My brain dump after upgrading to WordPress 2.5
Can you believe how far blogging has come over the last few years? I can’t. I could go on and on about the history of blogging, how I’ve used it over the years, and where it is now that I find really surprising – but instead I just wanted to take a moment or two […]

Chippewa Lake Park, today
Chippewa Lake, a now abandoned theme park in Ohio, was once a booming park full of ride enthusiasts and families on vacation. Now it is a rundown, dilapidated and overgrown patch of woods. Sort of like a deep sea shipwreck turned coral reef. This photoset by Flickr user Brian B. shows the current state of […]

Chris M. Johnson wants to bring it all together too
Chris M. Johnson is also going to start to consolidate his "stuff": "One of the problems with all the new and wonderful applications that are coming about as part of the Web 2.0 movement is that information is spread out all over the internet. It can become quite easy to find yourself stretched thin when […]

Peel away wine labels
Finally! Someone has made some progress in innovation of wine labels. This one allows for a peel away portion to help you remember the wine later on. I know that a lot of people carefully peel away wine labels, or do it "Catch me if you can" style, but now you won’t need to. Neat […]

I just have to link to this. A reporter from the NY Times was assaulted for trying to take photos of people putting up illegal posters.

If by 800 followers you mean…

A video demonstration of the iPhone macro lens
Immediately following my post about the iPhone macro lens my site nearly "went down" because of using up too much bandwidth. Shortly after that people were wondering why I hadn’t created a video demonstration of how it works. Well, here it is. Sorry for the quality of the video, it could have been better, but […]

Veerle’s photos of New York City
I’m not sure if her intent was to have the same, yellowish hue across all of the photos but I think it adds something to them. They all feel warm, even though the weather seems cold. Also of note: I’ve been to New York City and somehow she’s found a few perspectives I’ve never been […]

Bringing it all together
Ever since the day I began posting my photos to my site, rather than on a photo-sharing service like Flickr, I’ve had the desire to slowly bring all of my "stuff" onto my site rather than spread out through the Interwebs. As it stands I post what I’m currently doing to Twitter, I am testing […]
