• No trumpets allowed.

  This is one of my favorite pictures from Krakow, taken aboard a streetcar…

• The view from my window.

• Share

  One more thought on Twitter before I am shown the exit… If it helps people communicate, god bless. And I mean that for all sorts of web services that are widely available to everyone and anyone. The Facebook photo application is horrible. The best photo sharing service is clearly Flickr (and for most users, the [...]

• Twitter Haze

  I know that I just blogged that Twitter is “as substantive as a pet rock,” and although I think that that is true, Twitter nevertheless can be an effective way of communicating, albeit 140 characters (spaces included) at a time. It is akin to walking into a crowded bar and hearing what everyone is saying. [...]

• Mother Jones and Rachel Maddow

  Last night I was the guest of honor for a fundraiser event benefiting Mother Jones, headlined by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. (Full disclosure: I have never been the biggest fan of Maddow. I also do not have expanded cable anymore, so in order for me to watch her program, I must view it online.) The event [...]

• Untagged

  Step two in my massive Flickr reorganization underway… Image: Flickr This is actually more time-consuming than geotagging, because a set of photographs may have the same location, but not the same people, activities or other aspects in the individual photographs that would be nice to differentiate with tags, say, a view of the Golden Gate [...]

• Extensa

  Saying goodbye is never easy, even if it is to a worthless piece of junk. I’m recycling my first laptop — the sturdy Acer Extensa 367T (the ‘t’ stands for TFT screen). I got it during the first semester of my freshman year in Syracuse, and I split the cost with my parents. I used [...]

• Geotagged

  Working one on my resolutions (the easiest one); finally less than 1000 remain to be geotagged… Image: Flickr

• Not Yet Resolved

  I am not one to make public my resolutions, but then again, I have a blog. I have not yet told my wife about these; she’ll learn soon enough. Also, these are my public resolutions, and not personal self-improvement ones… – Use Flickr more. A lot more. And start geotagging photos. It may be a [...]

• Flickr Pro

  It took me some time, but I finally fell in-love with Flickr. I post all my photos on the website, although they are set to private so that only family and friends can exclusively see them. It is all a part of me reducing my “web footprint.” What about the blog, you ask? Let’s just [...]

• Loose Ends

  I’ve taken on the task of cutting some loose ends of myself around the web. Over the years, I have sampled a lot of services, most of them junk. Plenty of them were not worth re-visiting, and despite a username/password, there is nothing really there. Elsewhere, however, I have personal information of photos or videos [...]

• Vimeo Conclusion

  I changed my Vimeo profile to address the fact that I’m all but leaving (or giving up on) the service. Flickr is more in line with what I am looking for, and the feature-challenged Vimeo (and the developer team’s seeming inability to consistently improve their product — with actual results, not further promises, etc.) is [...]

• Big Blue

  These events do not occur all that often, so when they do, I like to take some time and reflect. This past weekend, while camping in Lake Tahoe, I bid farewell to an old friend, Big Blue. Big Blue and I met by chance encounter, just a random find in the mysterious haystack we call [...]

• A’s Superfan Network: Phillies 4, A’s 0

  The A’s Superfan Network was on-air during last Wednesday’s much-hyped A’s / Phillies game in Oakland, a heated rivalry that goes back decades. Will Carter co-hosted. Special Guests: Aly Roth and Dev Millstein. And here’s a view from the perch where the podcast was conducted… $2 tickets and $1 hot dogs; bring the family.

• Home Depot Waste

  I stopped in the big box Home Depot near my house for some marking paint, and as expected, the receipt was literally larger than my purchase…

• Flickr Video Arrives

  My first thoughts on the release of Flickr video to pro-users (that’s me)… – The concept is right-on, the videos flow within the photostream seamlessly, a part of photosets and not considered as a separate entity. This is just what the doctor ordered. Vacation photographs and videos, all in one place. – Uploads are limited [...]

• Sabres 7, Sharks 1

  Last night, I was in attendance to root for my hometown Buffalo Sabres as they trashed the local San Jose Sharks, 7-1… The Sabres only come to town once every three years. At the end of the game, I summarized the evening, let’s say, concisely…

• A’s Superfan Network: Giants 4, Blue Jays 3

  On Monday evening, I was the gracious guest (again) of Tour for the Cure as they travel across the country to every baseball stadium. Last week, I went to the Oakland A’s game, and on Monday, it was the fancy San Francisco Giants, at their wondrous ballpark… The highlight of the game came when Barry [...]

• A’s Superfan Network: A’s 5, Red Sox 4

  A week ago the A’s Superfan Network podcasted the A’s incredible 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Eric Chavez ended the game in the bottom-half of the eleventh inning on a walk-off solo home run (which was podcasted live, listen to final chapter). The crew from Tour for the Cure, Tim Riley and Chris [...]

• Joshua Tree, Day Three (Part 1)

  Although Haley enjoyed the desert, the new smells, sights and creatures, it was so hot and dry, Haley needed to find a home beneath our car. She did this on her own, with no direction or encouragement. We set out on the day to get some scrambling in, a form of bouldering. I was new [...]
