type casting reflected

Someone decided to type cast in a broad sense. This is starting off as a simple #3. Yes, I have contemplated including #7 again to make it a true 'GeWilli' post. But for some reason there isn't anything compelling out there to include. Bobby Fisher? Nah. Everyone else is lamenting the death of the anti-semetic, anti-american former chess champ. Most of the people are overlooking his political views, either because they don't know them or they condone them but are afraid to come out in support of them. Me? Neither. Being anti-preservative isn't the same as being anti-'specific culture/group of people' well maybe it is if you delineate it enough. I'm trying to avoid turning this into a #8, so we'll leave that right there.

I've decided that while I love the collection of recordings on my hard drive, I am not thrilled to have them randomly selected in shuffle mode. I like listening to Grooveradio or Pandora because they pop songs in there I never would have selected. So, I've stumbled on some podcast. DJ Tiesto, Armin van Buren, and a few other long mix sets/podcasts. Those I like. But then they aren't perfect either. I don't have an uninterrupted hour or two to listen (off the trainer - but I have yet to ride the trainer post iPod acquisition).

Oh and I *LOVE* the Cooks Illustrated Video Pod casts. Good stuff. I need a dutch oven (to make no knead bread when the Bread lab is closed).

Bread is good.

And no wonder when I have a craving for beer, a handful of good bread satisfies. (Watch the No Knead Bread 2.0 podcast). Or is it the other way around.

Thinking off beer - hats off to the hard core New Belgian crew contesting at Masters worlds in MOL this weekend. Steamboat, The Mayor, CTodd... and who ever I've missed. We're all Jealous. Race well and REPRESENT!

Didja know Bobby Fisher's parents were Jewish? The dude was just messed in the head. Typical for many genius types.
