This past weekend, Ligia and took a trip out to the countryside. Our favorite haunt is River Rd, way out in the fields hugging the Potomac hillsides. There are so many beautiful places out there, and trails galore. You can bring your bikes along, park your car, and push the pedals around all day, exploring [...]

Have a look at this comment from Thomas Hawk over at Scobleizer. He goes into great details about the situation, and things look very good for Zooomr!
Sun Microsystems proved how nice they are by loaning [...]
The pure color of these rose petals reminds me of fresh spring rain, washing away the cold mud of winter from plants too hesitant to fully bloom. There’s the expectant hope of better, warmer days, and the creamy, bright, white background practically radiates optimism. Yes, I manipulated the colors, but that’s makes this photo more [...]
» Go to this postBy coincidence, I heard two pieces written by Franz von Suppé within the last 24 hours, and realized he’s always been one of my favorite composers, although I never knew his name. If you’ve watched cartoons, then you’ve definitely heard his Light Cavalry Overture, and chances are you’ve also heard his Jolly Robbers Overture. They’re [...]

Zooomr’s long awaited Mark III release launched last night, only to have their database server go out about 10 minutes after the live launch. We’ve all been frustrated by the long migration period and the [...]
This little daffodil was spreading its pure petals back in mid-March, signaling, and unequivocally so, that spring had arrived. This was one of the first days I had my Canon EOS 30D and 100mm macro lens, and that’s when I realized, also unequivocally, that I’d stepped onto new photographic terrain, and didn’t want to go [...]
» Go to this postFor the past couple of months, I’ve been getting spammed by a German company that shall remain unnamed, since they don’t deserve the extra publicity, bad as it may be. I mentioned them in one of my old posts, or rather I linked to a TechCrunch post that talked about them. I figured I probably [...]
» Go to this postAaron Johnson, the creator of What the Duck, has apparently seen this post of mine, where I talk about image theft. He’s just sent me an email to let me know of today’s WTD, which handles the issue of watermarks and image theft in that wonderful, funny way that I’ve come to love.
Here’s the strip [...]
Here’s the classic “Who’s on first?” routine from Abbot and Costello. Must-see comedy — still funny after all these years. It’s interesting to see how they distilled bits and pieces from their earlier routines into this.
Graham Chapman was part of that seminal group of British comedians known for “The Monty Python”, and other wonderful pieces [...]
» Go to this postI’ve liked these flowers ever since I was a child. Even though their fragrance isn’t pleasing, I’ve always thought they more than made up for that with their beauty: their soft, velvety petals and their saturated colors. Ligia bought me a few last week because she knew how much I liked them. Here’s one of [...]
» Go to this postSometimes, Ligia manages to pry me away from the computer long enough to take a walk around the neighborhood. Of course, I take my camera along. This is one of the photos I took this past Thursday, during one of our dusk walks.
» Go to this postSaw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End last night with Ligia. Superb follow-up to Dead Man’s Chest (2006). I loved the plot twists in this one, and thought the script was handled wonderfully to offer closure to the story points from the first and second movies in the series. It seemed to me there [...]
