R. Kelly’s Urban Opera

Amy pulled me in this evening to witness R. Kelly’s latest masterpiece, the Urban Opera: Trapped in the Closet. I don’t know much about R. Kelly, but I know enough now that I won’t be listening to anything further from him. Then again, the comedic entertainment factor of his opera was great enough that I… Continue reading R.

Book 6 of the Harry Potter Saga

Tonight (tomorrow morning, technically), book 6 of Rowling’s Potter epic is released. I’ve heard that some people released early today and that many are taking this information quite badly. Amy and I will be at Chapter 11 books in Gainesville for some hoopla surrounding this event. We’re taking care of pictures, and getting a copy… Continue reading Book 6 of the Harry Potter Saga

MadLib Biographies: Longhand

I haven’t asked anybody yet, but you can let me know if you have a fancy… Continue reading BoingBoing Tidbits

Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios

The Atlanta Flickr Group attended an informal studio lighting seminar my wife put on at her studio in Gainesville, Celestial Studios. Thank you to everyone that was able to come to that. I think it went quite well and gave something to everyone to play with in the future. I’d love it if the group… Continue reading Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios

The Asian Cultural Experience

Today the family traveled out to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for the Asian Cultural Experience. It was a really cool adventure as expected. I only learned about the event through a Flickr group I’m a member of, the Atlanta Flickr Group. Ironically, however, I didn’t get to see any of them at the show. They… Continue reading The Asian Cultural Experience

Microsoft Forces IE Dominance

Upon attempting to download many new software titles available via Microsoft’s website, the user is confronted with a “Validation Recommended” message. At first glimpse, the procedure is a tell-tale signature of a pending ActiveX application. This won’t work on non-Microsoft browsers, so you’ll probably just close FireFox and open IE with some bitterness. Having done… Continue reading Microsoft Forces IE Dominance
