"Chemical" Apple Pie

Dan's wife Jennifer made a recipe for us today that I found in one of my science journals.  It used to be on the back of Kraft butter crackers and uses a chemical reaction (with common household food ingredients) to turn them into something that tastes like apples!

Here's the article!

She also made a regular apple pie. Jennifer is a great cook so we know it was done right and believe it or not the taste and texture were a dead ringer. Who would have figured?

Now that's Fast Internet - Buckhead Church Live Video

Curious about the new "live" video at Buckhead Church?

The live feed does go over a dedicated fiber circuit to work. It doesn’t actually ever hit the internet - it goes over a portion of AT&T’s fiber network that they have dedicated to us for this service. The actual circuit is a TV1 circuit, and is 270Mbps, and we can send/receive video/audio from any campus.  We also have backup video running over the circuit that connects all our campus computer networks together - just incase.

I'm a tech junkie and love this stuff!

Made in the USA

Read an article today that said if every american shifted $20/month in spending from import to "made in the USA" it would mean 5 million new jobs, makes you think.

The Moment

Very cool Microsoft Photosynth software that created "The Moment" where you can zoom and rotate in 3D all over the moment of the oath. Just click on the link to go to CNN. It's a compilation of thousands of snapshots. Pretty fun! You can actually do this yourself on your vacation by combining a bunch of images of the same area.

Another cool thing was a satellite image from a company called GeoEye to the right. They do the images for Google Earth and I also happen to be an investor. This particular one shows DC a couple of hours before. Click on it to see the high resolution version and be able to zoom and pan.
