Went to the Rossini Festival this week. The Rossini is a great big Italian Street fair with food, wine, music, art. We usually see a lot of our friends, eat some nice food and have a great time. It does amuse me, though, that this Italian fair also has Revolutionary war reenactors and belly dancers…

Happy Earth Day Everybody
Today is Earth Day! You can tell because Google has a different logo!! My school is hosting the local Earth Fest this weekend and it should be nice (please, no rain!). But, my Techy-Feely thoughts are turning to some neat sites I have seen that showcase our world via mashups and APIs. First Up: Flickrvision…
Say Hello to the POW!!!
It is unanimous….we ALL miss P365. But, fundamentally, I am lazy. So, I just don’t think I am up to the picture a day duty right now. My compromise…a picture a week from what I take. That actually might be harder! Welcome to POW (the Picture Of the Week) Yeah…I know it should be the…
What are you doing on May 3?
Perhaps not reading T-F? It is Shutdown Day – shut off your computer for 24 hours. Can I do it?Can you do it?Why do it? Well, I can probably think of some good reasons. Consider it…I am. Shutdown Day Thanks to my pal Mary N. for the tip!
Eating Coast to Coast
So, as we sat and ate a lazy Sunday breakfast today of whole wheat waffles with maple syrup from Maine and macadamia nuts from Hawaii (oh yes, I was trying to channel the wonderful breakfast from the ride down Haleakala about 9 years ago). Then, I started riffing on how we were eating from coast…
Revisting Stonehenge
Way back in 1988, I went to England and Ireland. The entire trip was memorable but two of the sites I visited stood out above the rest: The Canterbury Cathedral and Stonehenge I had the exact same feeling when I was in both places…these were special sites that needed to be kept special. Even though…
CSI: Code Search Investigations – Getting your videos out of Videoegg
Just a quick notation about my sleuthing and its eventual success (Yay!) I got a notification that the Videoegg hosting server (my.videoegg.com) is being decomissioned at the end of May. The note suggested that I go get my content so off I went. Problem: The download video link did not work – tried it on…
Checking in with the @Last 5 Playlist….
Here is the latest: Something I have noticed about my use of iTunes now…with the iPod touch, I am much more concerned about making sure I have the Album artwork loaded and I am spending time scouring the web looking for album covers that I don’t have in iTunes. Flipping through Coverflow (the album art…
KD Lawson Photography Studio
We dedicated the Photography studio at school to the instructor who died last semester. He was instrumental, no…critical…..no…..essential to the creation of this place and the building where it lives.The ceremony was nice and the studio is fantastic. I can only hope that folks will say the kinds of things about me that they say…
P365 – back to the “good old days”
At least two of my three readers have told me that they miss the Project 365 daily picture posting. I do, too! And, I don’t take nearly as many pictures as I used to. (that could be a good thing, I’ll have to ask iPhoto!) But, I think this type of “wireless pet containment” is…
