It seems that I've lost my blogging momentum in a big way, but, I'm going to see if I can get started again. Between moving to Seattle for a new job and raising a toddler, I haven't had much time on my hands to pursue other interests, but I am hoping that can begin to change. Over the past year, I've added a few amazing tools to my arsenal. My dad and I completed our build of a custom offset smoker, I built my first meat cave, and bought a brand new Ridgid cast iron table saw. My new additions are really going to add a lot to my fun, but there is a small catch: over the past couple years, I've collected quite a few loose ends. Before I can really get to some new endeavors, I've got a bit of work to take care of. Here is my open ended list to remind myself:
- Assemble my boat trailer
- Make a boat cover
- Make a smoker cover and the last handle for the smoker
- Build a horizontal fishing rod rack
- Unpack and organize the storage area
- Add a padded top to the toy chest
- Finish and repair fishing rods and clean reels
- Re-finish and repair rowboat
-Once all this is finished, I want to organize my garage and build wheeled tool stands for my jointer, lathe, grinder, and air compressor.
When all this stuff is out of the way, I plan to move my interests along with the seasons: fishing and barbecuing/smoking in the spring and summer, and woodworking and baking in the fall and winter. I'm really excited to get going, and I'm going to do my best to keep writing about it.... wish me luck!

HECTIC AND HAPPY
It has been a hectic few months, and I haven't taken many pictures or written down my thoughts frequently enough. That doesn't mean that nothing is going on, though... in fact, being busier has spurred me to do more than ever. I am loving spending time with my wife and daughter more than anything, and am more tired and more happy than I have ever been in my life.
Here are some of the non-family highlights that come to mind at the moment....
I'm almost done with my first semester of grad school at Cal State Fullerton. I have a midterm and a final for my math class in the next three weeks. The class has been really great and has definitely helped me to not only catch up on math that was shaky for me, but has extended what I already knew quite a bit. We started with differential equations, then went to linear algebra and complex analysis. These three topics were covered in my undergrad, but they were treated as separate subjects. The class I'm finishing up has combined these three topics, which was new to me... So instead of just solving a differential equation, now it is a matrix differential equation involving imaginary numbers. I think I'm still not there with combining all three together, but my understanding of each individual topic has definitely vastly improved through the combination.
On top of the math class, I started a robotics project worth two courses of credit. I am using a lego mindstorms kit with a gyro sensor, and am designing, building, and programming a two-wheeled balancing, maze solving robot. I am writing my own code in a program called "RobotC", which is basically C-Programming with a few add-ons. The technical term for the robot is an "inverted pendulum"... it's basically a miniature segway. I'm very proud to say that I've finally gotten the robot to stay standing until the batteries run out, which was not an easy task. I ended up using a double P-I control scheme, taking data from both the gyro sensor and motor encoders to balance the robot. It was surprising to me how much the data from the wheels mattered. I could not get the robot to balance using data from the gyro sensor alone, which was very counter-intuitive to me. Here's a quick video of the robot balancing...
The other thing that I am really excited about right now is the homemade smoker that my Dad and I are building. It is made from 3/16" steel... the grill is 20" around and 24" long, and the firebox is 12X17X14". I'm really looking forward to the food that is going to be coming off of this monster, but I'm equally enjoying building it. I will definitely be posting some pictures as soon as I can... My dad is really, really good at metal-working, and I seriously think this could very well be the highest quality smoker ever built.
That's it for now.....

HOW TO EAT
It's been a while since I've posted here because I've been so wonderfully busy with work, school, and my beautiful wife and daughter, but this past weekend, we took a break from life by visiting my aunt and uncle on Catalina Island.
We had a great time, but that's not what this post is about. This post is about eating... not so much the food that we ate, but the style of eating that my family partakes in. I think that modern Americans have lost something very significant in the hurried style of guilty eating that seems to be the norm. Spending time with my family, eating meals like my grandparents ate remided me that there is a whole lot more to a meal than flavor (not that there was any shortage of that).
A truly excellent meal is not only about eating good food, but it is about creating the right atmosphere and mood to enjoy that food properly. First and foremost, I believe that each person who is going to eat the meal should take some part in creating it, and should taste and sample liberally along the way. To me, the most important aspect of this is that it helps to build anticipation, and gets the proper mood started. The more work that goes in, and the longer the meal takes to prepare, the greater the excitement and anticipation will be.
Once the meal is well on its way in the kitchen, an apertif should be enjoyed. This gets the digestive system started, loosens tension, and sets the mood for a relaxed, liesurely meal. My favorite so far is Crema di Limoncello...
A little while after the cooking, sampling, and apertif have taken place, the meal can finally begin. There are four elements to the meal that I think are important. 1) The flavor needs to live up to the anticipation that has been building. Simplicity and freshness usually accomplish this 2) There should be at least three dishes 3)There needs to be an endless supply of french bread for dipping. 4) There needs to be at least one dish that can be eaten with the hands. A fork and knife do not allow the proper level of intimacy with your food, and you have to eat something with your hands to really get in the spirit of a good meal. The main portion of the meal should be liesurely and relaxed and there should be far too much food for anyone to finish.
Following the main meal, its always a good idea to serve fruit and/or nuts. Fruit and nuts are light and refreshing, and will eliminate the heaviness that comes with an extravagant meal. Again, liesure is key. Everyone should lounge around the table, picking at the fruit as they desire.
Following the fruit, coffee and dessert are essential. The dessert should be simple and not overly rich or heavy. The coffee should be strong. This would also be a good time for a digestif or after dinner liquer to further aid with digestion.
A meal like this, if done in the right spirit, should take at least an hour to eat. Be prepared - an after-meal nap is pretty much inevitable.
Now, I know that this whole thing sounds crazy and excessive, but in reality, it is not. Just because the meal is extensive does not mean it is unhealthy. Fresh, natural ingredients are key. Also, a meal like this is best served in the late afternoon so that only a very light dinner (if anything) is needed afterward.
I think everyone should give a meal like this a chance. It is probably something best done on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, but I guarantee that eating a meal the way my grandparents ate will leave you feeling whole and happy through and through.

ENTER NERDY
Ever since my wife and I had our baby, I've turned to cooking for entertainment. I am usually not happy if I'm not creating something that is a challenge to me, and I've found just what I have needed to satisfy my restlessness in barbecue and charcuterie. These things are great because they let me hang out with my family and give me some elaborate little challenges to conquer at the same time. Unfortunately, cooking fatty meats is not the healthiest of hobbies, and so, I often feel guilty about pursuing my passions.
I think things will be balancing out a bit more in the next few weeks. I'm going back to school for my Master's in mechanical engineering, with a focus on robotics, and am going to be very, very busy trying to learn new things. I think this is going to be good for me... It will give me some serious challenges that will keep me occupied without the use of food, while still allowing me to spend a lot of time with my family (quietly).
I've talked before about how this blog is interesting to me, because it gives me a timeline of my hobbies and interests... In three weeks, that timeline is likely going to have a big kink in it. I'm sure I'll still tackle some exciting meat projects from time to time, but, I am also interested in attempting to use my blog to help me retain the things that I am learning in school. I'm trying extremely hard to approach school with a new attitude... one where I study and learn because I am interested in the subject, rather than just trying to pass the classes.
I plan to use my blog to help me record my revelations and thoughts, or maybe even explain some things to myself that I have a hard time understanding. In short, it is probably going to get real mathy and nerdy around here, real fast...

THOUGHTS AND IDEAS
I heard something on the radio the other day that really made me think. China has had a one-child per family policy for some time now, which I always thought was strange and horrifying, but I never really gave it more thought than that. Here's the part where my mind blew... If you think about the children of the first generation of only children, you'll realize that their parents had no brothers or sisters... If you think about what that really means, you'll realize that after just two generations, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins do not exist! Of course, I'm sure that lots of people can get away with having more than one child, but the idea that a country could push extended family nearly out of existence is terrifying to me.
On a completely different note, I think everyone should go to http://www.ted.com/ and watch a talk that sounds interesting to them. Just about every subject is covered, and I think there is something for everyone. I never cease to be amazed and inspired by the ideas and information that I discover on that website. There is a link on the right side of this blog, but I think everyone should watch this video, which I found completely fascinating and important:
Aditi Shankardass: A second opinion on learning disorders Video on TED.com
I also thought these two were really interesting:
Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry demo SixthSense | Video on TED.com
Keep in mind that this one is from 2006...the first TED video I ever saw, the one that got me hooked....
Jeff Han demos his breakthrough touchscreen Video on TED.com

THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE
Well... its been a crazy few weeks, but I feel like I've finally caught up with everything I needed to catch up on. We've been trying to enjoy our last few days of non-parenthood by doing the things we enjoy that we won't be able to do for a little while once our daughter gets here.... mainly going out to dinner, going to the movies, and doing little things we think of spontaneously. We've also been doing lots of little things to get our home ready for some serious family time, my favorite of which was planting a garden. The next few projects that I am excited about tackling are building a toy box/bench, really organizing and fine tuning my garage, and making a ham from scratch. I am hoping to have more time for writing and pictures, which I really enjoy. I'm extremely excited by the idea that I've finished pretty much all of my "have to's" and can now move on with my life and start doing a few want to's" again.

AZUKI YA!
I've been slacking on my blog lately, so.... I just want to say that Japanese bakeries are incredible and that everyone should try going to one.
Their white bread is unlike any white bread I've had. It is yeasty, dense and chewy, but still incredibly fluffy. I used to think that white bread was a waste, but that is all changed now.
You also MUST buy some red bean buns ("Azuki Buns"). They are the most delicious little treat in the whole wide world, especially if you heat them up just a little bit. A red bean bun is basically a slightly sweet bun with a mixture of red beans, sugar, and mochi baked into the middle. They're just sweet enough to be dessert or breakfast, but not sweet enough to be overpowering. Lately, Azuki buns are all I can think about, and I'm pretty sure I'll be attempting to make them some time in the near future....
Oh yeah.... I'm not big on quotes, but I heard one that stuck with me yesterday....
"Ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is for life..."
I'm not entirely sure why, but I think this is the best quote I've ever heard...

INTROSPECTION
Now that I've had this blog for a little while, I realized that I wasn't using labels very effectively. I went through and changed all the labels, so now, if you're interested in a certain subject, you can click on it and see all the posts related to that topic. I've condensed everything so down to a pretty manageable list of topics. In doing this, I came across an interesting idea....I can actually track my level of interest in particular activities...
As of now, I used a cooking related label for 60% of my posts. Woodworking and fishing each came in at 5%. I find it fascinating that I can evaluate my interests with such clarity. At this point, I am obviously obsessed with cooking more than anything else, and I am very curious to see what these numbers look like after a full year.
I'm looking forward to using this enhanced vision to see myself with a little more clarity... This kind of information will let me see when I've allowed a hobby to go by the wayside, and either remind me to pick it up again, or bring me to the conclusion that it isn't something I'm really interested in...

BLOG BONUS
It's been about a month since I started this blog, and I am already amazed at the difference that I have noticed in my life. As far as I can tell, the blog has helped me quite a bit. Just the act of writing things down (whether within blog posts or just as a note to myself) has had a huge impact.
I've been led to think and evaluate things more clearly. I think it is a good mental exercise to sit and think for a few minutes, with a goal in mind. Surprisingly, I feel like I am much more physically and mentally active as a result.
Researching something and writing it down is a great way to embed it in my memory. The act of writing things down has worked just like it used to in elementary school, and I find that once I write a post, I don't need to re-read it (but having it available in case I forget gives me much peace of mind).
Writing down the things that I want to do has helped me to focus. Instead of wandering from one project or activity to another, I feel like I have been able to anchor myself a bit better. Jotting things down allows me to hold onto ideas for the future so that I can let them go for a while. As a result, I don't feel the need to do 1,000 things at once.
Just having a blog has changed the way I look at things. It has caused me to continually search for things to write about. Like a little alarm clock in my mind, when something interests me, my subconscious reminds me to pay attention and remember what I'm seeing.
When I started this whole thing, I wasn't sure that I would really keep up with it... but I'm starting to think it will be around for a while...

EASY STREET
It seems like all the good ideas are already taken these days. I used Shazam a while back, and it dawned on me... Shazam could use their massive songs library to sort the music on your computer... Run the program, click the folder with music in it, and they could send snippets of all your songs to their database, then rename them and fill in all their details for you. Awesome! I hate sorting music.
A quick google search shattered my dreams of easy street, but at least my music will be organized some day...

RESTLESS
Ever since I left home to go to college, I have moved about once a year. Each time I have moved, I have been extremely happy about it and completely fed up with the place I was moving away from. The weird thing is, it seems like every time that I visit somewhere I once lived, I fantasize about moving back, and scold myself for not taking advantage of everything the location had to offer.
The question is, did I fail to properly appreciate the good parts of my past homes, or am I just forgetting all my reasons for leaving now that some time has passed? Is there any place that I can tolerate for more than a year?

THE GREAT UNKNOWN
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about religion for some reason. The best way I can describe my feelings on religion is to say that I have come to the conclusion that I do not know who or what God is, and I am not sure that it is possible for myself or anyone else to truly know with certainty. In spite of this, I believe that a benevolent God does exist.
I think I am okay with this because I can't change what I truly, deep down believe, whether I'd like to or not, and to say otherwise would be a lie.
It turns out that there is a term for my way of thinking, and that term is "agnostic theism." I just happened upon this discovery recently, and I'm not sure why, but I have been intrigued by the fact that there is a word for what I actually believe. I realize that there are possibly some bad connotations that go along with the word agnosticism, but I am not really sure why. To help clear the air, here is a definition that I really like: "An agnostic theist is one who views that the truth value of certain claims, in particular the existence of god(s) is unknown or inherently unknowable but chooses to believe in god(s) in spite of this...An agnostic theist can also be a person who believes in a god(s), but does not understand how it or they work"
That sounds like what I believe right now. I like that I found this term by starting with my beliefs, rather than starting with a religion and trying to fit my beliefs to it. Just to be clear, this is not a religion and does not change anything about me at all, but for some reason, it is nice to know that there is a term for my current way of thinking.

HERE'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
I've decided to start this blog as an index of sorts for my thoughts and pursuits. I tend to become intensely interested and passionate about random activities and ideas, exhaust myself through relentless effort in the subject, and move on to something new. I'd like to start keeping track and saving the knowledge I gain along the way so that I can eventually go back and expand on what I've already discovered.
I'm going to occasionally take a little time to remember what I've done in the past, and maybe even revisit some of my old passions in an effort to hold on to them for the future. Here's a list of some of the activities I've taken up over the years that will likely be the subjects of future posts:
Fishing, Rod Building, Bread Baking, Cheese Making, Cooking, BBQ/Smoking, Boat Building, Carpentry, Blacksmithing, Net Making, Kayaking, Freediving, and (the most recent endeavour) Lobster Hooping.
