Anybody who’s reading my web site (except for maybe my Mom), probably already knows about Jonathan Coulton. He is a big ol’ internet superstar after all. I’d been hearing him on various podcasts and in other dark corners of the internet for a while now. I like his stuff a lot. It’s funny and geeky [...]

I’d heard about Dr. Horrible, but I didn’t pay much attention until today. The first of a 3 part episode was out yesterday. The 2nd is out tomorrow. You have until July 20th to see all 3 on the internet. It’s better than I would have expected. Very high production values, and a quirky sense [...]

Santa Barbara puts on a French Festival to celebrate Bastille Day weekend, so I headed up there to check it out. It was a little smaller than I was expecting/hoping. I’m not sure it’s really worth the drive all the way to Santa Barbara to see it (especially given the price of gas these days), [...]

I headed over to Marina del Rey to celebrate America’s birthday and make some photos of fireworks. I really need something in the foreground to make these shots a bit more interesting. I had hoped I might get some water reflections, but I wasn’t set up in a good place for that, and I ended [...]

Man, I don’t get this Donald Duck cartoon. I mean it’s pretty clear that it’s supposed to be anti-German during world war II, but it seems like they passed up a lot of opportunities for jokes in favor of play up the drudgery of working in a German factory. Is that really the best propaganda [...]

It was kind of hot today, and in an effort to get out of my oven of a home to enjoy the great outdoors, I grabbed my camera and headed over to the South Bay Botanical Garden. I’ve been there a few times before, and I knew that in the heat most of the plants [...]

Just setting a memory point to come back to 99 Flickr Groups for Design Inspiration later when I have time to go through them all.

I spent a nice Saturday afternoon at Kenneth Hahn Park in Culver City. I had my camera with me, and you can see a few Park photos. I’m happy to say I finally managed to get a shot of a humming bird. It isn’t great, but I did get it, so that’s something.

I spent the past week or so working my way through 5 years worth of Questionable Content back archives. It’s a web comic strip. On April Fools Day, this super geeky comic that I love, XKCD switched comics in a round robin “prank”. I read a few, and was kind of interested in the characters. [...]
