I love the way this picture turned out. I took it from the road to NRAO off US 60 at dusk. I’m looking west, obviously. The picture has not been photoshopped or in anyway altered other than setting it as my iPhone lock screen wallpaper I have a similar image in my Sunlight album on Picasa (some rights reserved).…

I downloaded a great program call Blotter 1.2 (Mac App Store $9.99) that puts your calendar on your desktop. I really like this app. I have it set to start up automatically when I log in. I don’t really care to see it on my dock.…

I recently visited Seminole and took some pictures of my old haunts. This is a picture of my aunt’s hold house on Ridge Road. It was once dubbed the

This picture of Kristen Stewart is very disturbing in the uncanny valley sense by its lack of symmetry. The right side of her face looks like Robin Tunney. The left side of her face reminds me of Angelina Jolie. It’s like a bad photoshop fail.
Since the release of FaceTime .9 (92) I have been unable to run it on my laptop with an SSD. Whenever I launched FaceTime the app would start without an error but it would be lacking the controls on the right side.…
