It is almost New Year’s Eve and champagne (or other sparkling wine) will be on the menu. Why not learn a bit more about this bubbly concoction and increase your enjoyment of it?

Today, in honor of this amazing beverage, I present Champagne Info!

#1 What is Champagne? from Wikipedia

“Champagne (French: [ʃɑ̃.paɲ]; English /ˌʃæmˈpeɪn/) is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of Francefollowing rules that demand secondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation.^[1] Some use the term champagne as a generic term for sparkling wine,^[2] [3] but many countries reserve the term exclusively for sparkling wines that come from Champagne and are produced under the rules of the appellation.^[4]“

This is a cool hack of an Ikea stool to hold up form core project boards to brainstorming projects, presentations and more. Stool still function as stools when not in use.

This looked so good that it immediately caught my eye on Pinterest. My wife loves ricotta in her pasta sauces although I find it can overwhelm the flavors. This recipe looks balanced between the ricotta and the tomato sauce, so I think we will definitely be given it a try.  I am also a fan of larger pastas, like rigatoni, as opposed to spaghetti or other smaller pastas. I think it gives a nice, different eating experience to vary the types of pasta you eat.

This looks yummy and den easy to make. So far this summer we have made a blackberry sorbet and lemon granita along with our usual staple of vanilla ice cream. I look forward to trying this one out next. Only 3 ingredients – peaches, honey and yogurt.

Geek at Work! – Photo-A-Day Nov 13, 2006, originally uploaded by dewelch.

I have been using Flickr to share my photos since 2004 and have over 5,300 photos there which have been viewed over 33,000 times. I’ll be re-visiting some of my favorite pictures and also those most popular with other Flickr users.

I picked up a bunch of these standees at BarCampLA back in 2006. This photo was part of my Picture-A-Day series from that year. It is rated as the #1 most popular photo in my Flickr Photostream.

I still have that laptop, although the hinge is broken and it isn’t the speediest thing. It gets called into duty on occasion for displaying videos at Halloween and other static displays.

Ghosts of the Internet 2011 – 07, originally uploaded by dewelch.

This is one of my better pictures, I think, especially since it is of a person.

I tend to shoot architecture, nature and such, but our friend’s daughter, Penny, hit the perfect Halloween pose for me.

She was irresistible. (click)

Social Media and Your Career

Wednesday, September 21 at 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM

Congregational Church of Northridge

Building the career you deserve means becoming both director and promoter of it–No one cares as much about your career as you do. This means taking the lead in ‘Telling people what you do and how you do it!” Social media provides the tools needed to develop the jobs and projects that make one’s career unique and fulfilling.This panel will give practical information about how to use social media to build the career you desire. We’ll talk not only about the “why” of social media, but also about “how” it can, and should, be used, so that you are in control of all aspects of your career.

I found this stub from a boarding pass inside of my purse today. Hard to believe our trip ended just over a week ago. Good times, Good Times!
