Top 10 Characteristics of a Great WordPress Plugin | Weblog Tools Collection.
I was just looking for some “top 10″ type blog tools. Here’s some things to consider as you develop your set.
I saw this book at our local libray and wondered what could be so compelling about a book for kitchen knives?
A couple weeks later, I took the book home with me. Wow, this sort of book is way overdue. What a great addition for amateur cooks and others who want to dispel the mysteries of cutting boards, santoku, steel, sharpening, &c, it’s all there and it’s all good!
Also has a great collection of web links including sites mentioned in the book along with videos, and other links to foodie goddesses like Sara Moulton and Lynne Rossetto Kasper.

A Master’s in Paul-Is-Definitely-Not-Dead – NYTimes.com.
Wow, a Master’s degree. Wonder what the post-graduate employment opportunites are like:)
I remember when I was in Mr McLaughlin’s lit class during 7th grade. We were supposed to analyze/discuss some poetry. My choice was I Am the Walrus. I think the teacher with the long hair listening to me stumble on about the song must have thought it all funny…
Surfacing – In Austin, Vinyl Records are Still Vital – NYTimes.com.
Worth a view just to see what it was like back then to scrounge through bins of vinyl looking for that one nugget, that one needle in a haystack.
Five important security apps for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows – Ars Technica.
I saw this on ArsTechnica a while back and trusted that I could search it out when needed. For some reason, their re-design and search tool couldn’t bring it out so I needed to Google their web space to find this link/report.

E Street Band Didn’t Play Live at the Super Bowl, OMG | Pitchfork.
OK, put down the guacomole and chips and check out some good comments on Bruce’s Super Bowl show. Nice.
For 12 minutes, for the NFL, with no flexibility for time, to attempt to appeal to many… I thought it was excellent! Bruce sliding into the end of the stage left made me LOL!
The game was great, too! I guess I was the only one concerned about the Steelers’ defensive movement before the snap prior to the 100-yard INT return for a TD. Reminded me of the New England Patriots and their past video studies, ahem. I was kinda hoping the review would’ve occurred at the line of scrimmage but IANA real sports fan. That movement prior to the snap also caught my eye at 1-2 earlier points in the game.
Me, suspicious? heh
Cramps Frontman Lux Interior R.I.P. | Pitchfork.
Nice write-up about the Cramps with some group history. Videos are certainly worth a look.
Getting To The Root Of The Great Cilantro Divide : NPR.
Uh, okay, you mean there are people out there who don’t consider cilantro the king of herbs??!!
So these super-tasters are the reason that I go to Tex-Mex restaurant and someone puts of dish of something called “salsa” at my plate and there is nothing green in the bowl. No cilantro, no jalapeño, just watered-down tomatoes. Hideous.
How can you make salsa without cilantro?
The Bacon Explosion – Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog. – NYTimes.com.
As I was recently writing about…seems that bacon-wrapped anything is becoming way over-the-top popular these days.
Never in my life have I ever imagined such a foodie item!!
