How did I not know my last birthday was Day of the Ninja 2007? Sheesh.

Good advice.

Instant Kitchen.

Beautiful and practical. This is fantastic.


Place it anywhere, all you need is to hook it up to a water supply and connect the electricity. The kitchen unit contains everything you need: oven, gas jets, electric power, refrigerator and water. To find a suitable name for it was easy: Instant Kitchen.

JT & Julie

If you were in the Bluegrass this weekend, then you know that Saturday was a glorious spring day in Kentucky, better than anything JT and Julie could have dreamed for their outdoor wedding. The strains of accoustic guitar music wafted through the air while thoroughbreds grazed on the otherside of the fence beyond and I couldn't imagine a more beautiful place to be! Many thanks to their photographer, good friend, Natalie Hagen (http://www.nataliehagen.com/), for letting me tag along and experiment with a new camera. This wedding was also special because I will be photographing Julie's sister's wedding in October! Meanwhile, congratulations, JT & Julie! Your wedding was beautiful!

Location: Fasig-Tipton

Bummer.

Eos Airlines files for bankruptcy and ceases operations.

With its spacious seating and high-end service, I'd really hoped to fly this airline in the future.

Once you start looking at these photos, all taken by different people at 10:15 am, it's hard to stop.

Take a photo that shows a random glimpse of your life at 10:15 am on any day, then send it along. Include your name and website link.

Rethinking a newspaper graphic.

A simple change, but so smart.


To commemorate World AIDS day on December 1st the South African newspaper Cape Argus used their page numbers on the top of every page of the newspaper to educate the public on statistics relating to the AIDS pandemic in South Africa. All the statistics were collected from UNICEF and the South African Department of Health.

Oh! that Illustration!

The mischievousness in the lines and shapes of Colby Nichols can always bring me surprises and smiles.

These days, I try to have a sense of childish humor...
Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
---- Jean Jacques Rousseau

Because pandas make me smile.

Happy weekend.

I wish I could read Russian to trace this link back and find out more about it.

Word of the day: Eggcorns.

“Mind-bottling,” “jar-dropping,” and “lame man’s terms” are all eggcorns—a type of common and somewhat logical language goof named after a misspelling of “acorn.” Eggcorns have garnered quite a following on the web, where they were first discussed on the popular linguistics blog Language Log in 2003. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, then you may have to check your own nest for eggcorns: When you really care about a cause, do you try to strum up support? Are you a perfectionist who hates to do things half-hazardly? Do complex moral issues fill you with a paralyzing cognitive dissidence? And finally, are you tired of paying exuberant prices?

Simple and, no doubt, effective.

Just for carnivores.

Sorry, veggie readers. I love and respect you, but this is meat-related. Please avert your eyes.

La Cense Beef is offering 8 burgers (3 lbs) of grass-fed, free-range, naturally low-fat burgers for the price of shipping & handling ($12.99).

While I've always been skeptical of ordering perishable protein over the interweb, I just placed an order - for $4/lb, it seemed reasonable. (At their normal $8+/lb, it is not.)

I'll let you know if it knocks my socks off.

(And, no, this is not a paid advertisement, in case you're wondering.)

Trevor and his parents

Trevor moved to Kentucky as a 5-month old. Now he's nearly four and about to leave Kentucky's green hills behind him. It was a privilege to capture these images of Trevor's sweet little family before they move next month. Thanks, guys!
