The last 10 songs I listened to, that comes from last.fm a free music service that tracks the music you play and is able to do many things.  It has an online radio portion to it that many people swear by, even over Pandora.  However, my favorite part is that by tracking your songs it is able to give you recommendations based on what other people listening to the same music also like.

So if I’m going to renew my hosting I’m gonna need to get more use out of it that just hosting photos like I have been for the last couple months.  I’ve got several things to write about so check back soon.

For the past month or so sleeping has replaced any time I would have spent blogging.  Look for more posts soon.

Since twitter is able to make use of utf-8 characters, and since utf-8 contains characters for all of the standard chess peices, and since and 8×8 board is only 64 characters, why couldn’t you play chess via twitter?  Well guess what, you can!

copy and paste into a new tweet, put a tab between each character, make your first move, and @reply it to a friend to play.  I couldn’t figure out how to keep the tabs, wordpress converted them all to multiple spaces.

but apparently twitter doesn’t like new lines as much as tweetie hopes it would…

Back from Mexico and I have a post spring break resolution to blog more.  Things to come include a couple awesome youtube video’s I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks. A song that I’ve been listening to nonstop for the past month.  A review of the resort I stayed at and maybe some other blog posts about my adventures in Mexico.  Some more cooking hopefully.  Eventually I’d like to get some writing and pictures up of some projects I’ve been working on.  Yea that’s about it, I’d post a picture to show off my awesome tan lines, but my giant puffy infected eye is not pretty.

I can finally do something useful with my homemade lasers!  Although I should probably do some tests with chicken, or schnitzel like in the video before I try any sort of human or live animal testing…  [Gizmodo]

So after making my “Heart Attack Cheeseburger Pizza” I’ve been thinking of what to make next.  Up until today I’d been set on the Arby’s pizza, roast beef, curly fries, arby’s sauce, etc.  But then I came across this site and the Arby’s pizza may have to go on hold until after I make everything on it, except for the deep fried mar’s bar, that’s just gross.

um so I don’t know how to tell you guys, but um, I sorta actually really like this.  Actually I’ve liked Lily Allen for a while and if you haven’t heard her old album you definately need to check it out.

Crust is 2.5 cups flour, 1 packet yeast, some salt, and 2 tbs butter

brushed with olive oil and garlic in the oven at 45o for about 8min

1 can tomato sauce with some italian seasoning and some extra oregano added

1 lb ground beef browned then fried some more with half an onion

then some sliced pickles

6 kraft singles torn up into small pieces and scattered

2 large mcdonalds fries

and finally

2 cups of mozzarella cheese

Just under 15min at 450 could have gone the whole 15

all inspired by this masterpiece
