Cioppino
Cioppino.
I found this recipe many years ago and wanted to keep it alive.
Here is a grand San Francisco Seafood dish. It is modeled on the common coastal Italian "Zuppa di Pesca", ("Soup of Seafood"), which is cooked as village specialties all along those ancient coasts, and some of which bore names that came off the tongue sounding like cioppino. San Francisco's fishermen and their families have been Italian, and Portuguese, for generations, and this Cioppino recipe is derived from the old fishing and cooking traditions of these traditionaly seafaring peoples, the restauranteurs of San Francisco, and the stunning variety and quality of seafood that the coastal waters there provide.
Cioppino is another of those recipes that are made in more that one part, and then the parts are added together and cooked a bit more to finish off the dish just before serving. Cioppino consists of a light herbal tomato sauce, a nice fish fumet, and the couple handfuls of the seafood catch of the day. Add all together in a pot, preferably cast iron, and bring the whole thing gently up to a simmer for a couple minutes, drop in a last bit of abulone or squid, and maybe a last dash of Tabasco, then put in big, flat bowls and serve with a loaf of good bread, a clean, sharp salad, and a big bottle of red wine. This is one of those dishes that you can spend a lot of very pleasant time eating.
TO DO CIOPPINO:
First we do the light tomato sauce base. This quantity is about right for 4 or 5 hungry people. To begin, heat a good sized skillet, and add:
* 1 Tbl Butter
* 1 Tbl Olive Oil
When butter sizzles, add:
* 2 clove garlic, chopped
* 1/2 med onion, chopped
* 2 carrot, thin slice
* 1/2 green pepper or 2-3 jalapenos, chopped
* stalk celery, some leaves, chopped
Saute around a bit, not too hot, till onion transparent, add:
fair bit basil, bit of oregano, wad of parsely, all preferably fresh, nice bay leaf, 1/4 tsp fennel seed, a clove, a grind black pepper, a tsp or more of ground red chile.
Saute this around for just a bit till you can smell the spices. Then add:
A good splash white wine, a good dash of Tabasco, and a good shot of both red wine vinegar and Worstershire Sauce.
Toss this around for a small bit, and add:
Five 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce.
Simmer this all up for an hour or two, and reserve. This will keep on the stove for a day or two, and refrigerates well. It will freeze for future reference for up to a couple months.
FISH STOCK, OR FUMET
The second part of the Cioppino is the stock, or fish flavored soup base. To do this, wash a couple pounds of fish bones, a couple fish heads, and a few shrimp, lobster or langostino shells if you have them. Put them into a stock or stew pot, add a couple quarts of water, a chunk of onion, stalk of celery, carrot chopped up, maybe a grind of black pepper or a turnip. Keep this part pretty simple though. Simmer the stock gently a couple hours, strain, cool well and reserve.
THE SEAFOOD
For a nice serving of Cioppino you should have a good selection of seafood types. The only good seafood is absolutely fresh seafood, so let what is available best be your guide. You do want a mix of a bit of fish, a few shellfish, maybe a shrimp or two or a nice fat langostino, and maybe a bit of squid, octopus or abulone thrown in a the last moment. For each serving, a typical seafood mix might include any three or four of the below:
* 2 one ounce pieces of nice, white fish like rock bass or halibut
* 2 medium sized shrimp, or a medium langostine, or 3 crayfish
* 4 mussels
* 3 clams
* 6-8 limpets
* 2 thumb sized pieces of well pounded octopus
* couple nice chunks of lobster or monkfish
* a few small scallops
* couple halibut cheeks
* a small crab, or a couple pieces of a bigger one
TO DO THE CIOPPINO:
In a large pan, for each serving add:
* One ladle tomato base
* One ladle fish stock
* good handful of seafood, must include both fish and shellfish
* Splash of white wine
Simmer up gently till shell fish shells open. Discard the occasional one that does not open. Take off fire. At this point, a bit of finely sliced squid or abulone can be added, the residual heat will cook them sufficiently

Announcing the Delicious iPad app! | Delicious Blog:
If you use or used to use Delicious to manage bookmarks you have noticed that trying to use the Web site has become a disaster. Since their upgrade last fall you can no longer update tags in an existing post, you can not see the existing link before clicking on it, and whole host of other issues.
The upgrade last fall was really a down grade and I was extremely disappointed at a technology that was very cool and quickly explained to the layman how 'Tagging and Tags" worked.
Well some or our answers have been answered since the release of the IPAD app for Delicious. I did not download this app as I assumed it would suck as bad as the website, but to my surprise much of the lost functionality is now available. You can see a preview of the link before it opens it and you can edit Tags of existing links.
I will say that It only works in the Portrait layout and does not switch to Landscape. Bummer, but at least I can edit my tags.

Internet Topology - Massive and Amazing Graphs – Big Data News
http://www.bigdatanews.com/m/blogpost?id=6608741%3ABlogPost%3A2728
If you love big crazy complicated illustrations of huge amounts of data presented in a beautiful way this post from www.bigdatanews.com writen by Data Analytics expert Vincent Granville is for you.
Vincent did a couple of google searches of complicated illustrations and posted some of the results of his queries on this post. The best thing that these graphs/pictures illustrate is the enormous complexity of information that we have generated. The complexity further is reflected in the fact that the graphs represent many different types or genres of information that we generate. When I say "we" I am referring to us as a species. Each of us just by being alive generate a considerable amount of data points collected by various government entities and our further activities of just being alive and interacting within our own cultures create data points i.e. surfing the web, using a reward card, etc. Then consider that some of us are in the business of generating further data about yet another set of huge variables. The mountain of information is like looking at the stars in the sky, limitless.
So how do we make sense of this information, well the best way is via interactive visualizations and Vince has found some of the biggest and most attractive publicly available here in this post. This further goes into how do you make a limitless view, well, more limited. Many of these graphs have a interactive component that allows the user or viewer to drill down into the the meat and potatoes of the information if they choose too. This method allows one to immediately make sense of what is ultimately a complex system and allows them to see the substituent parts that make up the data set as a whole.
Great work Mr Granville.

After a hard day of thinking about how to collaborate or provide data analytics to the masses. Sometimes I don't want to think. If I want a place to go to not think, I would go to any of the places pictured in this site.

7+ Social Software Platforms for Enterprise Collaboration
7+ Social Software Platforms for Enterprise Collaboration:
A nice list of platforms for Enterprise Collaboration. However I would like to see more open source products being reviewed for ESN. I have had some success with Elgg 1.8 and think it may have legs. Especially since they have a huge developer community that is constantly churning out new features.
Enjoy

Drupal as an enterprise solution | drupal.org
Drupal as an enterprise solution | drupal.org:
As I am always on the quest for the best Enterprise Social Collaboration tools I have come across Drupal. Drupal is a decent, robust, scale-able open source, solution that many folks have purposed for Facebook "replacement" on the web. If you would like to have a social networking site and have it be separate from Facebook Drupal is a nice solution. Much like Elgg 1.8, Drupal has many of the features and flexibility that allows for a great experience for your community and developers.
But the question still begs, is this platform ready for use in a large Enterprise Collaboration environment? This article investigates this question

Use VLC to get more from YouTube
Use VLC to get more from YouTube:
If you use VLC as much as I do, you know that it is a great video player. It works on almost every type of media I can find. I am starting to hate the adds in Youtube as much as I hate adds on tv. This may be a great way to enjoy more content from youtube.

Cool data analytics going on here. Notice the gun crime is focused in urban areas >250k people. Maybe the focus should be on improve the economics disparities in these areas. Maybe the associated gun crime statistics may go down as the quality of life goes up. Just a thought!

This somewhat of a none sense post. If you have a whinny collegue you can pass this "how did somebody make you sad or angry" form on to them so that they can get a hint to grow up.
