I’m currently reading Slippage, a collection of stories by kick-ass author Harlan Ellison. I’ve noticed a trend in his writing, in that much of it starts off like an essay, and then moves slowly into the story itself. It’s an interesting approach, and a nice way of [...]

So, I’ve upgraded WordPress and updated the theme on the site. It’s still a canned theme, as I’ve not gotten the time nor had the inclination to cough one up from scratch. I just got tired of the endless iterations of the K2 Theme. Maybe if they ever finish it, I’ll be more inclined to [...]

Okay, so I didn’t want to say anything, because I didn’t want anyone to know, but I broke the photo gallery on the site. Apparently, when you upgrade the plugin, you also deactivate the plugin. Go figure. Anyways, the photo gallery is back up and working.

Here’s a route that Daniele and I have used a few times for exercise. It’s a really pretty ride, down along the bosque. As long as you travel when it’s not too hot, you’ll have a really nice ride.

You can see our route [...]

Last Sunday, to celebrate eleven years of being together, Daniele and I took the tram up to Sandia Crest. The crest was covered in clouds, and it was nice and cool up there. As was to be expected, we had our cameras in hand, and we took some pretty spectacular photographs. Feel free to check [...]

Yesterday, Daniele and I took a day trip, sans children, up to the Valles Caldera national preserve (via Los Alamos), and then back home through the Jemez Mountains. We had a great time, and took lots of photographs to remind us of the trip.
We had such a good time, we’ve decided that we’re going to [...]

The more I use 30 Boxes, the more I like it. Sure, it’s a remarkably stable calendar, and that’s worth the price of admission alone, but it’s much more than that. For example, it’s pretty easy to syndicate content from my calendar to any website.
For instance, you can go here to see a complete schedule [...]
