  wedding night 

  I’m not one for astrology or other superstitions, but i have to say i do like a good portent in the sky. I got an iPad recently, and one of my favorite apps for it is the amazingly sweet “Star Walk” (iTunes link) astronomy program. When i found that you could zoom around in time as well as in space, i immediately fast forwarded to our wedding night to see what the sky would look like. As it turns out, it will be a new moon and three planets will be really closely aligned at sunset:

  

  The other thing that was really cool though is to the north. I didn’t realize it when we set the date, but as it turns out there may be some Perseid meteors visible that night, and i bet we would have a fairly amazing view of them from the mountain. They might not be really visible until much later, but man what a sight that would be to have the meteor shower flying over a volcano at you? Hell yeah.

  Dashcode questions 

  

  As I am wont to do in a cyclical fashion, I’ve started running through some programming tutorials. I decided I would take a swing at some Dashcode, but even the basic walkthrough is failing for me. I’ve created the app described here and everything works fine, but the search function doesn’t grab the active data it’s supposed to. Instead it just searches for ‘null’. Weird. I entered in the three lines of code exactly as described, it’s just not hooking up properly. Anyone know what I did wrong here?

  iPad app recommendation 

  A small request: does anyone know of a decent photo editor for iPad? What I’m looking for is something real basic that can resize, crop, rotate and maybe do other basic stuff. Preferably and then save changes right into the photo library. I’ve poked around the app store a little bit, but I have no idea what is good and what is terrible.

  Tomato Basil Artichoke soup 

  Here’s some soup I made last week.

  • 1.5 – 2 lb Roma tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 a white onion chopped
  • 2 Tbsp beer
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, sliced
  • a bunch of basil, chopped up
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 3 Cups of water and a vege bouillon cube or vegetable stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

  Heat up the olive oil and butter, and when it gets foamy add the onion. Saute until the onions are soft but not browned. Add the beer. Add the water+bouillon or stock , tomatoes, artichokes and bring to a boil. Lower to low heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in some of the basil, saving a couple of leaves for garnish. Run half of the  soup through a food processor if you want it to be a little smoother. Then add in the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.  Serves several humans.
