The original Ping was painfully written in Perl.

How to Boil Water

There’s a new cooking show in town… or, at least, on my TV… that I like. It’s How to Boil Water on the Food Network.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but came to like it. The show teaches super basics of cooking and baking, stuff that you really should know going forward. The premise? A real chef and a total novice make the same dish, with Chef Frederic teaching co-host Lynn Koplitz how to do it properly. There are some nice, practical tips here and there. It’s no substitute for a real live cooking instructor or teacher, but helps with the basics.

I’ll be on Iron Chef in weeks. Just you wait.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
