Dear Tumblr, Fuck yourself.
I didn’t enter my password on another site.
The only possible “security” issue was your own motherfucking piece of shit Android application.
I don’t give a motherfucking hell if I’ve used my password previously. It’s actually my fucking choice - insofar as I do not have access to any of your data - whether I should reuse a password.

Proximity
One of the best strategy/board games I’ve ever played, developed maybe a decade ago. I hadn’t thought of it in a while, but I just had a lull between turns in WWF games and thought how cool it would be if there were (or were to be) a version of Proximity for mobile. It was developed and got moderate exposure as a Flash-based game, so obviously it needed to be updated to support the platform(s) and...

In his autobiography LBJ looked back on his decision to press for the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the political and personal price he had paid.
“Just as the judge had reacted to my statement personally, so many people who had stood by me for so many years decided I was ‘talking about them’ when I decried injustice and bigotry in America. Some of them believed I had let them down,...

Whoopsie-daisy
I was drawing a blank on dinner tonight when I remembered I’d made some rich and creamy goat cheese polenta for breakfast the other day and still had some left. I decided I’d slice it, fry it up to get some dark, sweet caramelization on the surface, and top it with a bag of leftover tongue bolognese from the freezer (I have a bunch left from my last big batch).
I took the container...

Lentil pilaf
My friend mentioned she’d had black beans and rice yesterday and that sounded tasty…I didn’t have any black beans on hand, but I did have some lovely red lentils. And some gelatinous pork stock left over from the weekend’s pulled pork. So…
I lightly sweated a fine dice of mirepoix in olive oil with some salt and pepper, then added jasmine rice, red lentils, a few...

THE ALGORISTS →
Often I am asked “Who are the algorists?” Simply put, algorists are artists who create art using algorithmic procedures that include their own algorithms.
I’d have thought they were the tireless people who kept the Internet running and the glaciers glaciating.

Pulled pork and slaw
Cooking this time of year in PHX can be a bear. Even grilling is rough in the evenings because my grill is on the west side of the house. So either we eat out a lot, or I figure out ways to prep enough food on the weekend or cook on weeknights without heating up the house too much. This is a *great* application for sous vide.
Brined pork overnight in 10% salt/3% sugar with a cinnamon stick as an...
