Ramen recipe database

Publié le par

I had a certain period in my life where high cost of living, co-location of a small kitchen and limited personal time made me a rather satisfied advocate of Ramen and tuna as the basis of one’s alimentation (with Lindt chocolate and gruyère). (forget Atkins, I lost 20 pounds on that stuff)

If I’m ever nostalgic, there is a database of Ramen noodles recipes. Quite imaginative. And I do have to try the Ramen Trail Mix next time I need Gorp. Other imaginative recipe titles? What about Ramen & Chicken in Vodka Sauce or Death Valley Ramen Treat?

Oldie but a goodie on « modern » copyright

Cla pointed me to this LawMeme article about AOL’s view on the bathroom break during commercials. I remember reading about the article in the spring, but I didn’t blog and I forgot about it.

Quite a gem. LawMeme suggest 10 new copyright infringements, including changing radio stations when a commercial comes on or arriving late to the movies and missing the previews.

This does a pretty good job in illustrating the song « We didn’t start the fire ».

It has always somehow fascinated me that this song does indeed fast forward through 40 years of american history.

The little flash thing isn’t perfect. Or maybe it’s my player. It seems to miss a couple verses though. Maybe it’s my permanent-beta flash player

Anyways, is this a copyright infringement? It does contain the whole song… and quite a few of these images are also copyrighted. Enjoy while it’s still up. As far as I’m concerned, it’s pretty educational though.
There was an great page on AOL that hyperlinked the lyrics with relevant web pages but it’s 404 now. Fear not, here’s the Wayback machine to the rescue.

[don’t know who to credit for this, I saw it all over the place last week and this w-e I remembered about the hyperlinked lyrics web page (that I originally saw on Memepool) which made this a somewhat value added post]
