I know I’m a dork but I love seeing graphs like this:

Verizon makes graphs of where you’ve made your cell phone calls from. It is cool to see where you’ve been and for what time periods. Without knowing the specifics.

I like data visualizations like this – it is general enough that it tells you something cool, but non-specific enough where I don’t feel violated by the amount of information that Verizon stores on my usage.

Last night Chef Sang came over and gave us some sushi lessons. Awesome!

From Sushi Party

We had a romantic date night. I made steaks with a special dry rub, along with Corn, Asparagus, and marinated green peppers, grape tomatoes, and garlic. The dry rub was made with Anecho Chile powder, Paprika, Kosher Salt, Pepper, Cumin, and garlic powder. Smoky and SPICY!

Cutting carbs out of your diet really works. My good friend Beej Das has stopped eating carbs entirely and has lost about 30 pounds. He is my height. He looks great now. I’ve been trying to find ways to cut carbs out of my diet too, but damn I love me some good bread and pasta.

Check this out: replace your morning toast with a pita bread. It tastes good (my pita bread has high fructose corn syrup ! Yummy) and has a fraction of the carbs of two slices of toast.

My Morning Eggs

The Pita Bread makes a wonderful lid to help the eggs cook faster. Remember your Physics 103: Thermodynamics? The Pita heats up and keeps the hot air below it to cook the eggs. It also avoids folding the pita to fit it into a toaster oven.

A little butter, a little pepper, and voila! Delicious low(er) carb breakfast!
