Never thought I’d be impressed by css text-shadow, but I am. Designers take note http://ow.ly/5tpoa

These are some awesome drop shadows done using CSS on text.

Another sunrise from the office kitchen window.

There is an upside to leaving home before sunrise, you get to see some awesome sunrises.

I can’t think of any other reason that its cool to get up when it’s still dark outside.

I’m loving the phone so far, its not the fastest or fanciest phone but its still pretty awesome.

I’ve managed to setup links to all the “lmportant” social media apps. I’m rather impressed by Android, its a lot better than my old Nokia.

Full review to come soon…

But we’ve started to get a little bored…

Yesterday I remembered reading about a Basil and Tomato pasta in one of my Jamie Oliver books, a quick search online found the one I was thinking about.

I made a few changes to the dish, I added a chopped and peeled clove of garlic to the tomatoes and used Woolies rosa tomatoes. I also cooked some chicken cut in strips in some olive oil and a little white wine to add to the dish. We didn’t have the same cheese but a little grated Parmesan worked pretty well. I played with the quantities a little as I was only cooking for two… and still managed to have leftovers.

The dish is super easy and if you co-ordinate everything correctly and time it just right you could do everything in +/- 30minutes of cooking (depending on how long the oven takes to warm up.)

And it tasted soooo good, its easily my new favourite home cooked pasta dish.

Obviously the dust bunnies have gotten in there and are causing some trouble. I’ll see what I can do to get you some better links.

The good news is the Garage “workshop” is nearly complete so I’ll soon be taking things apart, modding them and building new things… So please watch this place.
