Globe Food Section Fail: Fails to Mention and Link to YouTube Videos
This article in today's Boston Globe G Food Magazine fails to mention that lectures were recorded and are now available on iTunes and YouTube. A first course gets high grades, Harvard’s series brought together foodies, physicists: This fall 13 of the world’s most accomplished chefs made a pilgrimage to the university to hold forth on how the newest food science informs their creations. It was a dream team of speakers from this country and Europe: chefs David Chang, Dan Barber, Jose Andres, Wylie Dufresne; White House pastry chef Bill Yosses; visiting Catalan chef Ferran Adria, and several of his colleagues. The course filled immediately and outside wonks were swooning. For each public lecture, halls and teleconferenced overflow-halls were filled with the eager fooderati (bloggers, academics, chefs, fans). Thousands more tuned in via live Internet video.Here you go: Science & Cooking Public Lectures: Archive of talks by world-class chefs Here's Lecture 1: Speakers: Harold McGee, Ferran Adria (elBulli), José Andrés (minibar by josé andrés, Jaleo, The Bazaar) with commentary/moderation from Professors David Weitz and Michael Brenner (Harvard) posted by Steve at 11:57 AM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

film - man in a blizzard by jamie stuart
An extraordinary film by Jamie Stuart. Not only is it a wonderful evocation of Dziga Vertov's 1929 silent film "Man With a Movie Camera," but consider that it was photographed during the Blizzard of 2010 and edited at lightning speed. via [ Dave Allen ] Roger Ebert's Journal, "Man in a Blizzard," by Jamie Stuart: I shot with my Canon 7D and edited it with Final Cut Pro. Early on, I was able to vary things a little more -- I used macro diopters for the close-ups during the day shots, my portable slider for the dolly shots and also, a 75-300 zoom for the rooftop shots. I was more limited at night because of the weather conditions, so I stuck with my 24mm, 50mm and 85mm -- all of which are manual Nikon lenses. Which meant that in the middle of that maelstrom I was changing lenses, wiping off the lenses and manually focusing/adjusting each shot. Great inspiration to go out and shoot, then edit some video.

Chris Lambton said no to The Bachelor and is dating Peyton Wright
 Photo: Peyton Wright - Courtesy ABC The Boston Globe has a nice article on Chris Lambton from last season's Bachelorette, Real life. In the article Meredith Goldstein says: On a recent afternoon, after visiting the Merc for lunch, Lambton travels around town with Erik on a few end-of-season jobs, raking the last of the fall leaves before the snow starts. Later, Lambton will spend quality time with his girlfriend of several months, a tall, blond woman from Texas. Lambton doesn’t want to disclose who she is — he turned down “The Bachelor’’ so he could fall in love in private — but it’s safe to say that he met her because of his participation on the show.Here, let me Google that for you. Blossoming 'Bachelor' Update: Has Chris Lambton Found Love with Peyton Wright?: Bachelor blogger Reality Steve has made a couple of cryptic comments in his column recently about a possible love connection between Lambton and Bachelor Season 10 contestant Peyton Wright. posted by Steve at 11:49 AM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

The Comcast Xfinity TV App doesn't work with a Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade
 Photo Courtesy Comcast: The Comcast Xfinity TV App The Comcast Xfinity TV App doesn't work with a Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade.  Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade You'd think that early adopters of an advanced user interface would get Xfinity iPad/iPhone App support. You can schedule recordings online for the Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade. What's the difference between using the Comcast Xfinity TV App? Customer support told me that I'd have to downgrade my Comcast DVR, removing the TiVo Upgrade to allow the Comcast Xfinity TV App to work. Seems like a programming issue to me. Can I get some clarification? A timetable? TWITTER UPDATE: When will it work with TiVo? Thanks. RT @ComcastBill: @stevegarfield Correct it does not work with Tivo @stevegarfield I can honestly say I'm not sure. Comcast Chat: Ashley > Is there anything else that I can help you with?

Ikea Minde Mirror Instructions: Why 9 7/8"
What I would like to know, is why the support pieces have to be 9 7/8" inches apart. How about making them 10" apart for easier measurement? And BTW, the top brackets for this wall mirror are awesome, they are spring loaded so it's easy to attach the mirror. From IKEA Fans. posted by Steve at 7:12 PM | link | (2) Join the Discussion

Top Chef All-Stars: Anthony Bourdain Needs to Apologize to Colonoscopies
 In the first episode of this season's Top Chef All-Stars, jusdge Chef Anthony Bourdain says the following when judging a dish: “As I’m eating it, my mind is drifting back fondly to my last colonoscopy. It was that bad.”Video: Video Courtesy Top Chef: All-Stars Bravo TV I was shocked when I heard this. Shocked! Cancer screening is not something to joke about. Especially colonoscopies, which have a bad rap as something painful, which leads to many not getting this important procedure. Anthony Bourdain needs to apologize to colonoscopies. On his blog he blames gin and apologizes to Fabio, Sorta: I feel bad about beating up on Fabio. Maybe I'm losing my edge. Maybe I should leave the bloodletting to my sinister French colleague, Eric Ripert. Or that English guy ... what was his name? Maybe I should confine myself to constructive criticism. To a kinder, gentler, more mentor-like approach. Wear a big fluffy f---ing sweater to Judges' Table, speak in quiet, melifluous Garrison Keilloresque tones. Maybe lay off the gin.He makes no mention of the colonoscopy remark. More info: WebMD: Colonoscopy overview including how a colonoscopy is done and how to prepare for your colonoscopy Livestrong: Colonoscopy Katie Couric colon cancer screening on national TV saved lives by getting people to take a colonoscopy screening: Katie saved many lives by showing viewers how the procedure worked, and that it was easy and painless. People often imagine the worst. They talk themselves out of having their colonoscopies. Katie took some of the fear away by taking the mystery out of the test. Stand Up To Cancer Update 12/3/10: This is cool. My tweet, of this post, is now highlighted on the Huffington Post page for the premiere episode of Top Chef All-Stars.
