Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 10:46PM I've gotten on the Facebook bandwagon and put up a profile. Having passed on the whole MySpace thing because it smacked a bit too much of teen highjinx and creepy stalkers (always a biiig concern of mine), I figured it was the best portal into the social networking madness. Still looking for ways to tweak the sucker and make it dance. 
Tuesday, June 19, 2007 at 9:14AM Chicken, in all its delicious forms, has been dominating my life lately. Our entire house smells like a certain chicken roaster after we tried out the rotisserie function on our new oven. The results were quite satisfying.
I'm a big fan of the guys behind Revision3 these days, and perhaps my favorite among their many fine web shows in Control-Alt-Chicken. See, there is the other chicken reference. The show, with its "cooking for the clueless" theme, is hosted by Alex Albrecht, who also co-hosts Diggnation and The Totally Rad Show over at Revision3.
More Josh pics up in my Picasa album. Here are a couple of my favorites.

My favorite part of the Qu Yuan myth when his adoring followers throw rice into the river in an attempt to keep the fish from devouring his body.

If the the toxic sludge doesn't get you, just wait for the carnivorous fish and the rice throwing villagers. You're doomed either way.
