I previously blogged about cloud computing and, as you may remember, I am no fan. Recently, while listening to The Command Line Podcast, I came across yet another reason to stay away from the cloud. Cmdline mentions Bruce Schneier’s recent post on file deletion in the cloud. Bruce’s main point is that you can be [...]

Almost since we moved into our house we’ve been fascinated by the birds we have seen in our front and back yards. Both the wife and I love birding in general and I love photographing birds. So, after a bit of discussion we decided to get a bird feeder. We ended up getting two of [...]

Here are some of my favorite photos from the group portraits session. Some of these (mostly when it’s a group photo) were me “stealing” a setup that the official photographer had already set up. Many of the shots with one or two people are quick shots I grabbed while others were being shot by the [...]

From the time I started listening to podcasts until about two months ago, I had been using Rhythmbox to manage my podcasts. When I first started using a Linux music application, Banshee ran hideously slow on my computer. (As did most mono-based products) As time has passed I’ve acquired a more powerful Linux computer and [...]

And so the ceremony began, starting with the couples approaching the aisle. I was able to get some great shots because I was using both my Rebel XT and Rebel XTi with the EF 28-105mm (and the lens hood to help mitigate lens flare) on one camera and the Tamron 55-200mm on the other. [...]

Don’t worry, this blog isn’t about to become some weird fan tribute blog to Braid. It’s more of a case of trying to make sense of the game I’ve just played. There’s really no reason to make sense of The Beatles Rockband. You are one of The Beatles playing music. There’s nothing to “get”. But [...]

This month finds me with getting two asian photos in my inbox from Photojojo. Either an amazing coincidence or they have some great code going on the in background. Interesting, the first one is a product of racism while the other is a product of love.

warning: The following contains many spoilers about Braid. I, personally, feel that your enjoyment of the game will be greatly reduced by reading this ahead of time. You have been warned!
I finished Braid last night. I did cheat a little. Of the 60 possible puzzle pieces, I used a walkthrough to get about 10 of [...]

That a game like Braid can exist is a statement on where video games are as an art form with a well-established history and canon. To make a parallel in the paint world: without a long canon of traditional paintings of tables with fruit and bread, people wouldn’t have really understood the “parody” or “remix” [...]

When I read this article in Digital Photography School, I posted the rainbow photo shown above as an example of how much I had to learn. Little did I know how much traffic that would generate for me. In just one day I got 172 views after having spent the past 26 days with 0 [...]

Recently this photo was published by the Associated Press and has been getting a lot of attention on the interwebs. It shows Lance Cpl. Joshua Bernard, an American solder in Afghanistan, after being hit by a mortar attack and only hours before death. A lot of the debate participants seem to feel one way or [...]

Danielle and I went to Rockburn Branch Park today to throw a ball around and maybe ride bike. We ended up not riding bike because we didn’t like the trail too much and my water bottle holder came loose from my bike. So we grabbed our gloves and brand new baseballs (we lost our previous [...]

Jen was no where to be found at the wedding location because she was actually across the lake for her grand entrance. None of the guests at the wedding knew about this so everyone was very excited. I went on to the docks to photograph her entrance.

Just signed up for this neat flickr-related service, Photojojo’s Time Capsule. Twice a month they send you some photos that you took a year ago. Here are the photos from my first email from them, it’s pretty neat. If you want to see what it looks like in the email, go here.
