Now that I’ve been posting things on Twitter, I notice I have a few followers. And the followers I have are mostly .NET developers. I was a bug .NET proponent a few years ago, but I haven’t actually written any C# code in a long time now, and I thought I’d talk about why. There […]
We were out and about yesterday when a photo opportunity presented itself that actually managed to saturate the image buffer in the 40D. I had to stop and wait while some of the images were flushed out to the CF card. High speed shooting is the only way to capture a toddler jumping in a […]
Almost a year ago, I wrote about Twitter: The only reason it’s interesting is that it’s reached a critical mass – but it’s so obviously *not* got staying power that I’m amazed so many people are so interested in it. It’s fun to play with for a little while, but I seriously doubt people are […]
Finally, the last remnant of the giant snow bank should be melting away today. Before: After: It’s great to be able to see the neighborhood again.
We’ve been using this video baby monitor that we received as a gift until just recently, when it started to die. Random bursts of static while you’re trying to sleep are just no fun. It’s an analog device, so the camera part is simply broadcasting audio and video at 900mhz, and the receiver picks up […]

SmugMug is an online photo sharing site that has a powerful API. I’ve been looking for a Mac based bulk uploader that will do things like skip duplicates and couldn’t find one, so I set out to write one using Flex Builder and Adobe AIR. I’m not done yet, but I’ve got all the pieces […]
Link rot is an epidemic. Websites are owned by marketing people, who don’t consider whether you’ll still be able to link to their current stuff in 5 years. The Web needs an indirection layer, something that you can link to, that will always point to current information about any given topic, product, or service. Turns […]
I managed to get WordPress to let me post images again (after upgrading WordPress), so here’s a few more. That last one is a massive panorama I put together using Photoshop CS3. I didn’t post the whole file – I doubt anyone really wants to see over 100 meg worth of my snowy back yard.
Actually a Snow Night.. here’s what it looks like outside: And it’s not done coming down yet!
