sideways

Right. Since I’m playing catch up on movies, I’m being kind of sloppy. There are going to be a lot of full ipaulo ratings. Don’t let that fool you, this movie was excellent. I’m drinking more red wine since watching this movie, which is good for my heart. That was going to be the first line in a sort of blogging montage about things I’ve started doing because of sideways, but I’ve forgotten the others. And I still have 5 other movies to blog before I’m caught up. Gotta go!! So please go create your own google montage about wine.

Ignorance is bliss! NOT!! If I had known how gut wrenching this movie was going to be, I’m not sure I would have gone. It was an amazing movie, but it did feel like it took part of your soul.

national treasure

ooops. While using MarsEdit to catch up on movies in my blog, I erased my original national treasure post. Well, it went something like “It was your typical wannabe indiana jones movie but it show us Diane Kruger who really is a national treasure of germany.”

Testing out MarsEdit

Awesome. At UCLA, there is a guy who for years has been posting about the Mac. I just love the stuff he comes up with. Case in point…

For those maintaining blogs here's a nifty editor...

Such a simple post. Short and to the point. And it turns out the program is amazingly handy. Since moving to Movable Type, I’ve been a little unimpressed with its editor. Now, Jose at UCLA has solved that problem. Thanks Jose!

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.
