Thai Food Hack - How to Make Coconut Milk!
I have to admit that I have been blessed with lots of desire to learn new types of food. Lately, I have been mastering the art of making Thai food, my favorite is Tom Kha Gai, which of course, requires some coconut milk.
Although I have heard that coconut milk is simply the juice from the coconut milk, I have never seen it in person but I did find this cool food hack on how to make coconut milk.

I think coconut milk has amazing taste when you make Thai food. Of course, there’s many other Asian dishes you can make too but most of coconut milk in the world are still coming from Thailand.
Later on, I will have to post some pics on how to make Tom Kha Gai, it’s really good.
Squeeze out the ambrosia. They call it milk but it’s a lot like cream. Use it for cooking, making umbrella drinks. The mix of fats goes well with the deepwater fish you speared under that navigation buoy with your giant speargun.
DIY HACK - HOWTO sense Squeeze!


Ohhh….. here’s a really cool DIY HACK that can sense your squeeze. (This might be good for making an adult-related game…then again…)
I’m researching squeeze sensing as a mode of tactile interface. Here I will cover the process of developing a squeezeable sensor and the firmware/software concerns associated with interpreting the data from the sensor. This fulfills the “sensor project” for my class called Computational Principles in Media Arts taught in AME at ASU by Todd Ingalls and Hari Sundaram.
First off, how do we sense “squeeze?” People squeeze all kinds of things: lemons, steering wheels, loved ones, toothpaste and other toiletries, pimples, stress balls, hand exercisers. I would like to focus on the latter two, which provide a therapeutic activity for those with Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). Using flex sensors arranged in a certain pattern on a spherical object, in this case a rubber dog toy, one can capture whenever the ball is squeezed. Here’s a sketch of the sensor layout:
Revisiting GM Highwire - car that runs on saltwater

As I played some golf today at Lincoln Park for the first time in like 5 months, I met this cool guy who tipped me about the GM Highwire that runs on saltwater. But that’s not all, you have no pedals. You tilt the handle to accelerate and squeeze to stop. The whole thing runs on hydrogen fuel and exhaust water instead of carbon monoxide.
This car is so advanced, you can drive it on the right passenger side or left passenger side simply moving the handle via its control buttons…
