    On may 19th is the American Heart Association/NYRR Wall Street 5k. Come run it with us! Here is the NYRR Race Page. If you don’t feel like running it, but would still like to participate, there is also a walking section. If you will be working late that night, but would still like to donate…

    Of course I had to mess around a bit with the new toy, as soon as I left work today. I’m still learning all of the functions, etc. The last SLR that I had was a hand-me-down from my dad. Everything was analog and I had to duct tape the film door, or else it…

    The other day riding home from work, I was standing in front of this guy. It was one of those things where, I couldn’t help myself from staring. The man was chewing gum in a way that I had never seen it done before. I was able to sneak some incognito footage of it, while…

    Friday evening, for the first time in my life, I was really scared in an elevator. To give a little background, I work on the 36th floor. My elevator bank serves the 27th floor, to the 39th floor. If there are no stops in between, it takes less than 1 minute for me to get…

    I know that I have complained about this before, but dude, it never ceases to blow my mind/annoy the ever-living crap out of me. It is bad enough trying to maneuver the sidewalks in the rain when everyone is wielding their umbrellas like weapons, so why continue to have them open while walking on covered…

    True to the adage, April arrived with showers. I set my alarm with enough time to go for a run, this morning before work. But when I got up and saw what it looked like outside, I quickly lost all motivation to do anything but get some more sleep. As it turns out, I ended…

  • Some photos from the weekend

    I guess that I’m using the term “weekend” loosely, here. These shots were all taken on my way from my office to the train on Friday evening. I suppose that being able to take some pics on the way out on Friday  is one of the perks of having daylight until almost 6:30 these days.

  • And then it was March, and then it snowed

    When I saw what I was up against today, I decided to work from home. It gave me a chance to go help shovel the sidewalks at our church (first time, for me), which was nice. It was also good to unload the foot and 1/2 of snow from the car, before it turned into…

    I’m actually not really sure that these count as art. So, the title may be a little misleading. I have been doing a lot of work on the side, with my whole web development hobby and it reminded me of when I used to spend hours in the old Abobe Flash program making nerdy little…
