More Photographic Love for Astoria
More love for my NYC stomping grounds, Astoria. When I first moved out here I honestly found it pretty visually uninspiring. But I’m starting to feel like I’m finally finding a photographic groove that fits pretty well with my new surroundings. Sure, it’s not Riverside Park, the Upper West Side, Columbia University, or Washington Heights, but I’m finding that Astoria’s got a charm all its own.
Joby Gorillapod Focus // Fail
I purchased a Joby Gorillapod Focus earlier today from B&H Photo in New York City. I walked around the corner to the James Farley Post Office and using the built-in 1/4″ screw I attached my Nikon D90 to the Gorillapod’s mounting platform and proceeded to wrap the Gorillapod’s legs around the railing on the post office’s steps. Then the unexpected happened [...]
Yet Another Theme Update v0.02 (and counting)
So once again it is just after 4am and I need to get my butt into bed. I really wish I could figure out how I manage so successfully to zone out, loose track of time, and focus so intently when I’m working on a computer. If I could figure that out, I would write [...]
New Website Theme v0.01
I stole some time away from my work schedule (time that I probably should have spent running errands, doing laundry, or sleeping) and did some more hacking on my WordPress theme. It is far from complete, but I’m stating to get a handle on how WordPress generates it’s pages and I finally managed to wrangle [...]

Work Superceeds Website Time
Well the site started off with a bang, but then work and my need to pay the bills quickly overtook my free time. I’m learning the mix on a new musical and it has proven to be more of a bear than I initially expected. And quite a bit of my free time is being [...]
HaHa! New Problem
Internet Explorer won’t load this site. It just sits endlessly “connecting” …
Oh well, at least Firefox, Google Chrome, & Apple Safari work.
Hacking Together a New Theme
I spent a good deal of time stripping down the default theme and now I’m in the process of rebuilding it. It’s frustrating to see that after all these years the various browser vendors still haven’t gotten things sorted out. So far the site renders correctly in FireFox and Internet Explorer, but is broken in [...]
Work in Progress
This is my personal site. It’s basically a testing ground for my new website ideas and a place for me to collect of all my random ramblings. In other words, if I can’t say it in 140 characters or less and I’m not ready for it to go live on a more important site it [...]
Flickr Image Test
Hmm, what are my options for embedding a Flickr image in my WordPress website?
So Far, So Good
I’m really starting to dig WordPress. And my hosting service, InMotion, seems to rock too. They appear to be very customer service oriented. For example, when I was researching web hosts I used the chat service on the various web host’s websites to ask a few questions before choosing one and the guy I chatted [...]
