- Robert Scoble was kind enough to post his response to my plea. He makes some very positive points and provides another point of view for us to ponder. http://www. |

- I found this quote in a book I'm proofreading today for Distributed Proofreaders (a very worthwhile project; please try it!) called "The Positive School of Criminology." I don't think it appears anywhere else on the internet: "For my part, and so far as my human consciousness is concerned, I prefer to be an immensely perfected ape rather than to be a degenerated and debased Adam. |

- Well, the chocolate-chip cheesecake was served for dessert last evening (Christmas Day). In general, I was very happy with the outcome, but I did learn a few things: 1. I will continue to not pre-cook the crust. The double-thick crust that I made for this cheesecake did come out with a slightly burned look/flavor that was mild but noticable. |
|
|
|
- The last thing I needed to figure out was how to do a nice thick graham cracker crust for my chocolate chip cheesecake. I started with the base recipe from Cook's Illustrated: 1 package regular graham crackers, ground in food processor 1 tablespoon sugar 5 tablespoons butter, melted The only problems with this recipe is that it resulted in a crust that just wan't thick enough. Most people I know really like the taste of the crust, so why use such a skimpy amount? Here is what I did: |

|
|
- In order to get the chocolate chips to not all melt and settle on the bottom of the cheesecake, I made two modificaitons: 1. I used the mini-sized semisweet chocolate chips. 2. Befure use, I lighly coated the chips with baking flour in a zip-loc bag. |

- At the outset of this set of experiements, I had two goals. One was to create a really good low-carb chocolate cheesecake. See the Cheesecake Chronicles entries #1-3 for the story of how I achieved that initial goal. The second goal, however, was to put together a really good chocolate-chip cheesecake using regular ingredients (plenty of sugar). As I did in my low-carb quest, I did want to reduce the original Cook's Illustrated recipe a bit, so I started with the following base: |

|
- Although we now have a low-carb chocolate cheesecake filling that tastes really good, we still needed a replacement for the crust. To start, I used a base recipe taken from the |

- I got an interesting comment on my post about the moral legitimacy of suicide bombers. In that post, I acknowledged that one difficulty in condemning intentional attacks on civilians is the fact that the past century saw an increase in attacks upon civilian populations (or, more appropriately, the use of weapons that were incapable of making any realistic distinctions between combatants and non-combatants). I specifically singled out for discussion the use of the atomic bomb on Japan and the widespread bombings in Germany (which were themselves, of course, preceded by the bombings of England by the Germans). My final conclusion on this issue, however, was as follows: "It may be true that Hiroshima and Nagasaki lacked any particular military significance as possible targets; |

GPXView (Dec 27 2003 15:50 GMT) - GPXView is a useful PocketPC2002 program that will read in gpx files. No need to convert to ebooks or anything. The only downside I have noticed so far is that it is not quite perfect in measuring distances away from "home". Great for keeping a copy of nearest cache's on the pda though. |
