Tree Going Red
And that is all the “foliage spotting” I plan to do. Photo taken with a Sony Ericsson Communicam attachment (on T300 phone).
Enterprise’s Autumn
Too bad Enterprise‘s ratings aren’t doing too well, just when the series is getting better. As with most Star Trek incarnations, it takes a few seasons to pick up the pace, and that’s what the third season has done for the series — never mind the massive problems of continuity posed by the Xindi and [...]
Dodging the Red Line
Major subway problems and slow, refugee-clogged buses forced me to trek to work on foot this morning, a 2.5 mile walk of about 45 minutes through windy, gray mid-autumn cold. At Judiciary Square near MCI Center, a group of suited Metro security (?) personnel milled out of a bus, unsure as to where the station [...]
Sox and Snake
Congratulations, Red Sox. So I was part-joking earlier this week that “all” the Sox had to do was win three more games in a row; then not only would they get to the World Series for the first time in eight years, but also make history as the first team to do so after coming [...]

Artsy NY/NJ Weekend
I was up in New York and New Jersey with Amy last weekend: Saturday morning at the Met to sketch some Old Masters, Saturday afternoon at the Forum Gallery to view the paintings of Paul Fenniak and Peter Greaves (we knew Peter from MICA; amazing artist — check him out), and Sunday at the Rahway [...]
Maybe he was an Agent
I wish I’d brought my camera to the office today. Some guy in a long, flowing, metal-studded black trench coat just drove under my window on a Segway. I didn’t know there were Segways in the Matrix.
Controlling the Infestation
AskMefi on cockroach extermination. I’ve been dealing with an infestation problem for the past few weeks now, even after bombing out the roaches’ main breeding grounds under the kitchen table and in the fuse box. They just move to a new spot in the room, and I can only spray Raid and apply Combat Gel [...]
Sox Resurrection?
Congrats go out to Ortiz and the Red Sox for snatching a win from the Yankees after 12 innings, narrowly avoiding a thourough 4-0 loss. Last night, I was sitting in the cafe car of a train heading home from New Jersey, getting updates from one of the [Bostonian] conductors via his GPRS phone, and [...]
Nighttime: Courthouse Cross and Nemo Window
My last three cameras — Pencam, Communicam, and Zire — had no flash, so I got used to drawing on existing lighting to illuminate my photos. It’s a habit I’ve carried over to the A400: the environment composes light and shadow for me, and I turn off the flash, using it only as filler for [...]
