A wild, orange sky

Friday evening after a rainy week brought this unusual sky. I wish my favorite photo subject had been around to take advantage of the dreamy, golden light.


Pretty blue sky

My old Canon Powershot G1, that I’ve had almost six years now, has always taken amazing pictures of blue skies. It’s now relegated to hazardous duty such as cycling or kayaking, but may get replaced for that because its response time is so slow and its screen seems to be getting weak.


Tubing season opens; no vendor change

Memorial Day weekend, around here, marks the opening of the tubing season at Ichetucknee Springs State Park. I was pleased to read in the paper Friday that a plan to change the tube rental arrangement from the status quo (”the way it’s always been done,” to quote many Episcopalians) to a single-vendor “inside the [...]


My favorite podcasts

One of the main reasons I bought my iPod last year was to use it as a portable hard drive to backup my photos from my laptop during my trip to Britain last year. Another reason was to consolidate the CDs in the car. I wasn’t buying the whole podcast thing, not quite.
A year later, [...]


A random observation

In the past year I have run into more people in Gainesville with ties to Vero Beach or Indian River County than I believe I did in the previous 17.
It’s not that random an observation though. It was prompted by it happening again last night.


More on TV

Someone* IM’d: “I didn’t know you watched business shows; you’re so well-rounded :)”
The comment above was made in response to a comment I made about a fund I have in my retirement portfolio being picked as a good fund to have this year on one of my favorite TV shows, Cashin’ In on the Fox [...]


Christmas Update 2006

Finally completed on Saturday evening, Feb. 17.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
I suppose the year in review actually starts this week last year, after I had already mailed last year’s cards and update. I thought I’d spend go spend a few days in Key Largo. The weather was not real cooperative. It’s actually been warmer [...]


What I’ve been watching on TV this Fall

I thought I’d break out my old entertainment writer cap and write a little commentary on what TV shows I’ve been watching this Fall. I’ve enjoyed it so far. So here goes:
Sunday
Brothers & Sisters (ABC, 10 p.m.)
I ought to hate this show because it has so many actors that I haven’t liked through the years [...]


Casino Royale

I’m excited about Casino Royale opening at the movies today. I don’t think I’ll see it this weekend, but hope to see it by the end of next weekend.
I read the book last weekend. I happened upon a copy of it at the “store closing” sale at the bookstore at the outlet mall last week. [...]


But I’m not Korean

For some reason, I found this direct-mail piece humorous enough to blog about. This is not the first time I’ve been assumed to be Korean based on having a surname that’s very common in that culture. This may be the first time though from a company that I’m actually a customer of. I’ve received mail [...]
