Commute
8:11 a.m., two-thirds of the way through my morning commute, and it was already 82 degrees. Ugh.

Food
Saw a Globe Trekker episode (Tunisia) where the host ate leblebi, a local street food. It looked really good; I’m going to have to try it. It was:
old bread, torn into chunks
chickpeas
chile sauce/harissa
cumin
salt
lemon juice
capers
tuna fish
a raw or very soft-boiled egg
Stir together to make a kind of stew.
Wiki suggests other ingredients can include vinegar, olive oil,...

Teeth
Babby’s second tooth is coming in, right next to the first one!
Also, he’s been crawling for about a week now, and he’s crazy fast! No more setting him on the bed while we do stuff, at least not while he’s awake. We can set him out in the living room, and he’ll just zoom everywhere!
Time for babyproofing.
Missing e, redux
‘kay, so Meg suggests it was Tumblr’s issue, not Missing e, and that all that “error” stuff was just coincidence. I’ve just re-enabled Missing e, so…
Add-Ons
Yup, that was it. Weird.
Add-Ons
Hmm. Installed the “Missing e” thing-y this morning, and since then I haven’t been able to post or reblog anything. Just get an error message.
Tried disabling the Missing e add-on and this is a test to see if it worked.
Tumblr Issues
Hmm. Installed “Missing e” this morning, and since then, I haven’t been able to upload photos to Tumblr. Or to reblog photos. This is a test to see if it’ll let me post text.

This is a collection of really interesting little animations. The later ones are more interesting than the early looped .gifs.

TWRG Video →
Lair of the TWRG (as in “Tuareg”) is an Apogaea theme camp with a North Africa/Middle Eastern theme. This was the looping video that was playing on the screen at the camp. Weird. Eerie. Awesome. It reminds me a lot of the early Subgenius videos. Made by Pete (Terfuckin) Thomas; posted by Gindi and Milkman.

Archive
Does anyone else occasionally visit their Tumblr archive and be like, “Damn, I really like all the stuff I’ve posted?
Sometimes I’ll do this when the rest of the Internet bores me.

Beer Measurement
Aha! The degree thing in Czech beers is the Plato scale, and indicates “density of beer wort in terms of percentage of extract by weight.” Um, means little to me, but I think the general “the higher the number, the stronger the beer” maxim applies.
Thanks, Wikipedia!

Travel Story: Czech Beer
Czechs love their beer. And the beer there is very, very good. (And cheap, by our standards. When I was there a half-liter glass would be about $.30 in my city). I didn’t even drink beer before I got to CZ. I started there just because it was so good. (And the cheapest thing you could order.)
In addition to the big national breweries, any city of any size (and some towns) had its own...

Cigarettes
So apparently the new warning labels on cigarette boxes are gruesome, or something.
My idea, for the next generation of warning labels? Use one of those microchip/mini-speaker combinations like they have in greeting cards, and every time you open the cigarette box, you get the sound of an 77-year-old with emphysema coughing out a lung…

Quiz
What the fuck is up with all these people following me, and when you see their Tumblr, it’s all “Take the Tumblr Quiz!”? I assume it’s all spam, and I block them in my followers, but does anyone know anything about it, like what kind of a scam it is?
Nothing on the Help section, a quick Google shows only other Tumblrs asking the same thing. Tumblr could make its [real]...

Stuff to Buy
I want to go ahead and get a second beehive, so that we can get it ready over the winter. Buying it locally looks like about $210 assembled or $183 build-it-myself. This way I can get it assembled and ready and everything over the winter, ready for new bees in spring…
If they weren’t so expensive, I’d almost like to have another empty hive available, just in case one of our...

Sleeping with Babby
I understand that it’s not for everyone, but I and Rocky are really happy co-sleeping with the baby between us. There are some disadvantages, but I think they’re outweighed by the advantages. For instance, when he’s hungry, he just kind of turns to his left and there’s Mommy. Sometimes he doesn’t even wake up completely for this, nor does Rocky. Compare this with the...
