I hadn’t paid much attention to Flickr.com to be honest, though I do use it when I think about it. It’s actually an awesome little service with great functionality. Part of me is insanely jealous at the ingenuity behind it. I poked around a bit this evening and discovered the “Groups” features. It’s a lot… Continue reading Flickr Groups

Drewinna
Today we visited Barbara Elise, the previously mentioned, unnamed, baby girl. It turns out they didn’t pick one of my names, though Tina did say she had up to two weeks to decide. She’s a beautiful specimen and only days old.
Über-Aggressive Lemmings
Those of you who know me, know that I’m a very tolerant guy. There are, however, a few things that I just despise. On my way home last night, I encountered the most loathsome of my pet-peeves (maybe not the most, but at the time it was). Having driven through stormy weather from work, I… Continue reading Über-Aggressive Lemmings
Testing BlogJet
I have installed an interesting application – BlogJet. It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). It has MSN-like smiley’s, which are amusing . Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com *UPDATE* The smiley’s are cool, but it’s good to know that they’re just images and probably need to be… Continue reading Testing BlogJet
Verizon Contracts
Below is my conversation with the support people at Verizon Wireless. Although I have enjoyed their coverage and general network quality, I hate service contracts. You have to agree to them (if not, you pay over-inflated prices) and they never actually work for you. They’re designed exclusively to aid the service provider. How is this… Continue reading Verizon Contracts
Good Friends, Drew and Batinna
Some good friends of mine, Drew and [Ba]Tin[n]a, just had a baby. They already have a boy – eight or nine I think – so they’re not new at this, just rusty. The girl was born by force Monday. She’s 7lb some-odd ounces (pretty much a perfect weight). Drew, in his sleep-deprived state, has either… Continue reading Good Friends, Drew and Batinna
Canon EOS 20D
My wife just picked up a new camera – digital for once. She’s generally opposed to the medium, but I think the competition and my bantering are finally winning her over. The issue, of course, is that she’s a medium-format user and digital cameras are oft-not capable of reproducing images of this caliber. There are… Continue reading Canon EOS 20D
Time Well Spent
Having been preoccupied nightly with Halo 2 and some friends on XBOX Live!, I’ve neglected the site a bit. The part that everyone sees, anyway. I’m working on some other things for the gallery, but I won’t talk to that until I have something more than vapor-ware. The Live! environment is rich with the young… Continue reading Time Well Spent
Thanksgiving Day
It’s Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Another one of those holidays that probably only has any significance to Americans. Although this is a time that we’re supposed to be thankful for the things the Indians did for us in allowing helping Pilgrims to survive, we mainly just gorge ourselves with turkey, stuffing (a bread-crumb… Continue reading Thanksgiving Day
Site Update
The site underwent a minor change to avoid confusion. I was tired of the ‘Live Journal’ reference for my blog, so I removed that link. I also removed the site’s news from the homepage and replaced it with my blog. There. Now you’re forced to view the blog if you land on the site. Incidentally,… Continue reading Site Update
