Website

Okay, my photography site is finished. Did you hear that? Finished…except for one, tiny, itsy-bitsy thing.
No, I’m not sharing the link yet. I’m not telling you the URL. I’m not going to give you a sneak peek (primarily because it’s nothing special at all. And the reason I’m not letting you go there yet is [...]

Ads? Who Needs Them?

…besides the people who run the web-sites and rely upon funding from their advertisers, obviously (little downside).
But do you really want to see those ads? I don’t. And I used to avoid them by using AdBlock, a Firefox extension that blocked all ads from appearing. But that was in the days of my using Firefox; [...]

Star Wars According to a 3-Year-Old

This was so ridiculously heart-warmingly cute that I had to share.
And I don’t care if using the phrase “heart-warmingly cute” makes me sound like a girly man in your eyes. It IS heart-warmingly cute.

When Wax Attacks

You know, my computer was already messed up enough. It’s been getting progressively slower. The meager 80GB hard drive is insufficient for pictures and music (hence the 320GB Western Digital external drive). The battery lasts for much less than an hour if unplugged. And you can see for yourself what the screen has been [...]

Very Interesting…

I knew this would happen…
I felt bad about some things I wrote, so I’m (for the fourth time) deleting a post about the WPF. Every time I post, I remember something that I wish I’d either excluded or worded differently. Therefore it is gone.
I am sighing at this very moment. Try to imagine the sound.

The “J” Key

Okay, so I already feel conspicuous being the only individual in my poli-sci class who uses a computer to take notes. Everyone else is making a “scratchity-scratchity” sound with their pencils while I make a “tappity-tappity” noise with my keyboard.
Suddenly, my “tappity-tappity” turns into a “tappity-clink-whoosh-ping-ping-ping…”
Are you wondering what happened?
My PowerBook has gotten more use [...]

40D

I’m on a quest of sorts.
I’m really focusing on expanding this little photography venture that I’ve gotten myself into, but I didn’t anticipate how quickly I’d want to move up on the equipment side of things.
I don’t know exactly why, but I told my friend Baron one day that I was going to use some [...]

Someone Help Me Understand

This family FREAKS ME OUT!
From Yahoo News:
Look closely at the eyes. Makes you want to run in terror, doesn’t it?

Like mother, like daughter.

The “I KEEL YOU!” look (with obligatory pointed finger)

Heil Hilltler!

No, seriously…take a second, third, and fourth look at that last image.
“Your pant-suit RAWKS!”

“I will eat your soul, child!”

“I’m secretly giving you the bird [...]

Bad Lightning!

You would think that God’s creation would have a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
From DailyMail:
This amazing photograph gives whole new meaning to the phrase “May God strike me with lightning if …”
Rio de Janeiro’s world-famous statue of Christ the Redeemer was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm over the Brazilian city on Sunday.
The statue – which towers over [...]

Why McCain is McStaken

Heh…get it? McStaken…mistaken…
Okay, never mind. Let’s move on.

John McCain probably thinks that he is getting the Republican nomination for president (barring a serious miracle for The Huck) because a majority of Republicans have decided he’s the man for the job. Not so fast, Johnny Boy. Polls have shown that Republicans are staying home during the [...]
