Yahoo! Mexico posted a photo I took last halloween on the front page of their site. That’s pretty cool. Almost 6,000 people have clicked through to view the photo page today alone, making it now my most viewed photo on Flickr. The mummy was back again this year, and I got a shot of it... »
I keep being surprised by how much fun I still have with photography, especially after almost 2 years of shooting every single day. Shooting silly things, not worrying about perfection or production quality. Experimenting. Having fun. Although sometimes it feels like I just keep shooting the same boring things over and over again,... »
I should probably do this on a regular basis – last friday of every month? I just finished running rsync backups of the servers I manage, burning a copy of my entire hosting account to DVD as well. I updated a bunch of software (Adobe CS3 – oh, MAN that’s an annoying/slow updater; Ubuntu... »
I don’t remember when the last time was that the front page of my blog only went back 3 days. I’m definitely blogging more after dropping out of twitterville. Definitely having more fun with the blog, anyway. »

I was just invited to enter an entirely reputable “blog awards” contest, for the low, low entry fee of only $195 – but ACT NOW! The entry fee goes up to $275 in January! I can’t wait to be invited to attend the Nigerian Dead Relatives Blog Directory Awards… »
I still don’t miss twitter one bit – but I’m finding that I do miss the sense of connection to many of the people that I saw primarily on twitter… I’m finding I get bursts of realtime communication – sometimes people pop up via IM – and smaller bursts of asynchronous – emails, flickr... »
Oh, yeah. Cruz is easily the nicest browser I’ve used. I’ve got it running in fullscreen mode on my MacBook Pro – laugh at me for using full screen mode if you like, but I’ve always enjoyed BIG browser windows… It’s not perfect, to be sure, but it sure is niiice… »
Cruz is a new webkit-based browser that supports Greasemonkey scripts, plugins, and stuff like integrated tinyurl creation and a full screen mode. It can generate thumbnails for search results on Google, and has a CoverFlow view of search results. Very cool stuff. I think I’ll be switching… Hey! You got Firefox in my Safari! You... »
