Learn From My Mistakes™: So You Want To Be A Success
A friend and former coworker of mine is venturing into business for himself: a “have IA – will travel” enterprise, if you will. He’s enjoyed my past entries about freelance and has mentioned (more than once) that we should talk more over drinks sometime – code for “I want to pick your brain” – as [...]
Vegan waffles that don’t suck
Today I awoke with a craving for waffles. And tho’ I loves me some Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero for all their vegan cookbooks & recipes, I wanted waffles that didn’t require ground flax seeds or pumpkin purée. We had a container of soy yogurt in the refrigerator and it makes a great substitution for [...]
Happy New Year!
Like every New Year, I like to start the duration of winter with a music mix for friends. I never thought so many of my friends would look forward to my Winter Mix but look forward they do. My 2010 Winter Mix is an eclectic journey through classics and emerging artists, 60 tracks in all. If there [...]

Fresh Feeling
When I was eight years old my mom gave me and my two younger siblings a movie option: we could either see Disney’s re-release of Bambi, or we could see Halloween III: Season of the Witch. We jumped up and down chanting the latter option like we children were witches dancing around a bonfire. Then [...]

Vegan Betty
This is my second attempt at baking bread. Before I had a chance to photograph my first attempt, Justin was already in the kitchen with a bread knife making quick work of the loaf I baked in a proper loaf pan. These loaves were permitted to sit on a cool rack long enough for me [...]
Dear Maine
The idea of legalized marriage for gay and lesbian couples offends your sensitivities. Know what offends my sensitivities?
People who wear UGGs and Crocs.
People that can’t spell.
People that can’t tell the difference between “your” and “you’re”
Hipsters. Fucking hipsters.
Corporate personhood.
You claim that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. Fine. Have your sacred fucking [...]

Food Bites No. 18: Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sorry for the lack of recipes, I was busy redesigning my website. You know how those things can be. And, please, don’t even get me started on Google Analytics failing on W3C validation. Jesus.
As much as we use Vegan with a Vengeance and The Veganomicon in the kitchen, I can’t say I’m a fan of their [...]

Designer, Developer… Ambassador?
We interrupt VeganMoFo to address a question I was sent regarding payment after completing a project without having a contract.
What sucks most about this type of situation is that you can end up looking like the bad guy if you don’t resolve the matter in a diplomatic fashion. Especially when dealing with companies that do [...]

Food Bites No. 17: Bánh mì
One of the best things about living in Seattle is the Vietnamese culture. Unlike Americanized “Chinese” food, Vietnamese dishes rely heavily on fresh vegetables and herbs. One of my favorite Vietnamese classics is bánh mì, a baguette sammich filled with fried tofu, sliced jalapeño peppers, spears of cucumber and pickled daikon radish & carrots, and [...]

Food Bites No. 16: Blub
A couple years ago when I visited Milan, Italy I dined at the restaurant Joia where I sampled some of the most inventive vegan meals I’ve ever experienced. It’s a shame, really, that I had to travel to another continent just to enjoy a vegan meal that celebrates vegetables rather than replicate a meat dish. But [...]
