Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories - Cooking for Geeks

Here are the latest updates for omsstraffic.4321@blogger.com

"Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories" - 1 new article

Cooking for Geeks

Woo-hoo! We just got Cooking for Geeks in the mail. You can view it as a cookbook that takes time to delve into the science of the recipes or a food science book with demonstrative recipes. Or maybe an introduction to everything that food geeks know about, but everyone else wishes they did. It also has a series of interviews with geeks, chefs and scientists-- including us, but I'm not sure which of those categories we fit into. Regardless, we enjoyed talking with Jeff about the book and are happy to see it out in print!

The cover design with splatter marks and stains means less worry when it gets spilled on in the process of cooking (not that I've ever worried about that with any of my other cookbooks).

Most pages have ample room for margin notes, which is something I'm fond of for recipe alterations. It flops open on the counter well, too.

We got a nice shoutout from Jeff on NPR's Science Friday last week for the laser cut pie crust from our Apple pie, which is featured in the book along with our electrocuted hot dogs. Thanks, Jeff, and congrats on getting the book out there!

How a 16-yo Kid Made His First Million Dollars Following His Hero, Steve Jobs

By Jesus Diaz

How a 16-yo Kid Made His First Million Dollars Following His Hero, Steve Jobs

How a 16-yo Kid Made His First Million Dollars Following His Hero, Steve Jobs His name: Christian Owens. His age: 16. He made his first million dollars in two years, "inspired by Apple's CEO Steve Jobs". This is how he did it.

The British teen—who lives in Corby, Northamptonshire—got his first computer age seven. Three years later he got a Mac and taught himself web design. Four years later—at age 14, in 2008—he started his first company. It was a simple site that some of you may now: Mac Bundle Box. The site was pretty, rooted into Apple's own design guidelines and style.

How a 16-yo Kid Made His First Million Dollars Following His Hero, Steve Jobs The page sold a package of very neat Mac OS X applications for a discounted price and for a limited time. He would negotiate with the developers to get a discount deal on their apps. The resulting bundle had a combined retail value of around $400, but he would sell it for a tenth of that price.

Not only that: If enough people bought the package, a new application would get unlocked for all buyers, which guaranteed very good word-of-mouth promotion. And to top it all, Owens dedicated a percentage of all sales to charity.

The idea did well. Very well, in fact: In its first two years, Mac Bundle Box made $1,000,000 (700,000 British Pounds).

Not happy with that success, Owens jumped into a new venture called Branchr, a pay-per-click advertising company that distributes 300 million ads per month on over 17,500 websites, iPhone, and Android applications. The company, which claims to deliver "contextual, behavioral, publisher-defined, and geographically" targeted ads in those platforms, has already made $800,000 in its first year and employs eight adults including his 43-year-old mother, Alison.

He doesn't know where he would be in 10 years, but the next thing he wants to do is to make one hundred million British pounds with Branchr. He seems to be on his way to success. He claims his business is growing strong—Branchr has already bought another company—and he reinvests all the money back into the company.

His secret to success? There's no secret, he says:
