Not much tonight as I need to get some sleep. I tried making a 165-degree-egg per this interview with Hervé This; it turned out quite well, though not exactly what I was expecting. I got the jelly-like egg white part (it hadn’t hardened up like a normal hard-boiled egg), and delicately-cooked-but-hard yolk, which I wasn’t expecting. Then, I discovered that the ‘first level’ of boiled egg is 65 degrees Celsius (149-150 degrees F), not 165 degrees F. So although the eggs were good, I’ll have to try again. It was hard enough keeping the pot of water at 165 degrees — the pot was half off the burner, which was at its lowest setting — so it’ll be interesting trying to figure out how to keep the pot at a steady 150 degrees for an hour.

- This new item from Sony looks cool — it’s kind of like a photo-frame version of a Chumby. With Wifi, ability to pull a Picasa photo album, RSS feeds, and internet radio (!?). We’ll have to see once it starts showing up in stores.
