This is why I love Creative Commons

Woot! I got a photo published again, this time in Physics World next to a review of a book about pendulums.

"Getting into the swing", Physics World, April 2006, p. 40

They can do this because I license my photos under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which says "Do as you will, just give me credit." The whole point of the Creative Commons is to provide a body of work that can be freely built upon to enrich our culture. I'm just doing my part.

Last night's recipe

1 bag Morningstar Farms Meal Starters "steak" strips
1 can Campbell's mushroom gravy (maybe this should be 2 cans)
1 pound assorted mushrooms, sliced (I used half portobello and half ordinary)
2 Tbsp. butter
Egg noodles, or white rice, your choice

Cook the pasta/rice. While it cooks, heat up a large pan, throw in the butter, and put the mushrooms on top. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are mostly limp. Throw in the fake-steak strips and cook until they're hot. Pour in the gravy and cook until it's all nice and bubbly. Serve over pasta/rice.

I prefer syrup

Because there just aren't enough headlines about salad-tossing: Large Salad Tossed in a Pool.
