Neat!

I'm not entirely sure how Personas works but it's essentially a generator that color codes your web presence. It's totally wild watching it scan the web for instances of -- you. I pushed the button a couple times and got several results but ended up reading over and over a quip from my hometown paper, "Speaking of good leaders, Senior Becky Lettenberger is the Vikings' third tri-captain." Senior. In high school. When I played softball. A whole lifetime ago. WEIRD. Also weird is what these colors stand for... online, fame, sports, management, committees, medicine...illegal??religious? religion? what does that even mean?!

Smitten Pics

©smittenkitchen.com

I've been obsessed with the food pics found on Smitten Kitchen and Sprouted Kitchen. They are simple, straightforward, and for the most part don't over use insanely shallow depth of field so typical in food blogging these days. And the food, ugh! the food looks amazing, it drives me nuts! How! how! So I snooped until I caught a glimpse of the set up in the reflection of this bowl.

You see the key here, and what I lack in my culinary life, is light. If I could spend all morning making that next great delicious thing and prop it up next to that perfect morning light window maybe I too could take wonderful food pictures. But in reality, I tend to stay up way too late on a weeknight with my favorite red pot and badass food processor. So when it comes to showing off my culinary exploits I'm left with only the oven light at my disposal and perpetually crummy frames.

Oh, how I envy you ladies.

It's still February... right?

Mouse Tracking

This is a little more than an hours worth of my cursor movement recorded using "mouse pointer track." I found that for the first ten minutes I was really aware of my mouse movements but after awhile forgot about the tracker. The minimalist and graphic nature of it is really appealing but I wonder if it makes me seem sort of crazy... hmm

School is canceled, work is canceled, Virginia is in a state of emergency and as of now, just a few flurries... oh DC. I spent 50min in line at Safeway last night which allowed me ample time to survey my fellow dc-ites purchases: economy sized margarine, 2lb bag of sugar, three loaves of bread, 5 juice cartons, Funyuns, raw shrimp, and of course plenty of booze.
