(via angry chicken: white chocolate cardamom biscotti)

Great formula type recipe. I made some with almonds and dried apricots and they are great!

not martha — Kit Kat Cheese

These would either be very good or very bad. I can’t quite decide. I’m sure the addition of Marmite would help though.

Oh, Fransson!: Tokyo Subway Map: Finished

This is a fabulous idea for a quilt, it’s based on the Tokyo subway map. 

Great chart showing the words people of different ages & sexes use to describe themselves on last.fm. The “about me” on my last.fm profile is blank…

BBC News - Tech Know: BBC Micros used in retro programming class
