Fables, traditions, and a favorite story. Also, Diggs' digs, an Apple story about the iPod and the energy department, the 20th Century Fox fanfare, Maggie links to shrinking penises, and Swift Collections.

What I'm doing instead of working on the app I should be working on.

What you do vs what you are. Hookup regrets, wakes (in the water), Wes Anderson's style, Maggie's link to stars and burning trash, and Vincent Pradeille's videos. Oh and Maggie's new job.

Here's what I'm most looking forward to at tomorrow's Apple April Event.

I found today's Apple event jarring - the style was not for me. Also, the Approachable Loaf of bread, giant arrows across America, Jackie Robinson's lesser-known legacies, Maggie's links to two food stories, and a Stewart Lynch tutorial.

As spring vegetables start to appear I find myself trying new recipes again. You'll find Cucumber-Daikon, a Carrot Slaw, and Squash Blossoms on seewhatsonmyplate.com.

One way to get consistent results when baking bread is to make sure the dough temperature is the same after mixing each time. Here's an explanation of the what, how, and why and a link to a free simple app I've written for iOS.

Why shopping local is trickle down that works. Squash blossoms and other recipes, my new Dough Temperature app, melting metal with bacon, a benefit cooking demo, seeing breakups coming, Sundell on for loops, Maggie's link to an interesting trailer, and David Smith makes shortbread.

The new Podcasts app makes it harder for me to do the typical things I do as a podcast listener. An end-user should be able to focus on their task and not the app that allows them to accomplish it.
