CookOrDie spreads!

I started to follow your example: I document my more daring cooking adventures on my blog: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/utis/2004-06-26 Scroll down to "Cooking". Would it be o.k. for you, if I am going to change the category's name to "CookOrDie"?

Maybe we should start a group blog, open to all who treat cooking as an adventure. (Probably focusing on 1-2 cooking, or with categories...)

Poi

Just got back from Roxas Boulevard and my first stint as an apprentice arsonist. My sister Kathy did her first public performance of poi with her new Wolf's Revenge fire poi set. Wonderful stuff, although the cable wrapped around her skin at one point, causing a small first-degree burn.

I've more or less figured out the weave pattern, although I still lose it every so often. I'll borrow Kathy's practice poi. Don't think I'll be lighting up any time soon. It's surprisingly fun, though...

Planner faces

Some people find the headings a bit large. Almost intimidating, even. I wonder what reasonable defaults would be...

Class today: Mixed (TeachingReflections)

CS21A: Both the CS and MIS classes appreciated having unit tests that thoroughly checked their work. Almost everyone quickly got the hang of the exercises, although I still need to make sure that a few people review attributes thoroughly. I was happy to hear students laugh when their code passed all the tests.

CS110: Bleah. Floundered in class. Must definitely make up lots of layman's terms explanations.

CS139.3: Gave them two problems to think about and let them talk about solutions. Lots of fun. Must remember to bring harder problems for the advanced students.

My parents are going to get me a wok! Wheeeeeee! <giggle> Ask and you shall receive, indeed...

Can't wait to do more stirfries, fried rice, mixed noodles...
