1. Content warning: food, meat

    Upgraded the pizza oven to the new ‘max’ ooni, which is insanely huge, so that I could do this: make an NY style pizza with slices that are the “correct” size, and feed the family one-and-done.

    throwing out the dough to 20" was easy, launching was easy, etc.

    I set my expectations low but am very impressed w/ the first bake even though I dislike the dough I made, mostly nits with the fermentation, and I launched too hot

  3. I was also surprised to find that pest control (I assume) includes cats someone or some group takes care of out there.

  4. 🚶🏽‍♂️

    🏁 what I’m considering Mission Bay and Dogpatch.

    Being from Maryland, I wondered where Maryland Street, once I found, many years ago, that most of the state-named streets, are along the eastern side of the city here. Maryland St. specifically is right on the waterfront. But you can only get to a few blocks at a time between all the industry.

    A map of San Francisco, 101 on the left, 280 in the center, soma to the top and Islay creek along the bottom. All of the visible sections of the Mission, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill, Mission Bay, and Dogpatch streets (and most alleys but not all the weird driveways and private sections of old streets which are slowly returning) are marked with a purple trail.

    10th anniversary: https://www.djfood.org/raiding-the-20th-century-is-10-years-old/

    ‘Raiding the 20th Century’ is 10 years oldIt’s been bought to my attention that the original version of my ‘Raiding The 20th Century’ mix is now 10 years old. Originally a 40 minute guest mix on Eddy Temple-Morris‘ XFM radio show, The Remix, it was my attempt to construct a rough history of ‘cut up’ music in the midst of the mashup up/bastard pop craze. Taking in Music Concrete, avant garde tape composition, radiophonic tape experiments, megamixes, edit kings, scratching, early sampling and of course mash ups, it was one of the most densely mixed and edited things I’ve ever done. When it debuted it was put up on the Ninja Tune site at the time and quickly went a bit viral, causing the server to melt down and the site to grind to a halt by the next morning.

  9. P funny going through bad twenty year old posts on my silly old website converting them to their fourth or fifth text markup language this holiday break and running into so many broken links and embeds.

    onion-on-belt taboos against both hotlinking and mirroring completely made sense at the time, but, now, guess what silly, it’s all gone, we should have hard mirrored entire things we liked, if we liked them, even if only as time capsules
