When I finally have a dog, I'm going whistle that tune when I'm calling him in for dinner or play time.

Does anyone know what NVIDIA graphic drivers are? I didn't. But apparently when they stop working, your computer will crash in the middle of a beautiful, sunny day while you are uploading all your camera's food photos. Good times.

To all the dads out there, and to those who are not longer with us, Happy Father's Day! My dad was french, so when we moved here it took him a while to grasp the concept of having an entire day, aside from his birthday, dedicated to him.

Slowly, very slowly, I'm beginning to feel more comfortable working with yeast. I'm not quite there yet, but at least no inanimate objects were harmed during this recipe.
