Temporary Offline Time Possible
I’m going to be moving my domain over to a new registrar in the next day or so (edit 14 Dec – I got extremely busy this weekend, so expect the possible change next weekend. At least this way there’s more warning time) and this site and other sites on this server may go offline…

The Global Warming Debate is Broken
Because of the upcoming talks at Copenhagen, everyone’s been talking about global warming recently. The news even featured a member of a Commonwealth government claiming that global warming is not true. In my own country, Republicans like to say that global warming isn’t true. The opposition parties in both countries disagree. Look, this debate is…

Photojojo for Late Nov to Early Dec
It looks like the theme is cake. Along with Kayla and something MS is famous for. This cake, by the way, was made by Dina. If you like, see the web version of the Photojojo time capsule here.

It’s Been an Interesting Year
I was looking at my flickr 20 most interesting photos and I realized that a healthy portion of them were taken this year. Six of the top 20, in fact, were taken in 2009. Here they are:

Reflections Inspired by a Chance Photo
I took this photo with my cell phone while I was in South Florida for my cousin’s wedding. It was just on a whim because I wanted to show some of my family what had changed when I wasn’t looking. Below is what I wrote on the description on flickr along with a little more…

We Don’t Really Want Innovation
Innovation is one of those things we pretend to want and then complain when it happens. It’s like women who say they want sensitive men who understand their feelings and then always fall for the bad boy. In the technology world, everyone always views copying with disdain. “Where’s the innovation?” they decry. Case in point,…

A Review of New Super Mario Brothers Wii
This is a game I have been waiting for ever since I played New Super Mario Brothers on my borrowed Nintendo DS. This is the purity of Mario. Screw all this 3D stuff. Yeah, it rocks to have a 3D space to run around in, but that’s not Mario. Mario is a side scroller and…

Fedora 12 Release Yesterday!
The latest version of Fedora is out. Get it here! I’ll probably give it about a month to get all the kinks out and then I’ll give it a shot and talk about it here. I’m excited for some new versions of programs like gPodder. I also want to check out Gnome Shell, the new…

Photo of the Day
When I saw this guy in a Georgetown cigar store I knew I had to photograph it before the day was over. On the way back to the train, I captured this shot. It creeps me out, but I had to capture it.

Renting a Camera Lens
For my cousin’s wedding I wanted to have a f/2.8 lens. I had had bad luck with my current lenses at Richard’s wedding because I couldn’t get good enough low light performance. So I decided to rent a Canon EF 24-70mm L f/2.8 lens. So not only will it be an f/2.8, but it will…

Ten Thousand Views!
This photos is my most viewed photo on flickr and today it reached 10,000 views! The pace of views has been insanely quick. (for one of my photos) It only had 5,000 views 18 months ago and ever since then I’ve been wondering when it would reach 10,000 views. Now the next milestone on the…

Happy Birthday Firefox!
I can’t believe Firefox has been around for five years! I remember first being introduced to tabs and it totally changing the way I surf the web. Back then it was a plucky upstart and didn’t even work with many websites that had been coded specifically for Internet Explorer. Now it has around 20% market…
