I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.

Hey everybody who ever loved a video game: take a moment right now and say a little prayer for Rebecca, to whom you owe much.
I never thought I’d get this wish. Odd seeing eulogies before I expire

It was so amazing to get to be part of trying all this stuff out the first time. How do we make texture maps? How do we do mocap? How do we make fire that looks real? Physics? Huge worlds? Portals? Figuring this shit out was insanely great.

I’ll put it more simply: my first (and best) aerobatic flight instructor looked me in the eye before our first lesson and said: “remember, airplanes really like the ground. They really really like the ground.”
Aviation is inherently dangerous: a million pounds of metal and fuel magically flying at 500mph. The engineering and systems we have developed are just amazing and have given everyone the idea that it’s all cheap and safe. It ain’t. It’s expensive and it requires constant vigilance and organization.

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION.
Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see.
Anyway, off we go!
