playing music with Overtone on OSX inside Sublime Text 2

This was surprisingly simple given how many things there were to do! (Usually it seems like something breaks when there's this many steps between me and installing something.)

figurative language meets programming
// in C you can express metaphors, e.g. "Noon's house is a bear":
#include "stdio.h"

Chocolate chip cookie tips from @Thefoodlab

THE PROCESS

  1. The dough spreads (things melt).
  2. The edges set (before the center does).
  3. The cookie rises (water from melting reacts with baking soda, which in turn reacts with acids).
  4. Egg proteins and starches set (cookie's shape finalizes).
  5. Sugar caramelizes (producing richer, sweeter flavors).
  6. The Maillard reaction occurs (flour proteins and eggs brown with the sugar, producing nutty, toaster flavors).
  7. The cookie cools (liquefied sugar hardens, producing toffee-like texture).

THE GOAL
