Street Art Du Jour + APW
First of all, check out this great pink haired lady from PatriX on Flickr. It is from her Berlin set. So I assume that it is somewhere in Berlin. I have no idea who the artist is. Anyway, I really like it. Second: Tomorrow is All Points West. Reagan and I are pretty pumped about…

La Musica Coolica #36 (Grouch)
The Grouch. This guy is frequently collaborating with Murs, Eligh, Zion I etc.. He has a good organic Hip-hop flow. Grouch doesn’t really have a traditional Hip hop dialect. He pronounces the letter “R” in his lyrics, for example. Grouch tends to get a bit political sometimes, with the lyrics. Some of his stuff, I…

Donington Park 2009
I have been doing pretty well about fighting the urge to write about motorcycle racing lately. But today, I couldn’t resist. The British Grand Prix in Donington Park, Sunday was one for the books. The race was wet, but not super wet. It was just rainy enough to keep a steady flow of crashes going,…

Piper and Hammocking
Reagan and I decided to continue with the picnic theme today. After hanging out with Piper this morning, we packed lunches and the hammock, then headed down to the park. We were there long enough to catch some rays, before it clouded up. We made it home just before it started pouring. Click on any…

Friday Night at the races
Friday night, I was in Central Park shooting this race, when I passed by the croquet garden near Sheep’s Meadow. There was this dude out there playing all by himself. Just practicing his shot, I guess. Anyway, I stopped and talked to him for a while (after sneaking a few shots of him). It turns…

If even the geeks think its tacky, you know its bad
There was a great section in this month’s issue of Wired, called “How to Behave: New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans.” The article discusses all types of tech related etiquette, like texting during parties, leaving your handheld on the bar, etc.. But, my favorite is the one about the bluetooth headsets. Thank you thank you…

Build your own camera
Building plastic models of airplanes and cars was one of my favorite hobbies as a young lad. I’m sure that it was for a lot of kids. I was especially stoked, if the model had some sort of functionality. Like if the propeller could turn, on the plane I was building. Or, in the case…
