comment ice cream at tulmeadow farms in west simsbury ct it s hard to believe but summer is almost over i no longer debate whether the house stays cooler with the windows open or closed there is almost a chill in the air when i wake up in the morning yes at the height of the day the sun still shines warm and bright but there s no mistaking it setting earlier in the evening hear that tomatoes and melons your days are numbered get ripening the garden got a late start this year june so we only started harvesting a few weeks ago mostly cucumbers and squash some of our tomatoes are starting to set but the big ones not so much corn too a few rattlesnake beans from the two vines that made it still holding out hope for the one yard long bean vine that s flowering now the everlasting chard from last summer is still going strong but more as chicken food as i pinch off leaves every few days stricken by leafminers the one crop that exceeded expectations was the one we didn t have to do anything for nectarines lots of delicious bright red nectarines i think i ate at least two a day for two weeks straight read more of this post filed under life plants animals travel tycho the first eight weeks june 21 2012 7 comments photo by jonathan lambert well we finally did it we got a dog ok we got engaged and married too but back to the exciting stuff i ve been pining for a dog for at least a couple years now with a precipitous moment last summer when i chanced upon an adoption fair in a downtown street market coming out of the optometrist s his name was monty short for monterey and he was perfect a black lab mixed with enough other things to give him the tuxedo chest the barest of white points and that je ne sais quois it helped that despite being 14 weeks old he was friendly without being excitable a good personality for a dog we didn t adopt monty because the circumstances weren t right but it got the gears turning with fresh vigor for the next few weeks i stalked the rescue organization s website for dog listings and tried to coerce my dog loving co workers to adopt monty in my stead so i could visit him or maybe steal him from them later then nearly a year later we had another chance dog meeting read more of this post filed under life plants animals love hate relationship with powerpoint march 22 2011 1 comment powerpoint is a ubiquitous tedious and oft maligned piece of software that everybody loves to hate some say powerpoint is bad because it s a crutch that has given us a generation of people who don t know how to give a presentation i ve given it my fair share of hating but sometimes i have to admit that powerpoint doesn t really deserve all the flak it gets but this post isn t about how i secretly love powerpoint i don t think i can quite go that far or how to give a good presentation or why powerpoint slides with blue backgrounds should die die a slow and painful death this post is about my new favorite use for powerpoint full res pharmacy sign

theme november 19 2010 1 comment inspired by stephanie huang of projectsteph i ve decided to try on a new blog theme it hasn t been that long since the last change but i feel like i ve learned a lot since then about what i like in a blog visually sans serif a clean palette nothing too big or dramatic lots of space for actual posts and minimal styling so that images get full emphasis but there are always new themes coming out so who knows if this theme will last a month a year more or less filed under miscellaneous reflections on ashg 2010 november 11 2010 6 comments as conferences go the american society of human genetics ashg annual meeting is a pretty big deal anyone who s anyone in human genetics is there and if you want to be someone you better be there too and it s big this year s meeting saw more than 6 000 attendees spread throughout a gigantic convention center that spanned four square blocks in the heart of washington d c academics publishers clinicians policy wonks and industry reps staked out their territory among an endless sea of posters eye popping demo booths and cavernous session halls the international meeting for bioinformatics that i ve gone to the past seemed quaint by comparison at bioinformatics conferences the common theme is computational methods applied to a wide variety of topics at a conference like ashg the common theme is human genetics probed and interpreted with a variety of methods but even the topic is breathtakingly broad sessions covered complex disease non coding rnas methylation ethical social legal education issues surrounding genomic research and genetic testing mouse models high throughput sequencing population and evolutionary genetics pharmacogenetics cilia computational methods and mendelian disorders to name just a few i made my first visit to ashg this year as part of a small contingent from 23andme a direct to consumer genomics company although i missed a good portion of the conference due to my schedule some of my colleagues took notes on sessions that i missed and ample coverage of many of the sessions could be had by following the twitter hashtag ashg2010 the following summaries and reflections represent a composite of tweets other people s notes and my personal notes and impressions read more of this post filed under science technology tagged with ashg conferences human genetics

galleries from hiking trips and the occasional here s what i did in the last three months since i last blogged to those who wish i only posted essays sorry i know myself and it ain t going to happen in fact i ve been meaning to document more of my culinary experiences but even this has been a challenge for me three hours of cooking and eating dinner at 10 pm does not put me in the mood for blogging especially when a purring cat curls up on your lap but my system of index cards scribbles torn out of notebooks and sauce stained printouts simply isn t tenable so over the next month or so i m going to attempt to catch up a bit on some of the recipes we ve tried and do a better job of archiving them online let that be a warning to those who could care less about cooking filed under food
