John Seely Brown: Chief of Confusion Commencement Speech - Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) 5/14/2011 John Seely Brown [Download PDF version] Good morning. It is also a special day for me, since IIT - especially your world class school of design - had a great deal to do with my career at Xerox Corporation where I would often come in contact with your extraordinary school and some of its most famous leaders such as Jay Doblin. From the President and Provost introductions just given to me, you might be wondering how a hard core geek from Silicon Valley became so interested in the soft stuff - people, and how we work, play, learn and create things, together. For me, I learned this in a counter‐intuitive way and it substantially transformed my life. Well, being good at numbers did not really prepare me for what I, all too quickly, encountered. You have to take their money and calculate quickly - very quickly - and sometimes involving substantial amounts of money. Yeah, it was kind of a lose-lose situation And why is this??

Top 10 How-to Cooking Videos - Food One the subject of Chalice Chicken (beer can, thrown, whatever your family calls it): It is not the moisture in the can that keeps the chicken moist and juicy. It is the can and the liquids mass that absorb the heat in the center of the bird, lengthening the cooking time of the breast meat to ensure the meat is not over cooked before the thighs have cooked through. The target temp of the breast is about 160, and the thighs about 180. Pull early and let carry over do the rest. Basting will dry out the chicken by lengthening the cooking time. If the bird doesnt brown the way you like during one of your experiments, use a propane torch and brown the skin. They now sell a can holder for this cooking method. My favorite wash is soy and cock sauce.

Spicy, Sweet and Vinegary Noodles (Bibim Guksu) at My Korean Kitchen This bibim guksu (비빔국수) is something I am very much enjoying making and eating lately. I made this 5 times last week already.

Its main taste comes from the sauce, which has a slightly spicy, sweet and sour taste, and the fragrance from the sesame oil is another pleasant experience. Bibim guksu is a popular Korean summer dish, because the spicy and sour taste rejuvenates your lost appetite in drowsy hot humid summer days.
