4 AM drunk snack, with effort

last night/this morning i created a magical concoction.

to recreate it would be easy and delicious.

i highly recommend you attempt this in your own home.

ingredients

2 slices of your favorite bread

lots of bacon

a generous portion of finely chopped cilantro

1/2 of a sliced tomato

2-3 slices of red onion cut in circular rings

cheddar cheese

mayo & sriracha to taste

1. fry bacon. place cooked pieces on a piece of brown paper or paper towel to absorb extra grease.

2. fry onions in leftover bacon grease. just do it. repeat grease-absorption process.

3. toast bread and melt cheddar on one slice.

4. put bread on plate. add bacon, onion, mayo, tomato slices, and cilantro.

5. add sriracha to your preferred spicy level.

6. cut diagonally.

best enjoyed at a ridiculous hour while intoxicated.

Where is my mind?

Way out, in the water...
see it swimming?

Synaptic Stimuli- oh my.

Jamaica me craayzay

Hot new song with a kickass video...looks like this summer's soundtrack is coming along nicely, considering this amazing mos def/dub remix just dropped, too. The jams are here early, but we're so close I can taste it...

another RECIPE!

tonight we made something we like to call Ghetto Paella. we've made it before in a slightly different incarnation, but that's the beauty of Ghetto Paella: it can really have anything! (as long as it has rice, of course)

GHETTO PAELLA

what you need:

rice (cooked, uncooked, the leftovers from last night's rice 'n beans)

anything else you have around (we had tomatoes and canned green peas, plus some leftover rice that had some black-eyed peas and spinach in it)

other ideas: sausage, hot dogs, peppers, turnips, just about goddamn anything.

1. cook everything up in a big pan on high heat with a lot of oil

2. if needed, add sriracha/lime/coriander/salt/black pepper

3. ENJOY!

The Pace of Progress

Will Rosenfelds Law be enough to save us?
Given we have (max) a century to figure this shit out before we completely cook ourselves, my guess is a cautious maybe...
Why a century, you ask? Physics, I answer:

For every 4Gt Co2 we emit, the atmospheric concentration goes up by about 1ppm. The global economy emits roughly 8Gt/yr. Between 400-550ppm, temperature increases correspond to roughly to 1degree increase/50ppm increase. But above 550ppm, increases can jump to around 1-2degrees/50ppm...so by 650ppm we are committed to over 5degrees average surface temperature increase, at which point Denver will be tropics. (or more probably a desert...)
Most scientists agree that 350ppm is the concentration we need stabilize at in order to preserve the world climate as it is today. But this implies almost zero emissions in the next fifty years...likely? Hmm. No. So lets give it some wiggle room- say 550ppm. (This still commits us to between 2.3-4degrees increase in average temperature- a potentially catastrophic gamble, but one we are well on the path to making) Since C02 hangs around for centuries, to stabalize at 550ppm we can emit no more than 720Gt Co2 EVER. Thats total, for everything society does over the next several thousand years. Given our current and ever-increasing rate of 8Gt/yr, that gives us just 90 short years to stop emitting completely before we cross the 550ppm threshhold, and, well...
