Moistly Grilled Cast Iron Grill Humidifier - I think I’m going to pick up a set of these for the summer. Would be great for smoking ribs and such.






One thing I learned today. In the 1800’s there was no room for pansies. You had to be a man!
My wife and I took the kids on a field trip today with their homeschooling organization to Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA. It’s like walking back in time to about 1830. The people there carry on like they really would have back then and makes for a very authentic experience.
I’ve included some of the pictures I took while we was there. You can see all of them on my flickr. I was apprehensive about the trip at first but found it in the end to be very enjoyable. I was extremely humbled when face with the reality of how much we’ve taken for granted in our lives. If I ever completed my time machine and got stuck in the 1800s I prob wouldn’t have made it! I thank God for everything he has found fitting for my and my family to have. If he takes it away, I hope I could find the ingenuity to live like the early New Englanders, who despite meager resources, did indeed live.
People talk of sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa… I never made a sacrifice. We ought not to talk of ‘sacrifice’ when we remember the great sacrifice which He made who left His Father’s throne on high to give Himself to us.~ David Livingston - missionary to Africa in the 1800s (via wespendletonmusic)
From Engadget:
Roger Ebert, perhaps best known as the Hardy to Siskel’s Laurel during his days spent thumbing up and down criticisms at films, has achieved a technological miracle of sorts. After a series of cancer treatments and operations left the man mute and without a lower jaw, Ebert regained his voice in dramatic fashion on Oprah, of all places. A company called CereProc has recreated his voice through its text-to-speech technologies assisted by decades of recordings captured from his television appearances and DVD movie commentary tracks — not exactly applicable to everyone with speaking disorders. Nevertheless, check the clip after the break to witness the impact his semi-recovered voice has on his wife, Chaz. While it definitely needs tweaking, the results are pretty remarkable.
This is very cool. I couldn’t imagine going through what he and his wife are going through.
