A Word About Our Sponsors

Eric Mesa | January 17, 2010

Unlike some other web admins, I respect your ability to choose to have ads blocked.  The ad providers brought them upon themselves by making ads really freakin’ annoying into the mid-2000s.  I just want to say that I don’t run any of those kinds of ads on this site.  I have an ad for Servint, [...]

The End of Braid Part 2 of ?

Eric Mesa | September 20, 2009

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 [...]

Eric Mesa | September 5, 2009

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.

Hawaii Day 5

Eric Mesa | July 16, 2009

And now it’s time for the conclusion of my Hawaii travel photo blog. (Started Here) The first photos are Friday EST, but still Thursday in Hawaii.

That night I was bored so I set up my tripod on my balcony and shot some night scenes.

The following day work ended around lunchtime and my flight [...]

Hawaii Day 4

Eric Mesa | June 30, 2009

In yesterday’s post I mentioned how I overcame my shyness and it led to a good picture. That doesn’t mean I stopped taking candid photos. I wonder what she thought when she saw the camera pointed her way. Afterwards I shot some photos of the guy with a million balloons who happened [...]

Hawaii Day 3

Eric Mesa | June 29, 2009

I think everyone has seen a street performer painted in metal and dressed in clothes with a metallic-looking surface. I’ve seen them in Miami, Vegas, and Fort Lauderdale. But only in Honolulu have I seen three of them on the same street only a block from each other. At first when I [...]

A Sunday Afternoon Bike Ride

Eric Mesa | June 20, 2009

There were a few things we were excited about being able to do once we had a house – do laundry without sharing the machines, get away from noisy wall/ceiling neighbors, BBQ in our yard, and own bicycles.  Being extremely clean, we were unable to own bikes at the apartment because we had nowhere to [...]

What I’ve been Up To

Eric Mesa | January 30, 2009

Been silent on the blog because I’ve been very busy with other things. Mostly I’ve been busy going through the 800+ pictures I took on my recent trip to Oahu, HI. Expect to see a fully illustrated blog post about my trip once I’m done uploading the pictures to flickr. And I’ve [...]

Eric Mesa | January 11, 2009

Hey Everyone! Yesterday my server died. I finally bit the bucket and rented a VPS. Sadly this means that I am no longer hosting my own site on my own personal server. However, hopefully this will translate to greater reliability for you guys. You no longer have to go through [...]
