This is a bit after Thanksgiving, but it’s pertinent.
It was just last summer (in 2006) that I got frustrated with my photography, and decreed that I must improve. Even though I’d been taking photos since 1994, and I had a feel for what looked good, I had no idea what I was doing with the [...]
I thought that when I lived in Florida, the construction there was shoddy. I was wrong. At least there they used concrete pillars and floors for the houses, and the building code was so strict everything was anchored properly, especially after Hurricane Andrew. When I moved to the DC area, I thought construction would be [...]
» Go to this postI’m a very happy user of FeedBurner, the wonderful feed management service from Google. I’ve been using it since early 2006, and I log on multiple times every day to keep track of my feeds. I’d like to talk about some features and options that I’d love to see on the site.

Almost two weeks ago, on 11/16/07, I upgraded to Leopard, the new version of Mac OS X. In spite of some negative experiences I’d read about, my upgrade went smoothly and I didn’t lose any data. All of my applications worked afterwards. A couple of them, like 3D Home Architect, required Leopard updates to make [...]

Just as I was getting ready to download the photos from my camera last night (I’d been out photographing the wonderful fall foliage), a ladybug flew by me, and stopped to rest on one of our lamps.
I have no idea how it got inside our home, since we have screens at our windows and doors, [...]
You may or may not know that Skype offers a service called SkypeIn, which lets you get a local number that people can call to reach you anywhere in the world, provided you’re logged into Skype. I’ve had a SkypeIn number for the past couple of years, and I love it. Want the number? It’s [...]

» Go to this postLast year, I stumbled over the blog of one of the directors for the Ren & Stimpy cartoons, whose name isn’t worth mentioning here. I subscribed, curious to see what one of the people who’d worked on that horrible cartoon was doing nowadays. It didn’t take long for me to find out…

Friends of ours and we visited the Bethesda Flea Market recently. I forgot to take my 5D along, and used our little Kodak v610 compact. Still, I got some nice photos, and wanted to share them with you.
I’d passed by the market many times, but never bothered to stop before. I’m glad our friends convinced [...]
