Photojojo Time Capsule from Early Sept
This month finds me with getting two asian photos in my inbox from Photojojo. Either an amazing coincidence or they have some great code going on the in background. Interesting, the first one is a product of racism while the other is a product of love.

The End of Braid Part 1 of ?
warning: The following contains many spoilers about Braid. I, personally, feel that your enjoyment of the game will be greatly reduced by reading this ahead of time. You have been warned! I finished Braid last night. I did cheat a little. Of the 60 possible puzzle pieces, I used a walkthrough to get about 10…

First Look Review: Braid
That a game like Braid can exist is a statement on where video games are as an art form with a well-established history and canon. To make a parallel in the paint world: without a long canon of traditional paintings of tables with fruit and bread, people wouldn’t have really understood the “parody” or “remix”…

Rainbow
When I read this article in Digital Photography School, I posted the rainbow photo shown above as an example of how much I had to learn. Little did I know how much traffic that would generate for me. In just one day I got 172 views after having spent the past 26 days with 0…

Recently this photo was published by the Associated Press and has been getting a lot of attention on the interwebs. It shows Lance Cpl. Joshua Bernard, an American solder in Afghanistan, after being hit by a mortar attack and only hours before death. A lot of the debate participants seem to feel one way or…

Fun on a Sunday Afternoon
Danielle and I went to Rockburn Branch Park today to throw a ball around and maybe ride bike. We ended up not riding bike because we didn’t like the trail too much and my water bottle holder came loose from my bike. So we grabbed our gloves and brand new baseballs (we lost our previous…

Jen’s Wedding Part 2: Jen’s Creative Entrance
Jen was no where to be found at the wedding location because she was actually across the lake for her grand entrance. None of the guests at the wedding knew about this so everyone was very excited. I went on to the docks to photograph her entrance.

Rediscovery
Going over photos that were moving from one views group to another on flickr, I discovered this photo that I really love. I love how his head is cocked, I love the idea of a bird with a built-in shovel, and I love how sharp the photo came out.

Jen’s Wedding Part 1: The best camera is the one you have with you
Our good friend Jennifer Bonass got married a couple weekends ago. The wedding was out in Chestertown, Maryland – out near Ocean City. Since there’s only one bridge to get there, we left early to make sure we’d get there on time. We got there insanely early (1-1.5 hours early) so I decided to take…

It’s Back!
A while back I unveiled a web utility for telling when it was time to move a photo from one flickr views group to another. It got tons of hits. Then I switched my server and it all stopped working. Beej had gone to a new framework for traversing the XML and had some problems…

Update on the 365 Project
I first mentioned my participation in the 365 project back in May. Ever since then I’ve gone back and forth between filler photos and some of my best creative work. I’ve been trying as much as possible to explore different techniques and try to be as creative as possible. Here are my best shots since…

I don’t think this is the most efficient way to get there…
While looking up driving directions on Google Maps from Barcelona, Spain to Madrid, Spain, I clicked the option for “walking” directions out of curiosity’s sake. This is the quickest route they gave me for walking. I don’t think that’s the most efficient way to go. First of all, I can’t walk on water. Second, why…

Why?
I don’t even remember what I was going to search for in Google, but here’s what came up when I typed “why”. This is becoming a huge “sport” on the net – to see what Google gives you when you type something into the search. It’s the first time I got something fun.

Upgrading to Fedora 11
A few weeks ago I did an update to Fedora 11 using preupgrade. Nothing really broke other than iPods. My shuffle doesn’t work as well, but I’m working on fixing that. I also think that the updates are less annoying-looking and are more informative.
