This morning as I was walking out of my hotel to the parking lot I had a double-take trying to find my rental car. I had rented some Japanese mid-size white sedan. As is my habit I try to notice my license plate number when I rent a car to help locating it later should that become necessary.…

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).…

It’s sort of like a prequel to Braveheart from the Roman point of view. I mostly want to complain about the cinematography. The story is supposed to take place in the Highlands but the filmed it in a dark forest in Hungary.…

Ten years ago I walked into a VW dealership with a check and no ride home except for a little Vortex blue New Beetle setting on the lot. This month the car turns 10 and I just passed 170,000 miles on the odometer.
Ever wonder what ever happened to Christopher Robin when he got a little older and stopped playing with Winnie the Pooh? It looks like he changed his name to Harry Potter and well, you know the rest.
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.
