http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/01/tomato-sauce-with-butter-and-onions/

Serves 4 as a main course; makes enough sauce to lightly coat most of a pound of spaghetti

28 ounces (800 grams) whole peeled tomatoes from a can (San Marzano, if you can find them)*
5 tablespoons (70 grams) unsalted butter
1 medium-sized yellow onion, peeled and halved
Salt to taste

Put the tomatoes, onion and butter in a heavy saucepan (it fit just right in a 3-quart) over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a simmer then lower the heat to keep the sauce at a slow, steady simmer for about 45 minutes, or until droplets of fat float free of the tomatoes. Stir occasionally, crushing the tomatoes against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat, discard the onion, add salt to taste (you might find, as I did, that your tomatoes came salted and that you didn’t need to add more) and keep warm while you prepare your pasta.

Serve with spaghetti, with or without grated parmesan cheese to pass.

I have a Belkin Omniview SOHO 2 port DVI-USB KVM switch. And it sucks. It sucks donkey cock. The ports on the back are much to close together, to the point that it is actually hard to get all 3 DVI cables connected. Then, once you do get it connected, it will spray a nice bit of stack on any webpage that is black text on a white background, or similar. The static will just be on the text, making it hard to read.

I replace it with an IOGEAR MiniView DVI KVM, GCS1782, and could not be happier. It has a better form factor,and enough space on the back for all the connections. It also has way more connections, 7.1 channel audio, and an auxiliary usb connector.

Art for Art's Sake

I used a Derby Extra. I didn’t like it that much, but had nothing against it. I swapped to a 7am next, that thing didn’t seem to get a very close shave. I swapped that one back for another Derby Extra. I cut the heck out of my face, and it sucked as far as closeness went to. I’m now back on Wilkinson Sword, and I have to say its marked improvement in smoothness and closeness of shave. I really need to get around to trying some of those wicked sharp japanese blades i’ve read about.
