			<title><![CDATA[Orange Sesame Tofu Recipe]]></title>

<div style='text-align: center;'><a href=''><img src='http://cre.ations.net/image/view/160/3602' /></a></div><i>Created by <a href='http://cre.ations.net/creator/natetrue'>natetrue</a> 4 weeks ago</i>: &quot;A while ago I started playing with tofu and cooking it in various ways.  I fell in love with this delicious Ginger Sesame sauce and tried preparing tofu in it.  It was delicious, but the main ingredient in that sauce was high fructose corn syrup, and we know how unhealthy that is.  So I set out to make a delicious and healthy all-natural version.

This recipe uses frozen tofu, which you make out of extra firm tofu, frozen and then thawed.  But we'll start with the ingredients:

Ingredient list (sauce):
- 4 tbsp Orange juice concentrate
- 5 tbsp Reduced sodium soy sauce (if using normal soy sauce, don't add salt)
- 4 tbsp Toasted sesame oil (can use normal sesame/olive/vegetable oil + use toasted sesame seeds instead of raw)
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp Raw sesame seeds (can use toasted sesame seeds for more flavor)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp Ground ginger (can use equivalent amount of fresh ginger, not sure how much that is)
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tbsp Lite salt...&quot;<p><a href='http://cre.ations.net/creation/orange-sesame-tofu-recipe'>Read the rest of this post</a></p>

<div style='text-align: center;'><a href=''><img src='http://cre.ations.net/image/view/160/3559' /></a></div><i>Created by <a href='http://cre.ations.net/creator/seemanta'>seemanta</a> 6 weeks ago</i>: &quot;This POV toy was inspired by the Binary/POV clock by Natetrue which fascinated me very much.
For this project, I have used an ATMEL AT89S52 microcontroller which is based upon the 8052 core.

I have used a column of 8 LEDs for creating the POV effect. The code for this is quite simple and so I  have not bothered to post it here. You can post a comment if you want it. 

Initially it was not working properly because the delay I had used between lighting up each column was about 40 milliseconds.

Then after some searching on the net for similar POV toys led me to believe 10 milliseconds might be a good delay. 

And sure enough, 10 milliseconds made it work. I guess that it is the optimum speed taking into consideration the speed of the moving arm.

So here it is, my latest POV toy. Comments are welcome!

Then iPhone firmware 2.0 came out and turned everything on its head!  I had to completely rewrite Dock in order to get it working in 2.0, and of course, I added some handy extra features along the way.

http://blip.tv/file/get/Natetrue-Dock31Demo814.flv

Features, you say?  Dock:
 - Sorts apps by categories, making large amounts of apps easy to manage
 - Imports Favorites entries from Phone with pictures, into the &quot;Speed Dial&quot; category
 - Can be disabled in specific applications
 - Has a Prefs app that lets you quickly categorize apps the way you want them
 - Has two &quot;sunburst&quot; modes for even quicker switching
 - Can see apps hidden by Poof

2. Daily/Hourly Alarm
3. Ambient temperature display.
4. Customizable display(User can control whether he wants both time and temperature, only temperature,only time display or neither time nor temperature to be displayed).This is achieved via a very simple DIP interface.

&quot;Burr puzzles are interlocking puzzles known in Europe and Asia since at least the 18th century.&quot;

I first picked &quot;David Winkler's favorite level 5 burr&quot;. This is a &quot;notchable&quot; burr meaning you can construct it entirely by notching the pieces. I used a bit of red-oak I had laying around. This burr is 6 units long, 2 wide. The unit size in my case is 3/8&quot; which I found a good size.

It is a Fujitsu Lifebook P1120. An 800MHz Transmetta Crusoe processor, 256Mb of ram directly soldered to the board, and ATi Radeon Moble. It was barely powerful enough to play a decent quality movie, but it could play one for almost 3 hours, with the volume up all the way. It had built-in wifi, 30gb hard drive, super-battery life, and a touch screen. I will not buy another laptop without a touch screen.
I don't know where the before pictures are,  I think I took them right before my parents used my camera. Who knows.
Anyways, I didn't like the greyish purple color of it, so I decided to paint it.
Krylon Fusion for the blue, and Krylon smei-gloss black primer, as well as more than 20 coats of Krylon clearcoat(can you tell I like Krylon yet?)
