It’s my first documented case of another website ripping off my work! Okay, I guess technically it is a promotional graphic for a Catalan Institute event…and they caption it as such. So, yay, they reproduced my work without asking!

Review the outrageous theft of intellectual property here.

Check out these frigging awesome interactive bus stop prototypes designed by MIT. I was just thinking the other day how cool it would be if I could sync my cell phone with my local bus stop to know when I should run downstairs to catch the next bus. While I was pipe dreaming, MIT was prototyping. That’s why they are awesome and I am always missing the bus.

A new addition to our Catalan-American kitchen is the escalivada cheeseburger. We liked it, and we think you will too.

Burger Ingredients:
Ground meat (pork and beef mixture is good)
Bread crumbs
Egg
Ketchup
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Cheese for topping

Escalivada Ingredients:
Eggplant
Red Pepper
Onion
Olive Oil

Preparation:
Cook the burgers on a grill or, if you are losers like us who don’t have a grill, in a frying pan. Slice the veggies and place on an oven tray covered in aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and roast on high heat until they smell like escalivada.

Slice ciabatta bread and place burger in the center. Pile vegetables on top of burger. At salt, pepper, ketchup to taste. Devour. Repeat.
