Bun Rieu from Lemongrass

Before 

So, it's a sick day, so going through the archive. This is a shot of one of my favorite Vietnamese soups, bun rieu. Carly decided to do noodle soups as a focus for one of her photography assignments. How could I complain?

SharePoint 2010, VS 2010 and Deploying Resources to the App_Global Resources folder

Image
When you are localizing a SharePoint site, you may need to get your .resx files to the App_Global resources folder in your virtual directory for the web application. This gave us a bit of trouble, so I thought it would be worth writing down. And funnily enough, the answer is very simple and provided by Visual Studio 2010 (VS2010's integration with SharePoint 2010 is pretty awesome). We'll start by adding a New SharePoint 2010 item: an Empty element … And name it "Resources"… After adding the Empty Element Item to your project, you can add your .resx files to its folder.

It's quite responsive, and the way tiles move and slide around almost imparts an organic feeling, alost playfulness. I do miss Android's awesome notification system and the wealth of great apps that are available on iOS4, but I think Microsoft can gain ground on both fronts with the right moves. Anyway, so far there are two features that I really love so far: 1. You can use the phone as an FM radio through the Music + Videos player - it uses your headphones as the antenna. How cool is that??? 2. Via @brianfeucht, it came to my attention that

Manzanita Vacation - Day 1

Image
Ok, so Day 1 of time off from work, we drive out of SUNNY, 90° F, Seattle to Manzanita, OR, where C and I are vacationing with her family for the next 6 days. Although the weather here is definitely cooler and overcast, nothing can really beat the ocean air and the sense of calm you get from hearing the waves crash. And maybe I just need to pull myself away from computers. Cheers!
