We drive past these houses every year so, with new camera in hand, I thought I’d finally stop and wander around Eufaula a bit and try to capture what we find so appealing about these buildings. Boy! There is a LOT of traffic, especially truck traffic that comes through this little place…
Mich and I spent the past weekend (we made it a long weekend) in Panama City Beach. We stayed at a condo unit at “The Origin at Seahaven“. In the pictures you can see what the unit looked like and the view that we had. “The Origin” is actually across “Front Beach Road” from the … Continue reading Panama City Beach Pictures
Despite the somewhat corny advertising (“And that’s no bull!”) the food and service at Angelo’s Steak Pit are both excellent. It is *really* hard to get a steak cooked properly nowadays and I have to say that this Panama City Beach restaurant does it right. There is a distinctively road-house look to this place, so … Continue reading Angelo’s Steak Pit
Brandon hosted a pleasant gathering at his new place. As usual, you always think you take WAY more pictures than you actually do. Even more perturbing was the fact that I *completely* forgot to get a picture of the host himself! Anyway, classy move having a barkeep. Someday, if I save up, I can have … Continue reading Brandon’s Housewarming
I’m pretty psyched. I’d done a fair bit of research and I think this Nikon D60 (Wikipedia link) will let me do the kind of photography that I want to do. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with a camera that allows you to play with pretty much any aspect of the picture … Continue reading New Nikon D60 has arrived

Suffice it to say that I did enjoy the fact that teleportation was almost a background aspect of the story. There was no real attempt to rationalize … Continue reading Jumper: A Novel by Steven Gould
Just posted some pictures from Shih Fang and Ken’s Spring Get Together.
I like my popcorn. When Michelle is out for the evening I can quite happily make do with a supper of popcorn with cheesy seasoning. 11 Years ago I was in a Target and spotted the popcorn maker below. It was inexpensive ( under $15) and came with a simple recipe that I’ve tweaked a … Continue reading Perfect Popcorn
This morning I noticed that my mouse (Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0) was acting a little wonky. When moving the mouse smoothly over the mousepad, the cursor would go about 3/4 of the expected distance and then pause and then maybe go a little further. All the while I was continuously moving the mouse. It was … Continue reading Sluggish Optical Mouse
I’ve been scanning older pictures and have begun posting some of them on Flickr. Nearly all of them were taken with my Praktica LTL3 camera back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. If you knew me back then, take a peek! This is an ongoing project so they’ll be going up over the next … Continue reading Started posting Black and White photos
