I was after a rock cake recipe, so I borrowed one of my mum’s treasured recipe books. You can tell it’s a favourite as it’s stuffed with clippings, is falling to bits and is liberally coated in dried ingredients.
The book is the CWA’s “The Esk Valley Cookbook: Treasured Recipes of the Countrywomen of the Esk [...]
A few days ago Apple released next year’s spin on iLife - their “home” computer applications suite. The tool that’s changed most is iMovie. Infact, according to Saint Steve, it’s actually a complete redesign and rewrite. The name’s lost the superfluous “HD” suffix also too (It doesn’t “think” in SD any more, but can export [...]
There’s been considerable hubub over the last year about how “off target” the Sony PS3 marketing has been ever since their “WTF, ID4?” and “WTF, children of the corn” teaser ads (Ok, we didn’t get these in Australia). Now check-out what their booth looks like at this year’s Leipzig Games Conventio.

NewTeeVee: One in Five US Homes Have DVR, Just not Tivo

Even though this is a low-fat recipe, it tastes absolutely fantastic. The recipe comes from ABC’s Delicious magazine, circa 2005-2006. It’s a good intro to the mild lemony flavour of sumac (which is also great on grilled meats and rubbed-into sliced white onions). Mind you, the flavour does get kind-of pummeled by [...]
Those German thriftmeisters have done it again! They’re shifting a 1G Secure Digital flash card with inbuilt USB interface. This combo was pioneered by SanDisk in their “Ultra II Plus” models and I’ve not seen it anywhere else.
