    NHK Video: Steve Jobs love of Japanese Art

    Nice Read - thanks for sharing. I had no idea Steve Jobs was a collector of Shin-hanga wood block prints. That's fascinating to me when you consider shin-hanga and Japanese cuisine intersecting with Jobs era Apple design. Very, very cool. Thanks again for sharing.

    My friend Charles has an early 80s RX-7. He has forever (decade+ at least ) been fiddling with the carburetor trying to achieve maximum oomph. Neat car. The more i look at those wood rack rails, the more I really like them. My 300D is garage kept, but still, 8hrs a day M-F parked at work is a...

    Not only vintage Computers

    A work-buddy of mine from around 15 years ago DD'd a couple 240Ds that he had converted to bio fuel. I rode in them and it wasn't at all bad for an in town commuter. It was slow but heck, so is my turbo'd 300D. modern cars blow by me - my wife's Vdub Atlas just leaves me in the dust. What evs...

    I have considered swapping out to Euro lights a number of times. I do like the look of them and the stock bulbs are in fact not the greatest. I luckily do not live where there is a lot of ground fog, so I get by with what I've got but that is on the list of to-dos. Right now, I am refinishing a...

    Oh my, Little Kings are fantastic aren't they? Every time I am in the area (which isn't too often unfortunately), I scoop some. Yeah, grew up on the Reds, Bengals, n' chili parlors and have loved the stuff since I could walk. Mmmmm, delicious :) Nowadays I have my own scratch recipe but if I'm...

    I was going to repaint my 300D in orange (because that is an awesome color) but am rethinking vintage white (cream). That way I can get a magnetic Cincinnati Reds C emblem for my hood which would be epic. That and get a GoldStar Chili emblem for my back window.

    Ohh, I like that very much especially with the safety cage feature. Very nice. Does the cage while open disable the start? With all of the commercial mixers Ive used over the years, they have all included this feature as to prevent appendages from being torn off and with curious little kids that...

    The Mega Shed

    All I have to say is that is one righteous galley kitchen - just gorgeous. Very cool! Love the back yard space too. Hmm, the way it is oriented, the pad could be rebuilt to accommodate an even bigger she shed. If you do commence with the build, please document here. Id love to see how it comes...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    So I dont use a commercial mixer. I'd love to have a Hobart 8qt stand mixer but just have never had the room for one in my kitchen (and don't now LOL). I use the same Kitchen Aid 600 series that I've had since culinary school (1996-99) if you can believe it. The thing is an absolute workhorse...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    This is a great idea. I will pick up a few extra and attach them to the under sink space or above the microwave if under the sink is inconvenient.

    I do eat pizza often (it is one of my favorite food groups after all) and consistently make it in house for the fam but use a ceramic "stone" in my large oven for Pizza Fridays. That little oven you see is a Wolf Elite Gourmet convection/conventional countertop oven. If any of you are ever in...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    I put up the hardware today. We chose a 10” large drawer pulls. Things are starting to pull together for me. This was a PITA. I ended up making templates out of cardboard for consistent drill holes. Four different templates for four different placements. Anyhow, it ended up working well...

    The Mega Shed

    That is one mega fancy she-shed. Is this space going to be specifically for growing stuff or will there be built in work space? Also, water seems like it would be a nice addition considering the gardening going on. Heck, that could be as easy as a hose from the house to a shed hook up. What...

    USB Mouse for iBook?

    Something to consider with older usb mice is the cord length. That ibook has its USB ports on the left side, so anything 2ft or shorter IMO may pose an issue wrapping around the machine for a right handed user. Using all the cord length to get around the back of the machine can create a tug of...

    USB Mouse for iBook?

    I am generally speaking a fan of logitech gaming mice because of high sensitivity, comparative quality, and very long cords. While mine do not aesthetically match the white snow plastics of that era mac, Logitech does have some very nice $30-50 wireless usb dongle mice (like a g305 for example)...

    Next Station Turbo Repair

    Same. No one in my local mac/retro pc group has one either unfortunately. A Next Cube would be legit. Nice work.

    Ultimate Bolognese Sauce

    I absolutely adore French cuisine. My initial (90's) professional culinary education's focus was of the French discipline ie: Careme, Escoffier brigade etc. You see that influence all over European cuisines.

    That is a great idea. Off to the pool right now but will investigate this idea later in the day. That is quite industrial/masculine, so unsure if the better half will approve but I personally like the idea. I did get the electrical socket/switch covers on - opted for a brushed aluminum to match...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Quick update - I finished the tile. I like how it looks & am a fan of keeping everything neutral - shows off the counter top wood grain. So while completing the tile job I realized that the light over the sink is not perfectly centered lol. Uhhhhhh SO, if I cannot find an a-symmetric light...
