Question #1 - What to do with hotdogs other than in a bun?
- t
- Tela T. Oct 5, 2005 03:31 PM
We have two full packages of hotdogs in the freezer from a party we had this summer. With just two of us - putting even four in buns leaves 6 - any suggestions - hopefully more healthy than the way my mother used to serve them (stuffed with cheddar cheese and a piece of bacon on top and then cooked in the oven!) - good but a heart-stopper!
re: withalonge
So good with good kosher hot dogs and Bush's baked beans, it's delightful. Truly tasty. The bits of hot dog get so plump cooking in the bean juice. True redneck righteousness.
re: emiloo
We used to get salami and eggs, which I still see on deli menus. Hot dogs and eggs sounds good, too.
re: emiloo
This was going to be my suggestion, my dad made it for breakfast all the time when I was a kid and I still love it.
re: emiloo
I had breakfast at a local Guatemalan place, and ordered "huevos revueltos con salchichas," not knowing any words but "huevos" and "con." I didn't know exactly what to expect, but braced myself for a broadening experience. Nope, hot dogs and eggs. And it was good!
"Weiners and kraut" was a staple of my semi-deprived childhood - just heated up together in a pan and served with boiled potatoes, butter on the side. Many years later, when we were visiting wife's relatives in France, I insisted that we have BOTH potatoes and choucroute with a supper of blood sausage. They'd never done such a thing - one or the other was the rule - but the meal was a success. And I thought, "Thanks, Mom."
Must say that mashed potatoes are the better choice...
re: rudeboy
The Korean soup is called buddae jjige, and is a development from the Korean War and the aftermath. Many American military members would give excess foods like spam, hot dogs, and sausages to Korean families who lived near military bases. The Koreans would add these "surplus foods" to a soup or stew and so a new dish was born (buddae means military base roughly, and jjigae is soup or stew - so base soup).
re: REDCAT
Ah yes. Those bits of pineapple and chunks of green pepper. And that sauce!
I think I remember seeing that dish on a sub-way station floor once. Guess some one had 'spilled' it. LOL
The old Horn and Hardart Automats used to serve a hot dog resting in the best baked beans I've ever had. I can still summon up a menmory of the taste, even after 50 years.
I actually just saw an episode of Colameco's Food Show on PBS where he made two types of casseroles with hotdogs, which he claimed were southern style. One casserole had ground beef, a can of baked beans, bacon, and some other things added to it. The second casserole was basically Hotdogs, bourbon, brown sugar, ketcup, and crushed red pepper. I couldn't tell you if either of these are any good, but you can probably find the recipe online.
re: Evan
I remember this show as well. Recipes above.
re: Carlywood
We did something similar, but without the soy sauce and sugar. Just simply sliced up in disks and "fried" in a non stick pan and eaten with rice. Sometimes also served with a fried egg and rice for breakfast.
re: Kivarita
This - so good. When we moved to America and had friends sleep over during grade school, this was a complete revelation to them. When sliced thinly enough and cooked until crisp, it was like bacon.
re: jessicheese
Sorry - for me it's gotta be the old straight-noodle kind in the skinny box. Either that or really good made-from-scratch - I don't see the point of anything in between.
But yeah - cut up weenies in it. Another cheap treat I introduced my wife to...
Like most other posters, I have childhood memories of eating hot dogs that were sliced into chunks and cooked with home fries with onions and green peppers.
It was a great Saturday afternoon lunch while we were working in the yard.
The BACON BURRITO DOG.
This is my favorite dog. I have made these at home using Nathans Natural Casing Hot Dogs. But it is not my idea. The first time I saw these was in Hollywood at Pinks Hot Dogs. They are great. I add jalapeño to give the little burro some kick.

My Hungarian mother used to make hot dog paprikash. It is still a comfort food favourite for me - on a rainy night in November, there's nothing better.
Saute an onion in some veg. oil. You could add a chopped green or red pepper too, if you have it. Throw in a bunch of hot dogs cut into 1-inch chunks (maybe 6 or 8), a few potatoes (4-ish?) cut into chunks, and plenty of Hungarian paprika, salt and pepper. Stir around to coat everything, then add enough water to come about halfway up the side of the pan. Cover and cook until the potatoes are done. Fab and cheap.
Oh yeah - one other thing. You can cut them into 1/2 -inch pieces and microwave them on a plate until hard and crunchy. They're great dog snacks.
re: Will Owen
My vote is crescent rolls, but to duplicate the taste of my youth, first split the dogs partway through and stuff the crevice with cheese. I can taste them now!
re: Barb in NC
this also works with a slighty flattened refridgerator biscuit...
re: Karl S.
i've tried this recently and ruined a jambalaya, as a result. they're much different than sausages, in taste & texture. i would not suggest using them freely as you would a sausage.
re: check please
Well, putting a hot dog in to replace andouille would obviously produce something different. Many (not all) people might like it if you did not call it jambalaya; just like if I used frankfurters instead of chourico in my kale soup, I'd probably add more red pepper but would still not call it caldo verde, but it would still be yummy in its own way. My only point is that Americans can get very fussy about relegating many foods to an unnecessarily narrow list of uses.
Frankfurters, like most sausages, can be poached, pan-fried and grilled (though in Germany, tradition might oblige you to pair certain wursts with certain ways of cooking). So they can be used in a wide variety of ways. All the more if you have some skin-on types that are full of flavor.
As a student, I found the one meat I could afford and that did not perish quickly in the communal frig was hot dogs (specifically, the wonderful skin-on Hebrew National links I would get from my parent's butchers). I made those things last a looooong time, cooking them and slicing them razor thin on the bias to add to all sorts of dishes to give the impression of meat otherwise lacking. (How many variations on frozen mixed vegetables, shaped pasta and those dogs I could not begin to calculate....) 25 years later, it still works when I think of it from time to time.
Halve them lengthwise, and use them to line a baking dish for mac & cheese. Save one to butterfly for on top of the dish.
You can add onions, pickles, or both to the mac.
Why the Crown Roast of Frankfurter of course :)
Weiner soup. Saw it in a Japanese cooking magazine. I was working at a summer Japanese language immersion program and showed the photo to the head chef. She loved it and made it about once a week. The kids loved it too - huge hit.
chicken stock
Basically a chicken vegetable soup - but with chopped up weinies instead of chicken. Sounds strange but good stuff.
All those centuries of figuring out what combination of meats worked with what ingredients and methods of cooking have surely brought the art of sausages to a much better place than American hot dogs (kosher included). Many of the recipes mentioned below are take-offs from classics that were so much better with the real thing - bratwursts, bauernwursts, etcetc...
Sausages were always a way of using up the otherwise unusable meat and by-products, so it's not an issue of the quality of the content, as it is the factory processing, additives, lack of spices, etc...
Nevertheless, in the spirit of using up your trove of dogs, let me suggest making up some curry-ketchup - just mixing in some curry powder into ketchup - as strong or light as you like. At roadside stands and other stand-up eateries, Germans will take a grilled wurst and slice it up into chunks and serve it in a paper boat with a toothpick and a glop of curry-ketchup. Much better with rost-brats, but certainly another way to use the dogs up.
re: pilotgirl210
One of my mom's favorite Better Homes & Gardens-sourced dishes was split weenies stuffed with regular mashed potatoes (garlic was still something only Foreigners ate) and topped with strips of pimento, heated in the oven until just crusty enough to REALLY taste like leftovers. Yummy yummy...
At least now you know why I'll eat damn near anything.
re: Will Owen
What time was that, Will, that you said dinner would be served?....tee hee. To be honest, we didn't use garlic mashed potatoes in my youth, either. They were usually left-over *spuds* from the previous night's dinner. But -- and don't you DARE tell anyone -- these days if I'm short on time I'll buy the Ore-Ida mashed garlic potato packets and darned if they aren't really, really good. A quick and easy side dish....especially if I'm cooking in my r.v. My dad, God rest his soul, owned a potato-processing plant and he would turn over in his grave if a) he caught me using dehydrated potatoes....and b) he caught me buying ANYTHING with an ORE-IDA label!!! We rarely had dessert at our house. Dad would just encourage guests to have a second helping of potatoes to *keep the market up*. lol
I see that this post has been dead for over a year. Well, here goes anyway.
How about for Hors De' Oeuvres. Theres the old teeny weinies in BBQ sauce, or my fav. "Red hot pennies" where you cut the dogs into pennie sized pieces and brown them lightly in a fry pan with in a very small amount of butter, then add a whole bottle of hot sauce and reduce till the sauce is a very thick paste then serve with toothpicks. Whoo Yeah.
Carefull now, know your heat limit, also that some sauces start out hotter than others, and could end up like paint remover.
Whenever my husband was forced to make dinner for the kids it would always be kraft dinner with weiners smothered in Heinz tomato soup. Has to be heinz not cambells. Kids loved it.
my aunt slices spicy sausages on the bias, nukes them for a few seconds on a paper towel and then wraps them in romaine lettuce leaves. pretty tasty actually. if your hot dogs are not flavorful enough, you might want to consider sprinkling some garlic salt and pepper on them before nuking.
just last night I wrapped them in pie crust dough and baked them until they were browned. The kids loved them.
re: susanl143
I have to agree. My mum nearly always put sliced frankfurters into lentil soup. Although I haven't had it like that in years and am going to have to try and do it myself sometime soon as it was always a favourite.
re: mitchenall
My grandfather always made split pea soup with flanken, hot dogs, barley...I too keep meaning to try to recreate it. I might follow a recipe calling for all of the above ingredients from Mimi Sheraton's "From My Mother's Kitchen."
I heard last weekend that cooking them up and then adding them to boiled or roasted potatoes, adding a little fresh herb and fried garlic or onion was good as well.
Make hot-dog fried rice. Thinly slice hot dogs. Then saute a little onion, garlic and sliced mushroom until the onions are golden and the mushrooms are cooked. Add the hot dog slices, and once the hot dog slices are slightly crispy, add rice. Toss rice around until well heated or crispy, while seasoning with either fish sauce or "Maggi" sauce. Garnish with a small amount of sliced green onion.
Sometimes I have the urge for a Pogo (Corn Dog or Pronto Pup if in U.S I believe) Not the healthiest but really delicious. Brings back memories of going to a chip(french fry) stand in North Eastern Canada and having a Pogo with a box of chips with tons of salt and vinegar... Yum..
Here is a simple batter:
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
Mix until smooth with Mixer or by hand.
Plop wooden stick into dog, then plop into batter. Fry @ 350 until golden.. 3-4 minutes.
haven't tried it but recipie I got from a friend:
Hotdogs & Mac
Slice up 3 or 4 hotdogs in 1/4 inch pieces. Brown them in a skillet. Add 1 3/4 cups of water & 1/4 cup of milk, 1 pkg of mac & cheese. Stir all that in and let it come to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and let simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until mac is tender. Add the cheese sauce & 2 tbsp of butter. Stir until well mixed and heated thru.
re: geminigirl
If you have kids, you can make mac and cheese w/ shells. Then cut hotdogs lengthwise into 8 slivers, leaving about 2" at top whole. Use it as an octopus, with mustard as the eyes and mouth. Place on top and sprinkle w/ goldfish crackers. Works for a nautilus birthday theme.
I've talked about having a giant-sized appetizer dinner making things like giant pigs in blanket (using bread dough), giant deviled egg (with an ostrich egg), etc.
re: chowser
Stumbled onto this ancient post while browsing for non-bun hotdog recipes ~ loving your 'giant appetizer' party idea!
re: jbyoga
A hot dog smoothie?
re: jbyoga
My husbands grandmother use to make "curled dogs". She would slice them lengthwise and put them in a pan & sautee. She would then add tomatoe sauce/puree and cook away. The dogs curl when cooking due to the way you slice them. (For kids you can make octo-dogs by slicing into 6 sections lengthwise 2/3 way up- when they curl they look like octopusi)...
They really aren't that bad.
Another fav of mine is pigs in a blanket. Roll dogs in crescent rolls and bake... I love my dogs this way. I have even added some condiments prior to baking... just spread onto rolls prior to rolling around dog.s
Forgot one more that I've posted in the past--heart attacks. Wrap w/ bacon, sprinkle w/ brown sugar, broil until bacon is done. Always a hit.
as others mentioned above, hot dogs and beans
I also have enjoyed on occasion:
hotdogs split in half lengthwise in a grilled cheese sandwich
sliced hotdogs in canned spaghetti
sliced hotdogs in mac-n-cheese
the hotdogs have to be either Best Kosher, or Hebrew National for me.
You all have made me remember hot dogs steamed on top of rice, Chinese style. Yes, just like lap cheong. I believe that was served with a fried egg on top.
Pizza topping - in Rome it's called "Wurster", I believe, but it's simply sliced up hot dogs for the most part.
One other idea - a mousse. I haven't seen this done with a hot dog per se, but I have tasted a mortadella mousse used as a crostini topping and dip. Not sure what else was in it (not much since the mortadella was really prominent) but it was really quite good. Imagine you could try same with hotdogs.
Maybe do a little Ferranesque experimentation... deconstruct a Chicago dog with some of the mousse, a corchinon, a dab of tomato paste served on a celery stick? (not sure how to handle the flourescent green relish though).
I haven't had a hot dog in years. However, I was a great fan of them as a kid. My mom would saute slivers of hot dog and julienned potato together and season them with salt and pepper. That was delicious. I would also eat hot dogs in Korean gim-bap (sushi rolls) in place of Spam at times. We also had them in oma-rice -- fried rice with hot dogs, potatoes, onions, peas, carrots and ketchup covered by an omelet.
Crescent dogs are the best. I don't use cheese because it gets everywhere. Brush a little beaten egg white on top and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt. Maybe a few shreds of cheddar on top of that for texture but you don't really need it. Bake longer than the package says unless you like them doughy. I serve with a dipping sauce of equal parts Best Foods mayo, French's yellow mustard and Grey Poupon dijon mustard. (the grainy kind... I think it's called country style.
Serve with Trader Joe's Salt & Vinegar chips. Delish and comforting.
Quick saute diagonal cut dogs and asparagus; finish with sauce of reduced red wine, soy sauce, touch of honey, chili to taste.
I am disappointed to see that no one has mentioned the Twinkie wiener sandwich. According to UHF this is a hot dog inserted into a halved Twinkie and topped with easy cheese.
Weird Al ate it dipped in milk.
I have never been able to bring myself to try it.
Another along those lines is the old weight Watcher Frankfurter Spectacular. If you chowhounds haven't seen these recipes and commentaries, I'd highly recommend it. I nearly cried I was laughing so hard the first time I looked at them
When I was in college, my roommate used to make what she called Italian hot dogs. She'd sautee cubed potatoes and diced green bell peppers until the potatoes were golden brown, slice up the hot dogs and add them to the mix until cooked, and put the whole thing on Italian bread.
If you have a sandwich maker it works better for this recipe.
Poor mans pizza:
bread, butter, sliced cheese, chopped up hotdog, pizza sauce.
butter bread like you would for a grilled cheese.
put a spoon of pizza sauce on the inside.
spread around hot dogs.
add cheese. (block cheese tastes better, but your call)
cook in a sandwich maker to make little pockets for best results.
cook until golden brown. depending on the machine might take a little longer.
let sit for a min or so before you cut and eat. it will be VERY hot.
use your fav condiment to dip in.
My fav is ranch or ketchup.
My son loves to go to one of his friends house because the dad always makes Fenway franks, wrapped in cheese and wrapped in pop-n-fresh crescent rolls and baked.Served with honey mustard and catsup.
We just recently started experimenting making pretzels dogs but they are pretty meh. I need to get better at the pretzel part.
probably disgusting to everyone but when i was young i'd fry them up and add some sugar and eat it with rice. :)
Not sure why I'm bothering with an 8 year old thread but whatever. I don't get the problem here. Cut open the package from the freezer and cook however many you need at that meal. Although I don't see the issue with there being 6 extra hotdogs left over even if they were thawed in the fridge. They won't go bad in 24 hours and there is no rule that you can't have hotdogs more than once a week.
re: rabaja
You could put them in a cassolete.
I once ground a couple up in the food processor along with some onion and garlic, mixed in some bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, whatever spices I was in the mood for that day, a drizzle of olive oil, and used them as the stuffing for some baked tomatoes. Nothing I was planning to serve to company, but I was pleased enough with the result.
If, after 8 and a half years, you still have those leftover hot dogs, make Wienie Royal (or Royale, depending on who you talk to). I believe it's an invention of the WW2 Japanese internment camps. Cut two or three hot dogs on the bias, and julienne them. Slice a large onion. In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon or so of butter, and fry the onion and hot dog strips until the onions are translucent and the hot dog strips are starting to brown. Add a tablespoon or so of shoyu. Pour two or three beaten eggs over everything, and stir to combine. When the eggs are fully cooked, serve over hot rice.

We arrived in Mumbai by bus from Udaipur. The bus was four hours late. Bladders bursting, we watched the sprawling city through our bus window. We saw the widespread poverty that we've sadly grown accustomed to. We saw slum housing, made up of plywood walls and tin roofs, and stacked three storey's high. We saw satellite dishes attach to the flimsy walls. We passed shops, mostly barbers and small markets, being run out of the bottom, street-front, rooms. We saw people sleeping on any available surface. We passed crumbling buildings filled...Jump to full entry

As Bandra is 10 minutes from the airport we thought we'd just get a hotel up here for the night (as we had to be at the airport at 3am 2mo morning if we are able to change our flights) rather than catching a cab from our hotel at the bottom of mumbai which would take over an hour.

I finally got through to Delhi office of BA and was told that we weren't able to re-book our flights on the phone and pick up the new ones at the airport (as told by Trailfinders, thanks for that!). We would have to go in person to the Mumbai office to get new tickets issued. Ok no problem. Except for the fact that it is now Saturday morning and the Mumbai office is only open from Monday to Friday...................................DOH!!!! So it looks we haven't made it out of India just yet then!!! Not good...Jump to full entry
Aug 22, 2008 - BA: "I ain't letting you change your flights on the plane, fool!"
Ok, so we decided against the agro of a 12 hour train journey down to Goa as, although it looks beautiful and totally chilled out down there, it is also Monsoon season! We checked out a few reports and pictures and stuff and it just didn't seem worth making the trip down there. Hopefully we should get a bit of surf and relaxation time when we travel through Asia/Indonesia so no worries there. So my job for today was to try and call BA to change the date of our flight (Mumbai to Hong Kong then a connecting flight from Hong Kong to Vietnam...Jump to full entry

Mumbai was really nice - Much different from the rest of India. It was a busy city and we crammed as much as we could into the short time we had there. We managed to see a massive market, cathedral and of course eat at McDonalds. Thank goodness it was a nice day. The day we arrived there it was rainng and the day we left was raining as well. We also got some more shopping in, everywhere you turn they are selling little trinkets. We also saw the Gate to India which was really nice to see even though it appeared to be under construction and...Jump to full entry

I'm sure there are cool parts of it and I'm sure there are genuinely nice people here but honestly we haven't met anyone here that hasn't been nice to us just to try and get some of our cash.

May 16, 2008 - Mumbai, India
I was a little apprehensive about my trip to India in general. I knew that such a different country, a different culture, would overwhelm me. Even though I've been here a few days already, I still rest by the notion that I could never travel it alone. Currently, I am travelling with two friends from Rotman (Sarah Rogers and Sarit Daniel), and on the first day, we met up with more Rotmanites who were on the tail end of their India study tour. And so far, India has been… well, interesting. I flew out from Sydney on one of the last flights to...Jump to full entry

This really is the end of the trip...I'm hanging out in the Leela Kempinski Hotel in Mumbai, as I have a 6 hour wait between arriving from Bangkok and taking off for Heathrow and trust me Mumbai Airport is not somewhere you want to hang around (landside anyway!) Last few days in Bangkok were pretty hectic, I had a bit of running around to do, both for myself and a favour for a friend back in London - so navigating around the city whilst in the middle of tropical storms was a bit of challenged.

Apr 16, 2008 - Oh no, its Mumbai again.
I didnt get on with Mumbai on my first visit, or maybe it chose not to get on with me. With this in mind my plans second time around were for a quick visit to nearby Elephanta Island and a look at the dhobi ghats where Mumbaiers have their clothing washed, both of which I missed out on last time, then move quickly onto Aurangabad. Thanks to a rare bit of stomach troubles (explained below), my stay became longer than anticipated. This would happen in Mumbai! Elephanta Island is all about some old rock temples and carvings and worth a visit....Jump to full entry

Apr 14, 2008 - Mumbai (Bombay)
My train for Mumbai left at 6am and due to concerns about getting a rickshaw so early in the morning I ended up getting to the train station early enough to catch a special service train that came through at 5.15am. The 10 1/2 hour journey was reasonably uneventful except when a group of Indian guys came over and started chatting to me. There was the usual amazement that I was travelling by myself and that I was unmarried at the age of 29. After about 15 minutes of questioning they wandered off again and I settled down to watch the scenery...Jump to full entry

The flight was due to take off at 7:30 am but of course it didn't – more like 8:30 am and we found ourselves in Mumbai just an hour later. Then, we had to wait!

Not to be confused with the first novel of The Tillerman Family Series, also named Homecoming.Homecoming is a semi-traditional fantasy novel by Anne B. Walsh, set on her original world of Trycanta, which human beings (also known as nequor (NEH-quoar) ) share with races known as lyrror (LIE-rroar), or "greatcats", and mazor (MAH-zoar), or "dragons". It is the first in the Tales of Anosir, and will be followed by Snowball, Promenade, and Commencement.The story follows Vani, a Cinderella figure for whom the striking of midnight is her freedom, as it allows her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Shroca (whom she believed dead), to find her in her captivity and free her. She is whisked away to the palace of the King of Anosir, where she learns that she is a child of prophecy, fated to marry King Malak. To this end, she immediately enters intense lessons in the proper behavior and training of a court lady, though she finds time to make friends, most of whom her parents do not approve.The shadow looming over Vani's life is that of her former captors, especially Tyle Volanna, the young man with whom her blood was mingled when she was stolen from her parents as a baby, enabling him to steal her powerful magic and use it as his own. Though her parents assure her that the bond between them is blocked, she still wonders if that bond might be prejudicing her towards sympathy with the dangerous dissenters against the King's reign, many of whom are partially or wholly lyrro or mazo (the King fears the non-human races greatly).Vani also wishes that her parents would show her more affection, rather than simply being coldly proud of her. Her friends are wonderful, but she has always longed for a true mother and father, and finds them (two of each, even!) in her music teachers, brother and sister minstrels Cat and Skylark; Cat's wife Rye, a cook at the palace; and Skylark's husband Trey, a woodcarver and storyteller. With the help of their simple, whole-hearted approval and love, Vani starts to blossom as the scholar and lady she was born to be.When Vani finally realizes that the fairy-tale destiny named in her prophecy is nothing she wants, it may already be too late. Will she be able to trick her fate into allowing her a true Homecoming?

Judith Donath is giving a book talk to launch The Social Machine. I read it this weekend and it is a rich work that explores the ways in which good design can improve our online sociality. I'm a fan of Judith's and am looking forward to seeing what 25-minutes' worth of ideas she selects to talk about tonight, given the richness of her book.
NOTE: Live-blogging. Getting things wrong. Missing points. Omitting key information. Introducing artificial choppiness. Over-emphasizing small matters. Paraphrasing badly. Not running a spellpchecker. Mangling other people's ideas and words. You are warned, people.
Judith begins by saying that the theme of the book is the importance of online social interaction and designing for it. Our interfaces may look sophisticated but they're primitive when it comes to enabling social interaction. She uses a Mark Twain story ["Was the World Made for Man?"] about an oyster's point of view to remind us that online design isn't really all that evolved. One big issue: We can't see the interactions.
We like being with other people, Judith remindsd us. We like seeing how they look, feeling the energy in a room, etc. This is hard to perceive when you're looking at screen. Our computers connect us to tremendous crowds, but we don't see the level of activity or the patterns. She shows a work from 25 years ago when she spent a summer in Japan. Her friends were in Boston on computers. The "who" command let her see who was online and how active they were; it was an old-style computer print-out of a list. She came back from Japan trying to design a more useful display. In the early 1990s she came up with "Visual Who," a text-based visualization of the people online, filterable by interests, etc. She shows some other ways of displaying social network maps, but such maps aren't yet integrated into the social network interfaces. Maps like these would help manage Facebook's privacy settings, she ways. Or we could use them as an interface for keeping up with people we haven't interacted with in a while, etc.
Legibility is a huge issue, she says. Information is non-spatial, so it can be hard to parse. Judith points to the Talk pages where Wikipedia pages are discussed and edited. Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg did a visualization (History Flow) of the edits on the Chocolate article. This lets you see what's controversial and what isn't. They then took the same data and looked not at every edit, but sampled it at fixed times. It's a much smoother diagram. That shows the reader's experience, while the first version showed the writers' version.
Now Judith talks about "Beyond Being There" (a paper by Hollan, Nielsen, Stornetta, et al.). We can do things with these tools that we can't do face-to-face. (The fact that we're in public looking at our cell phones indicates that we're getting some meaningful social connection that way, she says.) Judith shows the interface to "Talking Circles," [pdf] an interface for audio conferences. It consists of colored circles. When someone speaks, their circle's inside moves with their voice. Circles that are near each other are able to hear each other. As they move away, they can't hear each other. So you could have a private conversation over this digital medium.
These interfaces change the social dynamics around a space. E.g., the "Like" economy induces some to use Intagram to try to gather more likes. Judith points to the Karrie Karahalios and Viega's Conversation Clock", a table top that shows who spoke when and who overlapped (interrupted) another. E.g., the fact that we're all being watched (or think we are — Judith references the Panopticon) shapes our behavior. She points to the EU's decision that Google has to remove links upon user request.
Judith points to a portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, who looks young in a painting done when she was 65. If you think about data as portraying someone, you become aware of the triangle of subject, audience, and painter, each with their own interests. (She says that two years ago another portrait of Elizabeth from the same time and studio shows her looking very old indeed.)
When you think about doing portraits with data, you have to ask how to make something expressive. She points to "The Rhythm of Salience," a project she created using an existing conversation database. She picked out words that she identified as being about the individuals. At heart, a portrait takes what's representative of someone, exaggerates it, and shows the salience. She shows the Caricature Generator by Susan Brennan. You can do the same thing with words, e.g. Themail by Fernanda Viegas and Scott Golder. People save their email, but generally they don't use their archives. People are more interested in keeping the patterns of relationships than in the individual emails. So, Themail shows a histogram of the month-to-month relationship with anyone in your archive. The column shows the volume of messages, but the words that compose the bars show you the dominant words. [I didn't get that exactly right. Sorry]
She ends by showing Personas by Aaron Zinman (and Donath). You type in your name and spits back a little portrait of you. It searches Google for mentions of your name and characterizes it.
All of these raise enormous questions, she says.
Q&A [extra special abbreviated version]
Q: [me] Is this change good? Or pathological? You show an incredibly fluid environment; is this changing our f2f relationships?
A: Jane Jacobs wrote the Life and Death of Great American Cities not to judge cities but to make them better. My book tries to show ways we can use design to make our social relationships better. Right now we deal with one another differently f2f and in the real world. In 10 years, that distinction will be much less pronounced. E.g., as Google Glass type products and better interfaces will have much more important affects on f2f. That's why it's important that we think about these issues now.
Colin Maclay: And as danah boyd says, for the youth it's not offline or online life. It's just life.
Q: What's the difference between info that you put up and info about you that others post and use?
A: There's very little use of pseudonymity online. Usually it's your real name or you're anonymous. Judith shops online for most of her stuff, and she reads reviews. But she doesn't write reviews in part because she doesn't want her deodorant review to come up when people google her. That's where pseudonyms come in. Pseudonyms don't guarantee complete anonymity but for everyday use they enable us to gain control over our lives online.
Q: Nicholas Negroponte: You were doing social networking work decades ago. Why is it taking so long for the evolution we're waiting for?
A: The Web set design back tremendously. The Web made it easy for everyone to participate, but one of the costs was that the simplicity of the interface of the Web made it hard to do design or to have identities online. It slowed down a lot of social design. Also, the world of design is extremely conservative because companies imitate one another.
Q: GPS is causing a generational difference in how we navigate space…
A: Tech is often designed subconsciously so that there are insiders and outsiders. [I've overly shortened this interchange.]
Q: Email vs. text messaging?
A: There are fashions. Also, IM has its uses…
Q: How can sites guarantee what they intend to provide, e.g., privacy? How can they ensure trust? E.g., people have figured out how to take screencaptures of snapchat, subverting the design.
A: Design doesn't guarantee things. But we should have spaces where we have good enough privacy. We need better interfaces for this. Also, many things you see online don't let you have a sense of how big your audience is or how permanent will be what you say. Some of the visualizations I've talked about give you a sense of the publicness of what you're saying.
Q: Pseudonymity does reign supreme on Reddit. And whatever happened to Second Life, which seems to address some of the issues you talked about.
A: About every 7 years, a new avatar-based space comes out, so we're about due for the next. Our original work with Chat Spaces was in response to The Palace. I'm not a big fan of that type of graphical chat space because they're trying to reproduce the feeling of being f2f without going "beyond being there. " E.g., a student [?] wrote a paper on why there are chairs in Second Life. Good question. Q: What about skeuomorphism? That metaphor holds things back. Is it just an art to come up with designs that break the old metaphors?
A: The first part of the book deals with that question. There's a chapter on metaphor. If your metaphors are too heavy handed, they limit what you can do. E.g., if you use folders, you have to figure out which one to put your email in. If you used labels (tags), you wouldn't have to make those decisions. A lot of the art of design is learning how to use metaphors so you can do something more abstract while still being legible, and how you can bend the metaphors without breaking them.
Q: How does Internet balkanization affect your viewpoint and affect designers?
A: How do we use language and images to bridge cultures? Designers have to understand what images mean. It's an enormously difficult problem. It's crucial to try to be always cognizant of one's own cultural issues. E.g., Caricatures look different depending on your cultural norms. In the book, I did not write about caricatures of Obama in white and black publications, butepending on what norm you use, you get different results about what's salient.
Q: If you could give people a visualization of how they behave in negotiations, that could be useful when people get stuck.
A: The Conversation Clock's design has done some work on this. Who's saying no? Who's interrupting. It's difficult for people to notice.
Q: The iPhone has just moved away from skeuomorphism. Do you know how long it takes for us to move away from this?
A: Much of this has to do with style and fashion.

Thing bad goes on and on for the socialite. This time, Paris Hilton creates scandal after another, worse it's a boop scandal.
Has just had her new single "Stars Are Blind" released on the market, Paris recently shot a five-minute version of a CK ad, in which she makes out with a guy on the beach.
That isn't something new for her of course. Yet, what interesting is that during the making one of her boobs pops out of the swimming suit. This incident obviously received laughter and irony, and most of all lead many people to think that Paris is still and will be forever a slutty girl.

Bridgeport Sound Tigers
I never thought I'd be hanging on a Lake Erie score, but here I was, Dec. 14, waiting on that 4-1 final, not to be confused with this 4-1 final. They're semi-momentous 4-1 finals. That win for the huge, hideous creature* gave Cleveland 20 points. Worcester won the bonus round to reach 21. The Sound […] [Read More]
Ins and outs, Dec. 14 edition

It feels like the same game over again, even though it shouldn't. The other day, Bridgeport played pretty well for 20 minutes. This time, it was only four or five.

Go fish? The Mariners would rather not | Sideline chatter
There's something fishy going on with the Mariners.
Seattle Times staff
There's something fishy going on with the Mariners.
After all, they could have hooked a (Mike) Trout and let a (Mike) Carp get away.
So maybe it's no coincidence that Kevin Bass hit .391 in his career against the Mariners or that Tim Salmon made a habit of victimizing them, hitting 25 homers against Seattle.
Big-time boosters
The University of Oregon is proposing to limit seat cushions to 17 inches after getting some complaints about extra-wide cushions taking up too much space.
Which proves the point that some Ducks fans are big ... nah, can't do it. That's just too easy.
What? I don't see anything
Four central Pennsylvania residents said they used only a rope and a flashlight during a wild chase to rescue a young bear whose head had been stuck in a plastic jar for at least 11 days, according to The Associated Press.
Eleven days?
That's nothing, baseball critics claim. They say MLB commissioner Bud Selig had his head buried for years.
It's only money
A Boston woman paid $560,000 last week for two off-street parking spaces in the city's Back Bay neighborhood, according to the AP, making it Boston's biggest expenditure for little in return since the Red Sox signed Carl Crawford, John Lackey and Josh Beckett for nearly $300 million.
Talko Time
• Denver Nuggets forward Andre Iguodala, tweeting after the Heat's title: "If you still hate LeBron, you really need a life coach. And I'll sponsor you."
• ESPN's Woody Paige, after Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel tweeted, "I can't wait to leave College Station": "Neither can anybody who's ever been there."
• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel on the Patriots' embattled tight end: "If I'm Aaron Hernandez, my one phone call goes to Tim Tebow."
Power shortage
The Mariners' Jesus Montero has denied involvement with the former anti-aging clinic in Miami that has been linked to performance-enhancing drugs.
With a .208 batting average and an OPS of .590, he's either telling the truth, or he deserves a refund.

Just over three months since voters in two California cities — Richmond and El Monte — flatly turned down soda taxes, a new Field Poll released Thursday found a majority of California voters say they would support a soda tax if the funds raised were devoted to children's health.
While only 40 percent of voters said they favor a sugar-sweetened beverage tax, that number jumped to 68 percent if the proceeds will benefit school nutrition and physical activity programs.
"Voters in general don't trust taxes that aren't earmarked. They prefer to see taxes linked to something beneficial," said Dr. Tony Iton, senior vice president of The California Endowment, which sponsored the poll. "People that are engaged in constructing policy … should take heart in this poll and be able to look to it to construct subsequent measures for trying to engage the public support behind obesity prevention."
"I think this poll shows that a campaign either statewide or locally in cities has an excellent chance," Wendel Brunner, Contra Costa County's director of public health, told the San Jose Mercury News.
But in the poll voters had the highest support — more than 80 percent — for increasing opportunities for being physically active, such as improved school sports fields and playgrounds — and keeping those facilities open after school and on weekends. Continue reading

2010-04-19Kakha Katsitadze: "Today, There Is Complete Regress in the Conflict Regulation Process"
Why are we permanently in war situation? Why have not we achieved consensus with Ossetian and Abkhaz parties? Expert Kakha Katsidze thinks it requires very thorough analyze. Our society was not oriented on resolving the problems through consensus – this mentality was established during the communist epoch. The wide-spread assumption was – "If I can subordinate or rob somebody, why should I agree with him about it?!"

If you have a parent, grandparent, or other close relative with alcoholism, you are at increased risk of having problems with alcohol. Many studies of children of alcoholics have found that they are about four times more likely to develop alcohol problems than people without a family history of alcoholism, says the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
Many other factors affect your risk of alcohol use problems. These include how your parents raised you, your friends, your stress level, and how available alcohol is to you.
Knowing that you're at risk is important, though, because you can take steps to protect yourself.
According to the NIAAA, alcoholism is a disease that includes at least three of the following four symptoms:
1. Craving. A strong need or urge to drink.
2. Loss of control. Not being able to stop drinking or to control the results once drinking starts.
3. Physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, are experienced when you stop drinking.
4. Tolerance. The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol over time.
If you think you are at risk for alcohol problems, here are some steps from the NIAAA to help prevent it:
Avoid drinking at a young age. The risk for alcoholism is higher if you begin to drink at an early age. This is because of social factors and genes.
Drink moderately as an adult. You should approach even moderate drinking with caution because you may find it difficult to stay at that level. Better yet, avoid alcohol completely.
Talk with your health care provider or a substance-abuse counselor. They can recommend support groups or helpful organizations, or even treatment if needed.
If you're an adult who already has begun to drink, your health care provider can assess your drinking. He or she can tell you if you need to cut back and advise you how to go about it.
