Hawaii Day 4
In yesterday’s post I mentioned how I overcame my shyness and it led to a good picture. That doesn’t mean I stopped taking candid photos. I wonder what she thought when she saw the camera pointed her way. Afterwards I shot some photos of the guy with a million balloons who happened to be passing…

Hawaii Day 3
I think everyone has seen a street performer painted in metal and dressed in clothes with a metallic-looking surface. I’ve seen them in Miami, Vegas, and Fort Lauderdale. But only in Honolulu have I seen three of them on the same street only a block from each other. At first when I saw the guy…

Hawaii Day 2
I forgot to mention, in my first post, that since I took all of my camera bodies and my GPS unit, I didn’t want to have to worry about setting it back to EST when I got back home, so I left everything in EST. So I decided to divide my days (for the purpose…

Hawaii Day 1
Last week I boarded a plane on a business trip to Hawaii. This time my wife couldn’t come along so all I had to do after work was attend to my photography. Let me back up for a second. I was supposed to leave on Sunday, so I got up at 0500 to be to…

Flickr Stuff
Unfortunately, the flickr map page for my account only shows the last 30 or so photos on the map. So it’s pretty rare to get it zoomed out this far to show your GPS shots. I keep wishing they’d show all the GPS tagged photos (using some algorithm to combine them into one dot if…

Another Reason The Web Rocks
A while back in time (but only two posts ago) I wrote about my first bike ride on the BWI trail. A few days later I got an email on Facebook: My name is Marty and I happened along your BLOG about biking at the BWI trail. My first time riding the trail was Saturday…

A Sunday Afternoon Bike Ride
There were a few things we were excited about being able to do once we had a house – do laundry without sharing the machines, get away from noisy wall/ceiling neighbors, BBQ in our yard, and own bicycles. Being extremely clean, we were unable to own bikes at the apartment because we had nowhere to…

Dina’s Tiki Party 2009
Last weekend I went to a graduation party Dina and Daniel organized to celebrate Dina, Ho, and Lauren’s graduation this year. It was a great BBQ event and I had a lot of fun. I only knew about 1/10th of all the people there, so I kept entertained mainly by ecording the events of the…

Review: Zenwalk 6.0
Back in Nov of 2008 I checked out Zenwalk 5.2 and a recent LXF contained Zenwalk 6.0 – so let’s see what has changed. It loads up with the usual Kernel messages going past on the screen. The first screen for the installation hasn’t changed one bit from Zenwalk 5.2. Once again, as before, I…

Photos from Brighton Beach’s Boardwalk
A few weeks ago I took yet another stroll on Brighton Beach’s Boardwalk. This famous boardwalk goes from Brighton Beach past Coney Island all the way to Seagate. This time around I took some iconic photos from the area. In other words, these are exactly the types of photos you would see included in any…

It falls to me to be the host of our proceedings to-day, as we celebrate a great achievement in the annals of this hallowed organization…

Dina’s Graduation
A few weeks ago I attended Dina’s Bachelor’s Graduation. After having attended my own as well as Daniel’s, I had some idea of what to expect, but this was the first college graduation I had attended outside of Cornell. (Not counting my dad’s graduation when I was young) I have have come to believe that…

Review: Ubuntu 9.04
This is going to be the first time I look at a fresh install of Ubuntu in a long while. I first installed Ubuntu quite a while ago and then I just kept distro upgrading from there on. Then I installed Crunch Bang Linux on my laptop. So now I will be testing the installation. …
