remained in the top spot since.
O’Reilly “HTML5: Up and Running”
HTML5 is the latest “big deal” in web development, and for good reason. It allows us to build interactive websites without the need for add-ons like Adobe Flash. But it’s also the foundation of a whole new class of deliverables like iOS apps, iTunes LP, iTunes Extras, and iAds. And while those are all Apple-related right now, there’s no reason they can’t be used everywhere once IE9 ships. The downside is that HTML5 is not complete, and it won’t be for a long time. But what most people think of as HTML5 is actually a combination of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Right now. While you can find an endless supply of books for each, none has yet covered the new context of manipulating DOM elements (or even explaining DOM elements), the canvas, local storage and all the other new goodies.
Mind the Mix: Sway Penala, I’m A Wreck
I completed a song mix-down a few weeks ago, and it was slightly out of the norm. For one thing, R&B Pop is not my typical genre, though the instrumentation and general formula are very similar to the Electronic Dance I’m usually generating. The real challenge here was the very quick deadline. Who can resist a good challenge? In hindsight, it was an interesting episode of setting priorities and calling on experience. Here’s how I succeeded and where I may have failed.
“I’m A Wreck” was produced by JP “The Beat Digga” Nebres (Pinay, DnH) and performer Sway Peñala (American Idol top 24, season 5) for Sway’s debut album, My Story (Amazon, iTunes), released on 18 May 2010. The instrumentation, the recording, and the musical arrangements were done. My job was to take all of those pieces and make them sound like a song.
