Once again, life intercedes

And has prevented me from being the prolific poster that procures people's precious peeks. Um. Sorry 'bout that.   On the gadget front, I've been issues a new phone at work.  I now carry the Verizon iPhone 4. I know. i'm sorry too. I want, want, wanted a Droid Bionic, but they've been delayed once again, and in the interest of supporting my fellow employees, and being the impatient bugger I am, I went with the iPhone.

I like the camera.  I will give it that.  The rest is going to take a bit of getting used to. The pictures in this post were all taken with the new phone, and edited/processed on the phone.  I likey the lomo. We'll have to talk more about that soon.

Other news?  I've started the third batch of meat, the second one only lasting long enough to completely dry before it was completely consumed.  Still playing with variables.  Still looking for that shining golden moment. The variables under observation this time are cut of meat, the cut of the slice itself (across the grain, with the grain or on the bias.) and ratio of meat to brine.

I've not yet killed myself on the longboard, although my adventures in riding have been short, tame, and relatively slow.  Kiddo had a mishap a couple weeks ago, and got her wheels back this past weekend, so we decided to learn to inline skate. She's getting good, and fast.  Woo for new extreme sports!
