LOOKIT IS TEH BROWNPAU GOOGLE PAGE! So Google Pages gives you 100MB of free HTML and image hosting, a WYSIWYG editor with limited HTML coding capability and themability, and a googlepages.com subdomain. The markup produced isn’t so great, though: lots of crufty tag soup with deprecated elements and invalid code. For me, it’s just part […]
(Mantis Shrimp, uploaded by brownpau.) My brother took this with a Canon Powershot A70 on our diving trip to Verde Island in December 2004. It’s a mantis shrimp, or a stomatopod. Here’s what stomatopods look like in their larval stage. More just-uploaded photos of Christmas 2004 to New Year 2005: JFK-DXB-MNL, Christmas in Manila 2004, […]
(capitol-at-twilight, uploaded by brownpau.) Walking by the Capitol on my way home after a long day in November of 2004. See full size panorama here.
(Set1294_01, uploaded by brownpau.) They are not nuclear wessels, but wessels nonetheless. Taken June 2004 with a very fuzzy-lensed Zire 71. Update: I added this photo to the Flickr Star Trek Group Pool, but the admin removed it. Bunch of humorless Vulcans.

As promised, photos from today’s Snowy DC photo safari: (Full album here) I’m especially proud of this one: a full 360° (and then some) panorama of the view from by the Washington Monument, which I have dubbed “The Grand 360+° Washington Monument Hilltop Panorama of Snowy Freedom.” Click on the thumbnail below to get the […]
Snow! Looks to be about 6-8 inches here in downtown DC as of 8am, so I’m going out to the Mall to get some photos before church. I’ve had the webcam pointing out the window all night; I’ll upload a timelapse of the gathering snow when the storm’s over. (You know what’s funny? I was […]
(MLK Day 2003, uploaded by brownpau.) Taken on a random skate around the Lincoln Memorial a few weeks after I moved back to DC.
To save money on my regular trips north to visit Amy, I am increasingly relying on discount Chinatown bus lines to get me from DC to New York. Last Friday I decided to try the Washington Deluxe bus that leaves from right by my apartment: a mistake I probably will not be repeating. The bus […]
