Alexandar Safonov’s bull shark photos are awesome. All of his work is.

Absolutely stunning photography from Timothy O’Sullivan in the 1860s and 1870s. He would have had an amazing Instagram account.

On the heels of last night’s lightning storm, we had a moth on our deck this morning. Moth on the porch click the moth for more photos He still hasn’t flown away. I am thinking maybe he’d be good for the diet. How many calories in a moth anyway? Update: Turns out this is a…

Today is my 15th Anniversary. My wife Eliza and I have known each other our entire lives — in fact, her mother was pregnant with her when she visited my mother in the hospital after giving birth to me. So, really, this is like our 33rd or 34th anniversary. For the first time in many…

Me, in June: Actual judgements about the hardware aside (since, unsurprisingly, these aren’t yet on the market) this looks like the best work to come out of Microsoft since the Xbox 360. This isn’t me grading on a curve either. I’m not giving them extra points for finally making something that looks like it could…

I blame my mother for turning Eliza and I onto pre-dinner Manhattans.

Brett Terpstra, the guy behind nvALT (among many other things) which is literally open all day long on my Mac, was recently featured on Shawn Blanc Sweet Mac Setup series. Excellent all the way through. So much software. I’m an app junky, and I try everything that I’m remotely interested in. Even some things I’m not. I…

Matt Honan of Gizmodo: The site that once had the best social tools, the most vibrant userbase, and toppest-notch storage is rapidly passing into the irrelevance of abandonment. Its once bustling community now feels like an exurban neighborhood rocked by a housing crisis. Yards gone to seed. Rusting bikes in the front yard. Tattered flags.…

You’ve all been following Roz’s adventures since [I recommended that you do a few years ago](http://cdevroe.com/links/rozsavage/), right? If you haven’t you should know that [earlier this month she became the first woman to row three oceans](http://www.rozsavage.com/2011/10/04/ive-done-it/). >"I’ve done it! After 5 months and 0 days at sea, I am absolutely over the moon to be…

Everyone and their mother’s dog is linking to Richard Stallman’s rider but it is simply too good to pass up. It is laugh-out-loud funny and so incredibly detailed that I highly recommend, if you haven’t already read it, that you grab your favorite evening beverage and read the entire thing. I recommend a Jameson and…

Chris Coleman on Twitter last night: All of the things that are great on iOS are the same things that are absolutely worthless in OS X Lion. Since upgrading to Lion I’ve come to love many of the iOS-lessons-learned that Apple had decided to bring "Back to the Mac" and so I was puzzled by…

This might get a little long in the tooth so you may want to top-up that beverage. Google has run me over like a freight train. Over the last few weeks I’ve been living on it instead of Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare. In fact, I made the prediction that Google could replace many of the most…

I have to say, this makes very little sense. It is the Chrome team’s prerogative to add or remove any feature from their browser that they’d like to but the reasons they’ve given simply do not make much sense. At least not from my desk or the desk’s of others. John Gruber, as he typically…

The world of information is speeding up. It has been since the beginning of man. What used to take years to get from one end of a continent to the other now takes an instant of time to span the globe in all directions. This is a good thing. Now more than ever in history…

I’m less happy with the result of this painting process than I have been for any of my other paintings to date. The result is pretty horrible and it is no where near what I had intended. I thought that I should take some images of the process for this piece so that I can…

My friend Andrew’s mother Rita recently broke her ankle while hiking. Andrew wrote about it on his blog. The post is both touching and honest. It reminds me of the better days of blogging when people wrote journal entries rather than gadget reviews. When people wrote about how much their day sucked rather than how…

London’s White Fang – a story about a wolf whose mother was part dog and father full-on wolf, told mostly from the wolf’s perspective – is full of detail. I don’t know what inspired London to write White Fang but whatever it was it must have driven him to climb into caves, chase small animals…

Eliza, my mother-in-law Carla and I took a drive last week to visit a few wineries along the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail. Due to winter hours, a long lunch, and some shopping – we only got to two wineries along the trail. The first winery was Amoré in Nazareth, Pa. Although having recently been through a…

Terry Gross, by far my favorite radio personality to whom I listen religiously, was interviewed in 1998 on Mothers Who Think for Salon Magazine by Lori Leibovich. I love these few bits. First, a little about Terry’s reputation. "Marcus isn’t the only journalist to swoon over Gross — other colleagues speak of her with reverence,…

Continued from Day two: The shell. The warmth of the egg startled him at first. He never expected, in this cold, for the egg to be as warm as it was. Putting his hand back on the egg he tried to gauge the temperature of this massive, greenish egg that had suddenly appeared in his…

For our 10th anniversary, which was on the 27th of August, we received an incredible gift from Eliza’s mother Carla – an anniversary party in our favor. Since she told us many months in advance that she was going to throw us this party we were able to help with some of the planning and,…

Google is constantly updating their products. Most of these updates come via their "Labs" where they test out crazy and sometimes even crazier ideas for possible features and updates to their products. Google Image Search somewhat recently added the ability to search by color. Which I think is fantastic! Here is a search for moth,…

I’ve wanted to have a bird feeder on one of our windows for a while. I’ve looked a few times for one and somehow turned up empty handed. Last week Eliza returned from a shopping trip with a $1, suction cup powered, bird feeder for our window! Thanks Eliza! This morning at 8:30AM I hung…

Before a dinner with some family at my mother-in-law’s this weekend I had the chance to walk around her backyard, which just happens to be a very large field with two streams and a small tree covered hill on it, and take a few photos. Here are some that I am choosing to share.

For this episode of No Reservations I thought I’d jot down some notes while I watched the episode. So here they are, in order as they happened while I watched the show, and without any editing. The opening sequence comparing the states of mind of areas like Los Angeles to the fact that Chicago is…

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Though I can count, on one hand, the number of times I’ve been to Chicago – I know that I don’t particularly care for the city. It may have to do with the bad experiences I had there – I mean, I did see a few million dollars slip through my fingers during…

Update: February 2, 2009: I need more offers! Although some of the offers have been intriguing – I really haven’t found anything that truly fits and that I would feel happy to promote. So if you would like to advertise your product or service for an entire year on a blog post that gets (as of today)…

My long-time friend Chris Fehnel has launched a new video blog called Eat Weird. The premise is simple; Live well, Eat Weird. You see, many times us Americans (and perhaps many of you reading this that are not Americans) tend to think certain foods taboo. That is, you think they’re weird. Maybe you grew up…

Everyone and their mother has linked to this, so you’ve probably already seen the photos that Jeff Bridges took when on-set for Iron Man. But, if you haven’t, you can say you heard about it here first. As I "thumbed" through Bridges’ book I can’t help but think that more people, like Jeff Bridges, should…

My wife got an itch to finally paint our apartment’s living room and hallway. On Monday and Tuesday Eliza and her mother took it upon themselves to follow-through with that and did an amazing job with our living room.  Here is a set of photos taken with Eliza’s iPhone using the Pano app. It turned…
