    I have a Minilab, which I use in conjunction with Reaper. It's been a great little device for getting down whatever melodies, drum rhythms, or just little synth experiments for random plug-ins. The knobs and pads can be set to control all sorts of parameters or samples, the pads are velocity sensitive, and the whole unit is pretty compact. Not sure I'd call it intuitive per se, and it's not really standalone as it requires a usb connection to a computer, but it's been a delight the whole time.

    For the last few weeks, I've been making my own corn tortillas. Initially just for Taco Tuesday, but I've started to incorporate them into breakfasts throughout the week. Originally just masa, salt, and water, but now I've thrown some lard into the mix and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Still searching for the best dough consistency to get bubbly charred goodness, but it's nearly there!

    This gave me flashbacks to running out of fuel right before a Mun touchdown and praying the whole thing doesn't just tumble and evaporate. Still counts as a successful landing!

    My favorite Christmas song by far is The Hives and Cyndi Lauper - A Christmas Duel. I feel it accurately conveys the spirit of the holidays!
