I got a chance to visit the Intellectual Ventures food lab, the lab behind the amazing Modernist Cuisine cookbooks that I’ve written about before. Lots of crazy lab equipment.

SOMAArts show and Om’s place
Sister is in town and went to the Get Lucky: The Culture of Chance show at SOMArts, had some food truck Mexican food, and swung by Om’s place to catch up with some friends. Shot with Charleen’s Canon S100, which is a fun pocket camera that had some pretty decent shots in low-light, especially given its size.
