Companies and open source
The company I work for makes is submit for review all FOSS/Open source software we use. As far as I know they don’t actually donate any money to them, its just a software license review.
How does your company handle this? Do you donate money or time if you use putty or Firefox? Do you think they should?
Oatmeal Royale
This is a recipe I remember my dad making on Sunday mornings for us when we were little. It’s from Eat To Win by Dr. Robert Haas. Its actually the 1983 version but he just recently updated it since the low-fat diets are coming back. My dad lost a lot of weight with this plan when he was younger. Little bits of it creapt into our lives also, like this recipe and his “Peanut butter” (basically wheat germ and smashed bananas, it tastes better than it sounds).
Oatmeal Royale (serves 2)
1/4 c. raisins
1 medium apple, peeled and diced (my dad never peeled apples)
1 banana, cut in half and sliced
2/3 c. oatmeal
1/3 c. bran (I think my dad used wheat germ instead of bran)
1/4 t. cinnamon
1 T. orange juice concentrate (we always had orange juice with this breakfast since you had to do something with the rest of the orange juice)
1 1/2 c. water
1. Place water, orange juice concentrate, and fruit in saucepan.
2. Bring to a rapid boil. Add oatmeal and bran. Turn off heat immediately. Stir constantly.
3. Add cinnamon and all of the fruit. Leave over heat approximately 1 minute stirring constantly
4. Remove from heat and pour into bowls. Serve piping hot.

Bird by Bird Quote
This is one of the greatest lines from a book I’ve seen in a long time:
“I worry that Jesus drinks himself to sleep when he hears me talk like this.”

Thanks to Merlin Mann for the reading suggestion.
