August Cupcakes: Orange-Almond
A month or so ago, when I posted the recipe for the Cardamom Half-Dips, I mentioned the bakery that was across the street from the church I went to before I... well, stopped going to church. This bakery was the Prolific Oven, and aside from the half-dipped cookies, the other two pastries that I particularly remember getting there were sticky buns ( Read more... ) -
Week 34 of Sketches: Purple Vines
I am absolutely wiped out after this last week's conference, so today you just get a simple, whimsical sketch that sprouted (ha) from messing around with the path averaging and joining tools in Illustrator.

Week 33 of Sketches: MUFA 2010
I feel like I can't really let the summer end without some sort of homage to frisbee in this series of sketches, and since today was the summer finals party (great game from the competitive league teams, by the way!), today's as good a day as any.

Week 32 of Sketches: Road Not Taken
I don't have too much of a story behind this week's sketch; it's just something I ended up with after playing around with my fine-line drawing pens this morning:

Postcards from Maine
I don't have my card reader, but I figured I'd use my cellphone camera to give you all a quick "postcard" from Maine.
This conference is turning out to be a lot of fun (we were referring to it as "summer camp for nerds"), with some excellent science talks and awesome people. I've managed to meet and talk with most of the people I wanted to meet ( Read more... ) -
Week 31 of Sketches: The Known World
Hi from Maine! I'm here, after an incredibly uneventful day of travel (possibly one of the first positive experiences I've had flying United in recent memory, actually, but that's neither here nor there). Anyway, since I was thinking about travel yesterday when I started sketching, today's offering is related to travel and the places I've been:

Empty
Well, now that I finally have internet access set up at my new apartment, I guess I might as well let you know that I did finally make it through all of the packing and such, both in the lab and in the apartment. The lab looks incredibly empty and sterile:

Week 30 of Sketches: A Capitol Line
I've been procrastinating this weekend, both about doing this week's sketch and about packing and such (I spent a couple of hours working on a fun little php project yesterday, for example; you might know what it is if you saw my facebook or google talk status). Or rather, the procrastinating has mostly been targeted at the packing, which is ( Read more... ) -
Random Notes re. recipes, new layout, and packing, etc.
By the way - I meant to mention this yesterday, but forgot...
If you're wondering why I've posted recipes for yesterday's cookies and the last two sets of cupcakes: no, I'm not trying to turn this into yet another foodie/baking/whatever blog. There are plenty of those online already, and I'll be happy to tell you what my favorites are if you're ( Read more... )
