Aren't We Better Then This?

Gruber of Daring Fireball is twittering a couple images, here, of McCain from the final debate with messages like �Not Photoshopped� and �Seriously, whats wrong with this man?�. Now, I�m as big of an Obama supporter as I can be and truly feel McCain is more of a character then a cand

An article about some of the history of the soon to be former New York Mets home. An interesting read.

Protective Film

I was at a coffee shop the other day and there was a man there using his laptop. Not an unusual occurrence of course, thats at every coffee shop these days I think. What set this guy apart was that he had never taken the protective film that ships on the computer off. Now, this is a pet peeve of mine, and it's one of the first things I do when I get something new. But it made me wonder why he

iTunes 7.7 and CoverSutra 2.1 Do Not Play Nice.

Apple recently updated iTunes to version 7.7 to coincide with the release of the iPhone Application Store *This link will open the application store in iTunes*. Since the release of this update, I've noticed that I can no longer use CoverSutra to do music searching. At

Nick Brandt: African Wildlife Photography

Check out some of the amazing photos taken by Nick Brandt of African wildlife. Some of them are simply stunning.

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

It is stuff like this that has forced me to stop watching Baseball Tonight. If they can get Eric Young to stop saying "souvenir city" every 10 seconds, they might have a chance of getting me back. Yes, congratulations Eric, you found a ca

"The Country" by Billy Collins

I'm not much of a poetry guy, but I heard this one a few years ago and it's always stuck with me. I hope you enjoy it.

"The Country" by Billy Collins

I wondered about you
when you told me never to leave
a box of wooden, strike-anywhere matches

The Big Picture

There is a great photo blog done by The Boston Globe called The Big Picture. I've been following it for a few weeks now and it really is great. Every few days a new topic is chosen and roughly 10 to 15 images are given with small subtext to explain their content. Th

Coldplay And The Mystery Of The Identical Melody

Sounds insanely similar to me.

WALL-E Does Not Disappoint

I got to go see Pixar's latest film Wall-E last night. All I can say to you is "Go, and go now!". It's hard to say where Wall-E fits in the overall ranking of Pixar films, just because of it being the newest one, but I think time will make Wall-E one of the top, if n

Omnifocus A Bit Blurry?

While I'd love to take credit for digging this up, I have to credit John Gruber's Daring Fireball for pointing me to these gems. Matt Neuburg is reviewing Omnifocus for TidBITS, and is less th

Does My MacBook Pro Have A Thing For Dave Matthews?

It all started innocently enough, as most relationships tend to. Just like any other day, I opened up iTunes and added some music. Little did I know that it was going to be the start of something magic. It would seem that my MacBook Pro, named Sven, following in the path of such artificially intelligent giants as Johnny

Mets Mess

As a life long New York Mets fan I can feel nothing more then embarrassment today over the firing of Willie Randolph as manager. It's been quite obvious for weeks that Willie was on the way out and that members of his staff would be going with him. But this mo

Ready To Come Back

Well, it's been a little while since I've put up anything on here. I haven't died or anything. The move is complete, and we been out looking around DC a couple times. I was able to get some pictures of the new apartment online, and you can see that in the gallery. I have some more stuff up on my flickr page from around DC as w

How Going To The Movie Theater Should Be

At one time in my life I used to love watching movies. I'd get really excited about a movie coming up and I'd be in line to see it on the opening night. After nearly five years of working at Blockbuster Video, that excitement is no longer there. While I'd love to just blame Blockbuster, I can't. With ticket prices constantly

Congrats!

A huge congrats to the teams at NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for safely setting down the Mars Phoenix Lander today. In an age where human flight is an everyday occurrence and space flight is relegated to page two news behind the latest "American Idol" dish, let us not

I Am Still Here

Well, things are starting to get a little busy around here, and as a result I haven't been able to do much on that site. Well, at least not anything that can be seen by you yet. I'm working on getting the photo gallery up and running which is taking up most of my time when I do have time to be on the computer. Other then that, it's been nothing but packing and getting ready for the move.<

A Music Genome Project Eh?

I'm sure a lot of you out there have heard of Pandora.com before. I've known about it for a little over a year now. For those of you not in the know, Pandora is a website that allows you stream music to your computer based on a single search criteria. These criteria can be the name of a song, the name of an artist or even a genre. As an example, typing

PhotographyVoter

PhotographyVoter.com is an interesting site featuring a Digg type system of submitting photo related stories and allowing users to vote on what should be displayed higher on the page. While I've only been reading it for a few days, there have been some very interesting articl

Eric Ryan Anderson Photography

I came across the photography of Eric Ryan Anderson today. I really like his "scenic" collection, which included shots of Dallas, Denver, and (my personal favorite) New York City. I think the one I like most is the shot at the Planet Hollywood intersection. Looks like it has a bit of a tilt shift effect to it. Really nice w

Photography Survival Kit

Lately, I've gotten kind of addicted to taking pictures which has lead me to reading a lot of photography blogs. The other day I came across this post about essential things you need to have with you for taking good photos. While it's mostly common sense, I liked a lot of what they mentioned i

2160p HDTV!? I Just Got Discovery Channel At 1080i!

From tgdaily.com comes this article about Samsung showing off a new concept TV measuring 82 inches and featuring a 2160p display. The article goes on to say that it's just a prototype and that it's not meant for mass market yet, but still, I think it speaks for what is on the way. I'm going to need a bigger wall.

Problems In Internet Explorer

It's come to my attention that this site absolutely sucks in Internet Explorer. You have my sincerest apologies. I'm working on trying to get it looking right, but it's going to take me a little time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Frantic Pigeons!

I think I've been playing too much Grand Theft Auto IV. I was watching Frantic this morning, and there is a scene where Harrison Ford is walking on the roof of a building in Paris. As he makes his way

CoverSutra

I listen to music a lot throughout the day. I'm not one of those people that have 100GB of music setting on their hard drive, but I have a fair amount, and it's nice to always have it on while I work. I've been pretty content with how I listened to my music over the years. I started off using Nullsoft's Winamp back in the day. It was a great player, yo

Dead Body Lies In Apartment For 35 Years

From CNN comes an article about a woman who died an estimated 35 years ago in her flat, and who's body has laid there since. I can't even begin to comprehend how that happens.

Wall-E Spotted in LA

Becky and I recently took a trip to Chicago. It was a very brief trip, but we had a great time. We took a bus tour of the north s

William Christenberry

My Wife and I took a trip to the University of Michigan Museum of Art(UMMA) this afternoon. We've lived in Ann Arbor for 6 years and always meant to go, but never did. Now, as we near the end of our stay here, we are trying to do some of the things we said we would do, but never did. Without looking to see what was being exhibited, we headed down

The First Post

Wow. Well here it is, the first official post to the new site. It has taken me more time then I would like to admit to get to this point, but we finally are here. While I mention them in the Thanks page I'd like to do it again here and say thank you to both Becky and Felipe. Becky for encouraging m
