New Food Review! Swiss Pudding!

As I spend my time here in Germany, I have been trying new foods and flavors.  For breakfast today I had some Griess Töpfli,  looked it up and it appears to be a pudding made form semolina (same thing in spaghetti) and milk, this type had apple and cinn. flavor.  Vegetarian but does have Gluten.  I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.  The taste is fine, a little bland, but it does not smell so good and made me gag when I tried to swallow (same thing happens when I eat dim sum....) but not too bad on the calories, this breakfast only has 153 calories.  The brand I had was Emmi if you want to try. Until next time! Chow!

Permaculture

So how would you like to spend less at the grocery store?  Have a cool beautiful place to spend summer afternoons?  and Support the environment?  Given any thought to Permaculture? Well I never heard of the word before today but I always had a little of it in the back of my mind but these people have taken it to the next level.  Turning a regular backyard or field into a garden ecosystem that mimics that of a  forest, but produces food.   Symbiotic relationships between plants and animals are stressed and dependence of fossil fuels and industry are stressed.   Here is the link to a great documentary about with the man who got it all started: http://www.documentarywire.com/permaculture.  and here is the wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture.    Think about our world, we all know we need a new way of thinking and living to save the Earth that we live on.

Pimped out Mac!

Hello All!

I've been having so much fun with all the free time I've had lately that I've pimped out my macbook completely,  here check out the screen shot:

 (Finder, Preview, Dashboard, App. Cleaner, Sys. Pref., VLC, imovie, itunes, Bittorrent, Firefox, Time Machine, Skype, Quicktime, Safari, Dvd player, Neooffice, automator, icursor, iphoto, daisydisk, pinter, and trash(empty is a closed chest)and eject is a skull)

So I used "Dock Switcher" to change the dock.  "Candy Bar" to change the icons, and icursor  to get that sparkling purple effect for my pointer.  Found all these programs and icons for free just with a little searching on some blogs. I named a lot of programs up there but my faves are VLC, App. Cleaner, Neo office, and daisydisk.  For those who haven't heard of them.  VLC is a great program that will play almost any kind of media, also can repair bad files, and can circumvent region codes. App. Cleaner, is awesome on macs cause it hunts down all associated files and erases them too.  Neooffice is an open office program for mac and is FREE!  way better than paying for micro office, and is quite comparable. Lastly daisydisk, helps you see how much space you have on you hard drive(s) and tells you what already have (very pretty program too).  Until next time!

MAC OSX Built in Speakers aren't working? But the headphones are?

Hello,

So I had a little problem earlier with my Macbook. The sound wasn't working and it showed and "x" and a full sound bar. Well I went to look up what it was and found not posts except that someone said their head phones worked, so I plugged mine in and vala! sound, but wait when I pull them out there goes the sound again. Thankfully I don't like sunlight so it was dark and I perchanced to see a red light coming out of the headphone jack, hum ahaa sensor! So I just blew it out with a can of air duster and "poof" the sound was back on. So just thought I'd post just in case anyone else comes across the same problem!


Awe, speaking of my macbook, hear is a video that I made using all the cool features of imovie '09. Enjoy!
