SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

actually, it was saturday, but you know what we're getting at... MOTO X! shane hooked us up with some tickets to witness the spectacle at at&t park so i'll hook up the weblog with some media for your viewing pleasure.

flickr!



vimeo!



btw, vimeo is friggin awesome if you have HD video you want to share... (hint: if the video on the site is choppy, hover your mouse over it and click the "HD on" button to turn HD off.)

renaissance

delightful clip about lego on the BBC:

listen here and/or subscribe in itunes.

judging by the recent surge in lego sets at my house and my plans to buy all the pieces to build the custom set pictured below, i have an inkling i might be coming out of my own lego "dark ages."

I don’t think this is a new shot…. could we just stamp the stamp directly on the page?

well, if you're volunteering to stamp 2 million catalogs, then we sure can! ;)

sunset

pollution always makes for the best sunsets...

sir ed

mr. kelleher had a hand in that.

feelings

i love flickr and now i love the library of congress. more.

"Out of some 14 million prints, photographs and other visual materials at the Library of Congress, more than 3,000 photos from two of our most popular collections are being made available on our new Flickr page, to include only images for which no copyright restrictions are known to exist."

workin' late

that's right, stuck in the ol' cubicle well past quittin' time, yee haw. waiting for someone else to finish something before you can finish something certainly puts the "this sucks" in "teamwork."

the annual stevenote was today and i certainly was impressed by the MacBook Air and am enjoying the updated iPhone software, but i think i am most intrigued by Time Capsule. that is an absolutely fantastic way to get some backup and a little home server at a reasonable price. we'll know shortly if one of these is in my future...

and remember: a picture of a hot chick will always get twice as many views as any of your other photos on flickr.

i need new pants

because the ones i'm wearing have some holes now. remember kids, rain and streetcar tracks are NOT your friend whilst riding a bicycle:



it looks a lot worse than it feels. fortunately, they keep the first aid boxes well-stocked here in the office. nobody tell steph, ok? oh, wait...

for he's a jolly good fellow

here's to mr. kelleher, thanks for the flickr pro account and here's to unlimited uploads!

party people in the place to be

what up? chillin' in sunny san diego california, relaxing after an extraordinarily busy december. that whole press check the day after christmas thing was a real hoot, but the downtime in SD is starting to cover over the pain.

got a new camera, the Kodak V1253. so far, i LOVEITTODEATH. it takes great pictures, has all the modes and controls i want and it shoots HD video at 720p, can't wait to see how that looks on my TV. my photographer friend brad said it has a really good lens, "they make really good glass," specifically. i can personally attest to its excellent macro mode:



george had a new year's eve party at jon's house that we attended, good times were had by all. it actually was a pretty incredible vibe, super fun, super friendly. i have a bunch of shots from the night, possibly PG-13ish due to consumption of alcohol and two guys looking like they're going to touch tongues... enjoy!
