July Lightning Photos

We had a hell of a storm last night. As I was driving home from work at 10pm I saw the sky flashing but it was very far away so I couldn’t hear anything. As the night progressed the storm got closer and closer, and I made sure I had my camera out [...]

Cell Phone Tracking and Bugging

Tell your average hipster that they can use VZ Navigator on their phone to get directions to the coolest new club through a GPS chip in their phone, and they’ll probably think its pretty neat. Tell the same thing to your average healthily paranoid geek, and they’ll hopefully question how else it [...]

Michael Bay Facts

Awesome.
It seems a successor to the ubiquitous Chuck Norris Facts meme has arisen. The target? Action movie director Michael Bay.
In the wake of the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie a stream of Michael Bay Facts has been pouring out of twitter, and as with Chuck Norris Facts, most are hysterical.
Since Michael Bay Facts [...]

Beautiful day for a Hike

Amme and I went hiking today in Acadia, and what a day to go!

We chose to go up the Gorham Mountain trail. It’s listed as a moderate trail, but doesn’t require any climbing. It did get our hearts pumping though!

New Layout, New UrbEx Photos

Whatcha think?
Barring minor tweaks, My new layout is now done! Most all of it is a 3rd party theme, a first for me! But I chose to use it because I both learned a lot from modifying it, and because programmers always say don’t reinvent the wheel! I chose instead to modify [...]

Layout update in the works

I’m already sick of this desk layout. It was rarely done when I started ti, but now its soooooooo overdone. Also, it’s BW intensive and reminds me of the fact that I never update. Hopefully a change of scenery will fix that.
The current grey theme right now is just an intermediate. Something [...]

Why Facebook Steals Potential Tweeters

I had a brief little convo. with my bff John Nels (who’s an excellent musician: johnnels.sad-machine.com) about Twitter and facebook. Rather than summarize I’ll just paste it here:
Thomas: Its funny, people complain about twitter being pointless, but I have SO MANY people on facebook that update just as if it were twitter, all day [...]
