Valentines Day is coming up

Make your reservations now.

experiments in IR

I’ve started experimenting with digital infrared photography. I’ve always appreciated the art that goes into good quality photographs. As with most professions, the really good photographers make it look simple. The superficial simplicity hides the skill that goes into making the photos look as good as they do.
I’ve also always loved the black and white [...]

enlightening elastomeric experiences

I didn’t even know tripod sites were still around. I first found this site back around 2000 or so, then lost track of it. It was actually on a different host back then, but it was one of those sites that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. One of those things that just makes you [...]

buddha guy’s secret

Little buddha guy is our traveling mascot. He always manages to find his way into our luggage whenever we travel anywhere. He’s been to Europe a couple of times, and all over the U.S. I always wondered why he was always so happy looking, till I caught him unawares recently and found out his secret. [...]

Exotic dancers’ ’stigma’ too much for charity

Warning, sarcasm alert. It’s nice to see that the Breast Cancer Society of Canada is so flush with cash that they can afford to be morally self-righteous about where they get their donations from.

Personally, I thought he came off sounding a bit [...]

anything is possible…

… at Zombo com. It’s enticing, the background music, colorful logo and flashing lights. The voice, seductive and sounding almost like a cross between a sideshow carny and a rastafarian welcomes you, assuring you that “Anything is possible at Zombo com. You can do anything at Zombo com. Anything at all. The only limit is [...]

geez louise

I think this is the coldest weather I’ve encountered since moving to Indianapolis about 7 years ago. On one level I enjoy it, if there’s no wind. There’s something invigorating about stepping outside and having the cold air slice through your sinuses like a scalpel, reminding you what it’s like to be alive. When I [...]
