Father’s Day 2009

I made this cake last month, but I forgot to post it.
Honestly, this cake was one of the cakes that I spent the least amount of effort on. I regret not  taking more time.
It’s my standard recipe for a chocolate cake, which is good, but the decoration could have been so much better.

Just a Coffee Cake

I rarely get the chance to make a cake like this one. I had so much fun making it.
I made this cake at someone’s request for their birthday and tried my best to really tailor it.

I think Sega should try letting another company take the lead in releasing a product. All of the other companies built on Sega’s console.

It doesn’t cost that much, but the idea of hosting from your home is not for everyone. Here’s a little tutorial for everyone thinking of starting your own website.

IMAP or POP? That is the question.
Where do I stand? I use both. IMAP settings are used on my netbook and POP settings are used on my desktop. Why have two different email settings? I’ll explain in the next few paragraphs.
IMAP settings are great because it allows you to have the same information everywhere. I can add folders to my email account on one computer, and it will show up on my other computer. The same thing goes for the messages. If I read or deleted a message on one …

I heard this song a while ago from a Scott Scheel DVD. I loved the tune, but when I actually listen to the lyrics, it makes a lot of sense. I don’t quite understand the video. At least in the music video for “Whip It,” there are whips in the video.
