Updated 3/9/08: This post reflects the state of the site back when it was still called ComeAcross and I’d just started it. That’s no longer the case, as I’ve combined all of my content since at this domain. For more on that switch, have a look at the About page.
If I asked you [...]

» Go to this postJust stumbled onto the site for this upcoming movie, in theaters on November 10th, and I’m looking forward to it. The screenplay was written by Zach Helm and it was directed by Marc Forster. The really interesting thing about it is the screenplay, and kudos go out to Zach for a wonderfully quirky and original [...]
» Go to this postI’m struck by the amount of consolidation that’s taking place these days. Companies are gobbling up other companies in order to scale up, expand horizontally or simply eliminate competition. We in the web development industry have so far been spared this fate, simply because of the amount of incredible innovation and changes that always take [...]
» Go to this postIf you suffer from frequent tension headaches, like I do, the following list of habits might help you prevent them. These are things that work for me:
We tend to frown when we’re frustrated or stressed. Become aware of it, and stop it. Relax your forehead, and keep it that way, on purpose, even when under [...]
» Go to this postI’m pretty impressed with the specs for the ChiliBox. This little machine really seems to do it all, right out of the box, and for a very reasonable price. Given the proliferation of NAS devices these days, you wonder how much functionality you get out of them, and for some, it’s not much. Well, the [...]
» Go to this postJust finished watching Troy for the first time (yes, I know I’m about two years behind with my movie watching…) and several thoughts are on my mind.
First, how do you tackle a subject as epic as the Battle of Troy? How you handle Homer? How you you compress 9 years of fighting and conflict into [...]
On 10/2, I wrote about our trip to these two sites along the C&O Canal here in Maryland. I couldn’t post the videos at that time. With the aid of YouTube, here they are, in chronological order, for your enjoyment.
I filmed this as the ferry pulled up to the Maryland side of the Potomac, and [...]
On 10/8, I wrote about our trip to the C&O Canal Park here on the Maryland side of the Potomac River, and I posted the photos we took there. I forgot to post the video we made as well. The quality isn’t fantastic, I used our digital camera, not a camcorder, but it’ll give you [...]
» Go to this postA little more than a week ago, I wrote about the National Seminary at Forest Glen, here in the DC suburbs, and also posted some photos I took there this summer. I promised I’d post the rest of the photos, which I took in the summer of 2005, and I held true to that promise.
I [...]
I started posting my photos to Zooomr about a month ago, and today, I just passed the 10,000 views mark. That’s pretty cool, given that I’ve got less than 400 photos up, and have been adding them gradually. I’m kind of curious to see what happens as I add more photos. I’m pretty excited about [...]
» Go to this postWe turned 300 million today (people, that is) here in the grand old (or young, depending on your point of view) US of A. Yay!
Lots of us to go around, all of us immigrants (although some would think otherwise). We love big, open spaces, big cars, big houses, big meals and given our experiences when [...]
