Someone's been Frenching in the forest

Sunset in Seattle tonight was a great reminder of why I love living here.

Bob Ross tutorials also work on cake. This information may be valuable during the revolution.

Who caffeinated the orange juice in the first place?

The expensive part of steak tartare is no longer the steak

Remember: the people who want to shut down education are never the good guys.

Fantastic conference for marketers and founders. Tickets will sell out quickly. I'll see you there!

I built this machine to test knife sharpness, but when you have a pair of dental models & a bag of snacks lying around, nature finds a way.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! So proud of @heylizzied.bsky.social, Product Lead for Science AI at Google Research. She's an inspiration to women and girls in STEM, and an inspiration to me, too. (Plus, I love invitations written to *Dr.* Dorfman & Mr. Heimendinger)

I bought 21 of the most popular chef's knives and programmed a robot to cut food while measuring the resistance. The open-source results are available on my site.

You know the best part of doing the most challenging technical work of my entire career against the backdrop of a fascist coup an a relentless news cycle? The accidental electric shocks and knife eounds hardly nudge my blood pressure.

The best part about cooking sous vide (or in a combi oven) is popping in a few steaks and then taking a bath of your own. Don't try that move on a grill.

I don't ask for much, but could we please get some Dharma Initiative food and beer in the Severance break room, @benstiller.redhour.com ?

This is SaberBot, the pneumatic champagne sabering robot. I built the original for Modernist Cuisine to capture high speed photography of the flying cork. This updated version sabered bottles of the roof of Seattle's fanciest restaurant for New Years.
