Vacation 2009 is concluded, this time I mean it
I failed to complete the Vacation story (which turned into a series) as promised but hey this worked out better since there’s a picture of something which counted as my birthday dinner with the Silders. All I’ll say in my … Continue reading

Vacation 2009 is concluded, part two
Sorry I’m late wrapping this up, the last half of the week was exhausting. I guess I wasn’t use to the heat, the work and resisting the urge to play Lego Batman. Actually, I kept passing out shortly after getting … Continue reading
Quick pictures from the day in DC
Yesterday we went into the city via a very crowded Metro (still undergoing maintenance which is the aftermath of June’s well-publicized accident). I think Washington should hire some of those dudes from Japan who know how to shove people in. … Continue reading

A scene from the next AVP movie
By adding the pink bow to let you know the Alien is a girl, this will reach out to the important 12-25 female demographic who are into Hannah Montana and the stuffed tiger covers the 3-11 year olds. Maybe the … Continue reading

Somara’s Whatnot Muppet arrived!
Somara’s late (or early) Christmas present from FAO Schwarz was left at our door last night: her official Jim Henson Muppet Whatnot (fancy term for an extra). I was very impressed with it. Hers was certainly better made than the … Continue reading

A “spotted” owl in the dollar bill
We didn’t have any luck getting pictures of the 43 presidents miniaturized on my co-worker’s green card because they’re drawn on a reflective surface which was the original plan this week; all the pictures came back as just black. However, … Continue reading

A picture of a blurry, blue forest?
A co-worker scored the Bionicam online and brought it in for some video experiments. What a cool toy! It functions on the same/similar principles as our digital camera: you take pictures in JPEG or movies in AVI, they’re stored on … Continue reading

Somara’s belated Christmas gift, her own Muppet
My wife is a huge fan of Jim Henson and most things involving the Muppets (Farscape, their movies, so on). Thanks to FAO Schwarz, they have an exclusive set up to construct customized, unique Muppets as a gift; what they … Continue reading

30GB Zune’s weren’t the only temporary failures
I had to get a picture of this when I went to the Post Office last week to ship several overdue packages on New Year’s Eve. Personally, I don’t mind interacting with the postal workers but if my stuff is … Continue reading

Spaaace Ghooost!
How I love Austin. I get to meet famous people all the time! Ever since I shook hands with Oliver Stone at the Dog & Duck in 1994, I have had many brushes with greatness. Seriously though. This fellow Apple … Continue reading

Why we had a rough, long week with one car
All that money over a little piece of metal! Last week, my 12-year-old VW Golf gave us a horrible scare on 183. We were barreling south on the freeway, doing the speed limit when Somara (who was driving at the … Continue reading

Amulet of the Annoyed Grunt +5
Here’s a little trinket I bought impulsively in Las Vegas last week. It’s supposed to be a variation on Mardi Gras beads but I immediately thought would be perfect in our gaming group. The player (or DM) has to wear … Continue reading

Vegas V: Day Six – Meandering Around, Taking Pictures
Due to the late (and awesome) evening before, we took it much easier and there really wasn’t much to report back that was new, so this will be heavier on the pictures. In the end I did lose our Video … Continue reading

Bumpersticker joke of the day
Haven’t had one of these pictures in a while and with the iPhone’s built-in camera, it’s even easier to catch now. The vehicle had Texas plates but I guess it originally came from California because the equivalent of Tijuana for … Continue reading

A modern dinosaur spotted in my yard!
I say…I say, what an odd and unexpected visitor we had upon our doorstep after dinner. That’s the best Foghorn Leghorn I can do on the fly. Still, I figured it was inevitable because chickens like to wander and there’s … Continue reading
