I'd been meaning to try cooking rice in a microwave for a while now, thinking it could be an alternative to fast food where there are stores with microwave ovens, such as Whole Foods here in Petaluma. The article didn't mention, however, the possibility of the rice boiling over; I've corrected that. I found I needed a 1-quart container for just 1/4 cup of rice, with 1/2 cup of water.
Just got done experimenting with sitting down on a skateboard; it worked pretty well on both a small board and my dirtboard. I can use my hands to push off, and my feet to brake. I'll need to practice more before the Kinetic Grand Championship, but I believe it can work.
