		<title>LOST lunch…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…staved off (just barely).
It may have been the DHARMA Initiative Mixed Fruit or the DHARMA Initiative Crackers and Cheese (or a combination of the two), but last week something had my stomach churning worse than an island jumping through space-time. Miss T suggested that I try to get to The Staff for a checkup, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Saturday…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…Miss T and I shared a rare roast beef sandwich at Il Cane Rosso. Later, we headed over to Macworld 2010—sans Apple Inc. but still worth a look-see.

Possibly the most spartan trade show booth I have ever seen.

Microsoft Office, uh, icons were on hand. I might have been able to get a better photo but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sushi recently eaten…</title>

…in Sacramento.
Chef’s sushi mix (above) and a River Cat roll (below) from Miso Japanese Cuisine.

Mmm… sushi.

		<title>LOST fruit…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…now in cans!
Last week Miss T and I snacked on some DHARMA Initiative food items while we watched the LOST season 6 premiere. Nothing fancy, just some DI Crackers and Cheese and DI Mixed Fruit.
If you’d like some DHARMA Initiative Mixed Fruit for tonight’s episode of LOST, making your own may be the only way [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOST returns…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…one last time.
With LOST back on the air—for its final season *sob*—I was inspired to go digging through some of the old periodicals piled up in our station’s storeroom (a.k.a. the garage) for DHARMA Initiative stuff. A 1976 issue of Oceanic’s INflight had a DHARMA Initiative Travel ad which I’ve scanned and posted on Flickr.
As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little LOST crackers…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…and a little LOST cheese.
Sometimes you just want a snack. A small one. Not a sweet—something savory. And, you want to have to use a stick in the preparation of your snack. Yes, a stick. (These may sound like peculiar circumstances, but it comes up more often than you think.)
For those small, savory, need-a-stick snack [...]]]></description>

		<title>Start your LOST day…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…the DHARMA Initiative way!
Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day (you do know that, right?), and, despite being in an indeterminate place and time, life on LOST Island is no different—breakfast is important. So, when wild chicken eggs, boar bacon, and taro-flour bread are in short supply, make sure you [...]]]></description>

		<title>PowerBook G4…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…Thy name is “Titanium.”
In 2001 Apple introduced its Titanium PowerBook G4. It was then, and remains now, my favorite laptop. The PowerBook G4 still wasn’t quite as fast as a desktop Power Mac G4, but it was much, much sexier.
This batch of 2001 Apple ads really only cover two subjects: laptops and DVD authoring. DVD [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOST-fully clean…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…You’re not fully clean, until you’re LOST-fully clean.
And how does one get LOST-fully clean, you ask? By using DHARMA Initiative Soap (like Kate at the Hydra Station above), of course! And, it just so happens we were lucky enough to receive two types of DI soap in our recent PRD (product resupply drop): 4.25 oz [...]]]></description>

		<title>Megahertz…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…from the days before gigahertz.
Another batch of Apple Computer ads from the late, great pages of MacAddict magazine. In the year 2000 we were still running laptops on 400MHz PowerPC G3s and desktops on 500MHz G4s. Just short of ten years later and smartphones—in this case, the iPhone 3G S—are running CPUs at 600MHz. Desktops [...]]]></description>

		<title>No more floppies…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…(of the data storage variety).
More MacAddict-excised Apple ads from the late ’90s. Miss T actually had a Bondi blue iMac—her first computer!








My first laptop was a PowerBook G3 like the one in the thumbnail above. Good times.

		<description><![CDATA[
…Apple ads from the ’90s.
In an effort to create more clear, horizontal spaces in the house, I’ve taken the small step of throwing out a stack of old MacAddict magazines. The stack starts in the late ’90s, at the lowest point of Apple Computer, Inc.’s mindshare and stock price—Steve Jobs had just returned to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>One persimmon…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…two persimmon, three persimmon, four.
My family has a persimmon tree which has, for reasons unknown, produced a bumper crop of fruit this year. Sadly, I’m not a persimmon consumer. For me, a persimmon tree is something more interesting to look at than to eat fruit from:








Fortunately, Miss T enjoys both viewing and eating persimmons.

		<title>Covered-in-chocolate…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…cashew redux.
After November’s Covered-in-Chocolate (CIC) meeting I wondered why my CIC choice, cashews, weren’t better. Our tasting group concluded that the cashews weren’t bad—just not very cashewy. A couple of ideas to bring the cashew flavor “up” included dark chocolate (vs. milk), a thinner chocolate coating, and saltier cashews.
A few weeks later, I came across [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two days in the valley…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
…of Yosemite National Park.
Earlier this month Miss T and I took our first trip to Yosemite National Park. Of the nearly 1200 square miles of the park, we spent our 2 days exploring the 7 square miles of Yosemite Valley. We could probably have spent 2 months in Yosemite Valley alone.
As expected, we shot hundreds [...]]]></description>
