I am a web designer, theme designer, professional photographer and internet personality. I make many pretty things and I write a lot of content for the internet.

I am one of those guys that, because of the industry I am in, need to be connected at all times. At any given moment you'll find me posting on a forum, updating with twitter, Digging things worthy of attention, uploading pictures, or tagging cool sites.

I am the owner and operator of seyDoggy Systems, a small theme, code and design outfit based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. We primarily develop web based technologies but have begun to dabble in the desktop realm.

what i do

I code like a fool. I design like a fool. I am happiest when I can split my time between the two (though I tire of Photoshop faster then I do TextMate or Terminal), and somehow I have managed to etch out a living doing so.

Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

Ingredients

  1. 5-6 lb. pork shoulder/pork butt
  2. 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  3. 1 cup ketchup
  4. 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  5. 1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Place onion on the bottom of your slow cooker. Place pork shoulder, trimmed of any obvious excess fat, into slow cooker on top of onions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all remaining ingredients to form the barbecue sauce. Feel free to adjust salt and pepper to taste, if necessary. Pour half of the sauce over the pork and cover. Set remaining sauce aside.
  3. Cook over low heat for about 8 hours (or according to your slow cooker’s presets).
  4. Remove pork to a large bowl and shred with two forks. Transfer meat back into slow cooker and cook for a few more minutes, until meat has soaked up the sauce. Pulled pork can be held on the “warm” setting in the slow cooker for serving.
  5. Serve on soft sandwich rolls, topped with extra barbecue sauce.

One of My Favorite Herbs

Drying CelantroKnow what this is? Only one of the finest herbs the planet! This is some cilantro (coriander) that I have been drying for a few weeks. I intend to crush it up into powder for the cupboard as well as mix some with some curry powder and olive oil for a ready-made curry paste with an aromatic punch.

This paste is great for for Tai Red Curry Soups. The cilantro counters the excessive sweetness that the coconut milk brings to the soup.

I don’t just dry my cilantro though. Some of gets used fresh (or course the best way), but because cilantro comes in such huge bunches I will often chop it up and store it in the fridge, packed in olive oil. This way it’s ready to be added by the spoonful to any dish and it’s almost as good as fresh.

Here is a tip for making the kids palettes a little more sophisticated; try adding a teaspoon of chopped cilantro to their Kraft Dinner. If their anything like my kids, they will love it.
