more old mail

Here is another photo I took at the Old Post Office in Washington, D.C. Two neighborhood photo experts had good suggestions for improving the photo I posted last night with Alan. I didn't get around to finishing a before and after page, so I thought I'd show this photo instead. I was shooting through a window which created some glare in the upper-left. Maybe someone can explain how to get rid of that.

geeky photo gallery

I started using iView MediaPro to organize, enjoy and hopefully share(!) all the digital pictures I've taken. Long way to go to before I personalize it and create a consistent photo gallery template unique to iPaulo. But here is one of the built-in gallery in mediapro with a few pictures from the holidays. I like how it shows the metadata about camera settings.

comment spam

Argh! I switched to movable type a while ago, but comment spam is such a pain. While removing 11 new cans of comment spam, I accidentally erased a comment from evolved skeptic about the image I posted! Funny, I was coming to post about how I might be switching back to blogger. I think this might seal the deal. I hate spam.

computers and tequila

"A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention in human history, with the possible exception of handguns and tequila."

Cloudy Day

Alrighty then.. I took this picture of the clouds one night after work at our apartment. The sunset was giving the clouds some nice color. I thought the composition would turn out better; I should have removed everything but the roof lines and the palm trees in photoshop but it's late and I'm working from bed.

Team America

I'm sure this movie could have been more offensive but the mpaa must have toned it down. What was left was funny and only mildly offensive. (sarcasm flag)

ladder 49

My gawd am I behind on movies. Righto. I'm going to try to catch up. This won't be pretty but at least I won't feel like a loser.

delicious library

Before my great book give away, I had a huge collection of books. Something I always wanted was a list of what books I owned. Thanks to Don at work and delicious-monster.com, I can create a really cool library quickly.
