Breakfast

I really like a good breakfast. One of the children's books I grew up reading was "Nate the Great" in which, the 8-or-so-year-old detective cooks himself pancakes whenever he's got a tough mystery to solve. When my parents decided I was old enough to not burn down the kitchen, I started cooking pancakes, then eggs and potatoes, and then omelets. They're still my favorite, pancakes and omelets, of all foods, I think.

My Saturday morning was great. I'm getting over a cold, so I made some tea; I was half way through this good book, so I read the rest of it; and I cooked a tasty tasty omelet and potatoes. Nom nom nom nom nom nom.

Cats! Specifically this cat.

Pasha: Good cat

Pasha is basically a big hipster. Look at that hat. Look at that nonchalance.
Look at this other picture with the LJ profile-picture-esque profile shot. And look at that snaggle-tooth! He rocks hard, and doesn't care about you. Except that he really does, and is a very nice cat. :-) I like him ok.

USB BUB board!

This may be a silly first post for this new blog, but I just got one of these in the mail two days ago, and it will save me a tiny bit of hassle when connecting Arduino microcontrollers to my computer. I was way more excited than I probably should have been when Paul Badger at moderndevice.com started making these, but I guess I am ok with that. I'm making a new cello effects pedal for my friend Jen, and this will let her use a regular USB cable (well, almost a regular one... a big to small or whatever) to connect to her laptop. I still have to put it together and build the actual pedal and put together the Pd patch, but I still like this a lot! I will post an update about this when I get the pedal done, as I am sure I will like that too. : )
