    I was working on Reagy’s website and I got up to take a bathroom break. As I was standing there, I looked up and saw la luna peering through top of the window at me. I thought I may as well have some photo fun. The first one is with a 40mm at f/22 for…

    I have been back and forth about the whole Facebook conundrum, several times. You may recall this post. Then, almost a year later, I caved under peer pressure and reactivated my account. I have to admit that some aspects of it have been really pleasant. I’m still not 100% keen on it, though. Possibly still…

    One of my favorite times of the day, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, is the last 10 minutes of my workout session. This may sound totally retarded, but whatever. I endearingly refer to those 10 minutes as, “nap-time.” After 30-90 minutes of running, then a 60 minute workout, I get to just lay there on…

    Much love to the b-berry cam. They always come out gritty and distorted, just the way I like ’em. My metrocard is a 30-day ride, that starts counting days, from the first swipe. They come to me in the mail. So, when I get a new one, I just put it in my wallet, so…

    I cracked up, when I saw these today. Calvin Klein is relasing them this October. They are the CK USB Frames. The frames contain a USB flash memory stick that holds 4GB. I think that this may be the coolest nerdy thing that has been invented, to date. They will be featured in “Ocean’s 15,”…

    I have been keeping a photblog at photos.jakesnewblog.com for a couple of months. At first I really liked it. I liked making the photos show up 1000px wide, and all that jazz. But I really haven’t been feeling it lately. So I have decided to totally abandon the daily photoblog, for a quick and dirty…

    I have been wanting to do this for a while. I could have probably just ditched the skinny side bar that was on the left, but for some reason I like creating work for myself. I wanted to widen out the main content column, so that I could put wider photos in the posts. The…

    I seriously can’t believe that it is July 2009. I guess part of it is likely due to the fact that May and June were just one large rainy blob. This year, NYC missed the June rainfall record by 1/4 of an inch. Now, get ready for a bunch of randomness. Today is also Canada…

    I’m hopping on the nerd train for this post. Ok, I guess that I always have at least one foot on the nerd train (despite my attempts to act like I don’t). I have been extremely busy for the last little while, in just about every area. There have been a few moments that were…

    As threatened, the latest version of JKE is now up and running. It can be found here, or at www.jke.jakesnewblog.com. I haven’t been able to get the style sheet to work right in IE 7, but it works fine in IE 8, Mozilla and Chrome. I haven’t tested it in Safari. So if you are…
