KitchenAid Pro 600 Mixer for $290

kitchenaid-600-red

Amazon is running a great sale on the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixers for today only. It appears only certain colors are included in the sale: Nickel Pearl, Empire Red, Licorice & Meringue; choose carefully.

Update: The sale is over, but there’s often a substantial price break on certain colors. Check with Amazon to see the various options. The little preview you get when hovering on links here lists the price as $499, but that’s just retail. It’s usually much less.

We love our now-discontinued KitchenAid mixer (the old Williams-Sonoma model just above the current Artisan), but sometimes a bit more power and a bit bigger bowl would be nice…

Dr. Horrible. Catch it while you can…

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

A new project from Joss Whedon (Buffy / Firefly / etc ). Highly, highly recommended. Catch it while you can; the videos are going dark at midnight, Sunday the 20th. After that, they’ll be available for download for a fee (iTunes?) and eventually there will be a DVD.

Three Years & Counting

On Wednesday, Mandy & I celebrated our third wedding anniversary with a baby-sitter and a night out at Max London’s. The food was wonderful as always, as was the company. It’s been a crazy, wonderful three years and wouldn’t trade a minute of it for anything.

Linus on OpenBSD

Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can’t stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

–Linus Torvalds

I don’t really know the current OpenBSD folks well enough to agree or disagree, but it sure is funny.

Mike Doughty doing Fort Hood Live

over on YouTube. Mike and Scrap playing it in Seattle. I like it even better than the album version…

Found while poking through Songza.
