I really need to do a gallery of the dishes I’ve whipped up over the last few months, but in the meantime: Is this not the sexiest thing you have ever seen?

Ingredients: Three eggs, cheddar cheese, red pepper, deli turkey, tomato, red onion. Harris Teeter's black bean and white corn salsa on the side.

Slowly started learning to cook in 2011, and this is the first omelette I’ve ever attempted. Hat tip to this YouTube video that made it happen.

My apartment is about 350 square feet. It’s pretty small, but not compared to these new-age lofts in downtown Vancouver.

This isn’t the most novel idea today, but it sure would have been in the early ’90s:

A lifestream is a way of organizing digital objects—photos, emails, documents, Web links, music—in a time-ordered series. A timeline, in essence, that extends into the past but also the future (with appointments, to-do lists, etc.).

The issue these streams will have to address is that while time is one excellent way of organizing information, it’s not the only one. For example, I wouldn’t want my emails just thrown together with incoming tweets, because I need my emails to stand out. All data are not created equal, and organizational needs are fluid. The all-encompassing timeline only works if I can rearrange it and sort by some other factor whenever I need to.
