A Pedal in the Right Direction

( Photos and NOLA and Cycling )

The ribbon-cutting ceremony begins in 30 minutes, and I wanted to be there, but work has done.
Anyways, New Orleans has a bike lane! I had the opportunity to use it today - it runs down St. Claude Avenue (on both sides!), and is quite spacious. Hopefully as streets are repaired, more will be added where […]

One month after The Fall

( Ouch and Photos )

Well, one month ago tonight, I busted my knee open. When sitting, I can bring it to an almost 90° angle, and when walking, I’d say I’m down to a smaller limp. Stairs, however, make me feel like I should have been cast in Freaks.
Usually throughout the day, I gradually stretch the ligament instead of […]

HDR Photography

( Photos and Geekery and Linux/OSX )

I don’t remember where I got the original link, but this picture really got me interested in HDR Photography:

 
Not that I’m a photographer, or have a tripod, or anything really other than a point and shoot camera, but it really intrigued me. That photo, and many others (Flickr HDR pool) show the stunning results achieved […]

Bosceaux da Gama

( woof! and Photos )

This past Saturday, Bea got adopted. Well, not so much adopted, as she was chosen.
This is what happens when a dog enters your life. So, Bosceaux da Gama is in ours.

Bea came up with his first name, but I brought the spelling and the surname. The part I love is that unbeknownst to her, my […]

Ironically, I didn’t cry

( Photos and Amusing )

Last night at NOLA Tattoo, my friend Roxan got to ink her 3rd victim, and I got my second tattoo: a tear on my right index finger.

 

When I got home, I had forgotten to get some lotion/moisturizer. I was waiting for Bea to tell me that perhaps I should cry about/on it, but that moment […]

LOLstache

( Photos and Amusing )

Let’s see yours! Getcha new LOLs! Join the flickr pool!

Sorry for crunchy image, hosted by flickr and the available resolutions aren’t many.

Snakes on a Face Campaign, ‘08

( Photos and Amusing )

Prompted by Sonny’s progress and picture, I reckoned that an update on my end was needed.
So, the current status of the snake on my face:

What is snakes on a face? It was a contest in 2006 between me, Sonny, William (the then-roommates boyfriend), and Jeremy. The whole point was to see who could annoy their […]

Office, 2008

So, my new bookshelf came in today. Looks good, but methinks I should have gotten a wider one. Meh.
Well, here’s some pics of my new bookshelf and the current state of my home office. Click on the images for flickr-y extras.

Knock, Knock. Who’s There?

( Photos and NOLA )

One thing I picked up in NC (besides yer moms (sorry, had to)) that I do really like was this:

There is no doorbell here, and I was thinking that next hardware store trip, I’d pick up one of them fancy wireless doorbells. I wasn’t too keen on it, but I’m much happier with this. It […]

Our Hero is Aging

( Photos and NOLA )

There is grey in my beard. Not a whole lot mind you, but it is there. There is also (according to Bea) some on the back of my head, on the left side. I can’t see it, therefore it must not be there.
Yep, I’m getting old. If the grey wasn’t enough evidence, I present unto […]
