Misha and Curt in Action via D70

So, I took several pictures of both my pet parrot and my father-in-law in action via my D70 this weekend. I imported the pics into iMovie HD and animated them, adding minimal sound effects. Here is the end result: Misha & Curt (2.3MBs).
UPDATE: For some reason, the above QuickTime file doesn’t appear to [...]

C.K. Sample, III on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

This is a pretty cool new thing on TUAW: C.K. Sample, III on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW). They have new pages for all the individual bloggers. There’s also a linked page with all the comments I’ve made on the site. Nice for tracking things I’ve said in the past.

Make Good Fences

Man, I need another weekend.
Saturday morning, Kristin and I headed out to Long Island to spend the holiday weekend with her family. I was to help her father put in a new fence in their backyard. When we arrived on Saturday, the new fence hadn’t arrived yet, so we swung by East Coast Camera [...]

I’m a Blogebrity

Weird. I emailed Blogebrity: The List, asking when the D list would go up, and suddenly, BOOM, there I am, listed as a C-list blogebrity.
Can I start selling autographed pictures?
Also, I think blogebrity is misspelled. I, and everyone else, who reads it realizes that it is Blog + Celebrity = Blogebrity, so the [...]

Possibly the best headline ever…

Thanks to Bill for pointing this out: Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight.
Who the hell thought, “Hey! Let’s stick 42 little persons in a ring with a large feline! It’ll be great!”?

Boxing Day 2

Today was a rather hectic day at work with a big meeting, which unlike most meetings, was very productive, so I was pleased.
Tonight, I went for the second day of my boxing workout. Day 2 is always the worst, because everything is so freshly sore. I spent more time on warm up and [...]

Blogebrity: The List

Looking over Blogebrity: The List. Laurie is on the C list. They don’t seem to have the D list up yet, which I am guessing is where you’d find me and Scott (the rest of the TUAW crew).

Boxing

Today, after work, I went through my full boxing workout for the first time in over 5 years, and it feels good. I mean, I’m going to feel like hell tomorrow (already a bit sore behind my left shoulder blade), but it was a good stress-reliever.
I only managed about an hour long workout, which [...]

Dyson DC 07

So, I just went out to Best Buy this afternoon and bought a Dyson DC07. This thing sucks, but that’s a good thing. Kristin had vacuumed earlier today with our old vacuum cleaner, but I decided to give the Dyson a test run anyway. Pulled up about an eighth of its tank [...]

Me in Ulysses

Check it out: Ulysses: One Page Every Day:

It was then queried whether there were any special desires on the part of the defunct and the reply was: WE GREET YOU, FRIENDS OF EARTH, WHO ARE STILL IN THE BODY. MIND C. K. DOESN’T PILE IT ON. It was ascertained that the reference was to Mr [...]

Revenge of the Sith

Well, it was better than the other two new Star Wars films, but there were some definite dead spots in the film. Good action movie. Not so amazing film. The special effects were off the hook, as they say, the action scenes were pretty amazing with some really fabulous fight scenes, but the drama [...]
