Quick Christmas Pasta
So much ham! I bought 1.5kg of the stuff and we only got through about half of it on the day. Fortunately, I didn’t buy a leg, last time I did that we had ham for a month afterwards. Anyway, here’s a quick recipe from my leftovers:

christmas yumminess
Christmas was a bit of a write-off due to my having caught a yucky cold from work, but I did manage some food prep. Christmas day lunch was fairly simple, mainly cold meats, prawns and salads. Anyway, here was the spread:

Photoshop tries to stop you scanning money
In the huge pile of videos posted to Boing Boing in the last post, I found this story about how photoshop stops you scanning in money because of government petitioning. Well US and EU money at least, they didn’t mention the Australian stuff but it could well be included. So even though there’s plenty of […]

Highlights include the famous Bank of America’s employees’ cover of U2’s One (which came with a cease-and-desist letter from Universal, it’s since been removed from YouTube but you can still watch it here with […]

Some WOW Machinima - The Internet is for Porn
I don’t know why I like machinima so much, must be that hole in my brain but this is quite funny not just by my low standards hopefully. It’s been made with captured footage from World of Warcraft, starring a Tauren (cattle humanoid) and a Troll. The Internet is for Porn:
