Aside May 1, 2019 Mike Leave a comment

1 can Romano beans
Half can tomato
Tomato sauce to taste
1-2 packages pappardelle
Eggs (optional)
Onion/garlic/meat (optional)
oil/spices to taste Food process/blend beans and tomato (and optionally eggs)
In saucepan, heat oil and brown any onion/garlic/meat
Add food processed mix to saucepan and simmer (until eggs and meat are fully cooked if using these ingredients)
Boil water, salt, and add pappardelle – cooking al dente, drain water and add enough sauce to fully cover each noodle as the processed bean will cause significant reduction

Jupiter: Through the Telescope

Aside October 7, 2012 Mike 1 Comment

A 100% crop of Jupiter taken with a Canon Powershot A95 mounted on a Newtonian style telescope.

If you are thinking about buying a telescope, please manage your expectations. I have a 5″ Newtonian Reflector scope which I picked up used for about $150. The image quality you can expect is marginal at best. Notice the bands on Jupiter? They are barely present. The storm is not visible whatsoever at this magnification. If you expect to see detail much greater than this, you could probably spend a bit more on a Dobsonian if you don’t mind the weight.

If astrophotography is your goal, I would recommend a refractor mounted to a Canon 60Da SLR body. This combo will run upwards of $2000 but should provide the best results.

WordPress Twenty Twelve Theme: First Impressions

A few days ago, I found the new Twenty Twelve theme (September 27th 2012) available for download so I thought I’d try it out. My first impression is that it doesn’t translate very well when switching from the Twenty Eleven theme out of the box. Here’s why: Continue reading WordPress Twenty Twelve Theme: First Impressions →
