Unlike the weblog entries, the photoBlog pictures don’t get listed by archives or anything. So if you check infrequently you may miss a picture or two, so checking back using the previous link until you see something you’ve already seen is recommended. I still have 10-15 of trip pictures to put up here, so don’t [...]

If you sent me a message to my cell during my vacation, email me your mailing address and I’ll send you a custom made post card printed with one of my own photographs as I promised. Aren’t you excited? You really should be. And if I know you in person fell free to do the [...]

School, meaning college for most of us either is a new experience or a continuation. Either it has already started or will in the coming few months. I didn’t feel the “I’m going to miss something” feeling when I did my early grad last year, but in the last few weeks its suddenly hit me. [...]

I’ll be out embracing summer vacation from the 15th to the 25th and upon my return I’ll engulf you with pictures and stories. Please behave yourselves while I’m gone. Chicago Wedding -> Montreal -> Boston -> Home

“A programmer once built a vast database containing all the literature, facts, figures, and data in the world. Then he built an advanced querying system that linked that knowledge together, allowing him to wander through the database at will. Satisfied and pleased, he sat down before his computer to enjoy the fruits of his labor. [...]

abbr. Actual laugh out loud. Since the outburst of geek-speak among the masses, LOL has reached the status of having no meaning due to over use. Chances are if someone says LOL to you they didn’t really laugh out loud, they just want to convey that your previous comment was funny. ALOL is for those [...]

I hadn’t checked the site in a few months, but I was surprised to find out that is has over 1000 users. I ran some stats about how many of those accounts are active and found that 623 are active and 32 have duplicate email addresses. Stats since v2 first opened for registration: I’ve decided [...]

I was pretty content with having nearly bare walls in my room until yesterday. Suddenly that’s all changed. So I pulled out the old color printer and started printing some of my own pictures out. I wish getting posters printed would get cheaper. Right now a 16×20 print runs for about $15 dollars from Costco. [...]

I was downstairs working on my mom’s computer and I got bombarded with pop-up windows. I promptly cursed Microsoft again, shut down IE, and downloaded FireBird. I’ve been using FireBird for so long now that pop-ups have almost become a thing of the past. Not only is FireBird a web-standards compliant browser its not even [...]

As I’ve been taking more and more pictures with my camera (Nikon 5700) I’ve come to realize that its not worth reducing file quality. I started shooting at 1024×768 and have moved up to 1600×1200 as my default size. Even though it still isn’t full size on my camera I find that 1600×1200 is a [...]

In attempts to centralize my user database for most of my projects, I came across the problem of having different access levels. If one level were higher then the other, the solution would be easy and a level four could be considered higher then a level three. Level four would have access to all of [...]

I’ve been following George Hincapie’s blog since the Tour De France started. Just some place to go to get some non-reporter style photographs of Lance Armstrong and the rest of the US Postal Service team. Who says famous people don’t blog? Its the new thing.

I swear, the average geek must have at least 3 dozen unused, three-foot phone cables. They come with every computer, every phone, every modem, every device, seemingly. I just opened a powerstrip box, and there was one in there. And it’s annoying, because it’s the type of item that implies just enough usefulness to deny [...]

Among other things, my blog has been reloaded. Been a while since I’ve actively blogged. I hope you all behaved yourselves in my absence. old photoBlog – here
