It's a blog.
I printed a few photos from the Ghana trip at the kiosk in the local CVS. The pictures came out great. QOOP.com is partnered with Flickr, where I upload all my photos. Oddly, it seems you must be logged into an account at one of their ‘partner’ sites to even see their offerings, so I [...]
From the, “I have no idea how I wound up at this website, but…” files, a neat tale of some people waiting for a train in NYC.
I’d really like to get into the mind of vandals. Tonight I was poking around Wikipedia and noticed that someone had just vandalized one of the pages. I reverted it (super-easy!), and then did what all good denizens of Wikipedia should do: I looked at the guy’s changes. He’d vandalized several other articles, all basically [...]
So yesterday I went into Boston to take some pictures, and last night I brought out the tripod and did some long exposures. The 10D shines at night exposures: a lot of cameras get very noisy on long exposures. This one was clean as a whistle. (A saying which really doesn’t make a lot of [...]
The cameras arrived today… Some first impressions… The 10D is big. I have one of the larger ‘point-and-shoot’ models that Fuji makes. But this thing is way bigger. It felt kind of awkward carrying it around. It’s not uncomfortable to hold or anything of the sort, it’s just big. It’s also pretty heavy. The 300D [...]
Dubai just bought 19.99% of NASDAQ. I’m no economic nationalist, but this is, umm… bad.

19 Sep 2007I was just reading something and realized… Three common ‘problems’ in America are pollution from all of us driving our SUVs, we’re all getting obese, and we’re using ridiculous levels of oil even as it becomes absurdly expensive. Why is the government not more aggressively promoting bicycling? When you ride your bike to work, you [...]
Kyle was raving about Mint this morning. I just came across it on Digg and looked into a bit. It’s got a very attractive website, and PC World raves about it. It’s sort like Quicken, only Web 2.0 based, and very, very spiffy. And free. It’ll keep up to date for you and everything. All [...]

19 Sep 2007I have a lot of business ideas that are extremely well-thought-out and that would almost certainly be great. These aren’t them. These are kind of vague ideas. But I think that they could be very successful, too. The reason I propose them isn’t because I want to make a lot of money with them, it’s [...]
I think I’ve mentioned that I’m running experimental software for my desktop environment. So every now and then it crashes. And the first time I log back in after my desktop environment crashes, I get this bizarre error: “Nautilus can’t be used now due to an unexpected error.” I know that Nautilus is GNOME’s file [...]
