Eeep. When pulled up, it looks cute, but over the face, it looks like the stuff of nightmares.

Okay, sorry for three links from the same site, but I just had to blog this one: “Imitation of nature” crab-avocado salad. This, I’m sort of thinking I may want to try, if I can figure out how to deal with the whole final unshelling. (click through for the link to the site)
Sadly, I am far too lazy to do this, and also, I really would worry about the filling cooking properly in my oven, because after all, you can’t check it visually under those circumstances.
All of a sudden Tumblr started coming out with all of these new features. I’m kind of interested to see what they do next; I hope they soup up the private groups thing soon. It has a lot of potential as a feature, and I hear it is widely used (by whom, I don’t know).
Anyway I updated my layout. Modified Penguin Classics. ^_^

Flat out fascinating story about genes and behavior: it turns out that there’s some use for seemingly “maladaptive” behaviorally related genes. The article seems to imply that the social environment (human society) has caused these genes to come into being.
One thing which especially interests me about this kind of research are the hints that these genes (which create, in a way, what modern humanity is) were relatively recent, and perhaps even post-dated anatomical modernity, so if you traveled back in time, you’d meet people who looked like modern people, yet were different internally. After all, turning from hominid into modern homo sapiens didn’t happen in one fell swoop, but gradually, over time.
A guide that only tackles the top restaurants is to me somewhat superfluous. After a certain level you know you won’t be served dog food; what I find more useful are the guides to mid-range and cheap eateries. Because of this, recently I’ve been checking out Yelp.com a lot, and even been writing some reviews.
Admittedly, this is mass-market, not hard-back, but it is less than I thought it would be for a best seller.
This is amusing in the same way it is amusing when real news seems to be imitating the Onion. Interpreting the video as about Lady Gaga’s satanic initiation into the inner circles of the music industry comes off as a pedestrian, almost banal reading.
