Nomah!
Still doing the glove-fiddling thing
The Dodger jumbotron
I realise that we're in LA, but it has to be said: The production values of the videos and animations on the Dodger Stadium jumbotron were miles ahead of anything I've seen elsewhere. I love the almost Disney-esque typography of this shot.
Dodger Stadium
The view from section 60 of the "Lower Reserve" at Dodger Stadium. The tickets for both Joy and myself were cheaper than one of our regular seats at Fenway, *and* we were able to buy them the night before the game.
VMware Fusion Overview
If you don’t already own Parallels Desktop, the new VMWare beta is great — I far prefer “Unity” to “Coherence” for mixing Windows apps on the OS X desktop. Only $40 if you buy before the official release at the end of August.

Advice for presentations: It happens!
Good tips for presenting at conferences.
Second Life in Real Life
If the world was the same as Second Life. Also, people would be walking round with cups of coffee stuck to their stomachs.
Underwater Hippo
These Animals BITE!
Pink Flamingo
Underwater Polar Bear
Polar Splash
Lazy Polar Bear
Peacock Going Shopping
Clearly it considers its current duds a tad dull and lacking in pizazz.
Malayian Tapir
Joy and I "adopted" a Tapir at the zoo last year.
Elephant
Eating Giraffe

Joy enjoying a cola at Carl’s Jr.
As part of our tour of California, we've been attempting to sample the fast food at the chains that are only found on the west-coast.
The Six Dollar Burger at Carl's Jr, the Double-Double Animal Style at In-N-Out and a Jumpin' Jack at Jack in the Box have all been devoured. Plus shakes and/or malts at each -- The Carl's Jr. Caramel Malt is my favourite so far.
The weight-loss starts when we get back home.
Me and Penn
After the show at the Rio.

Words that should never be placed together.
Lion Hat
Super-classy!

Wind Farm
I get very excited when I see wind-farms in action. Energy being captured from a totally renewable source? Genius! I hope Cape Wind gets going soon.
Us at General Sherman
The largest tree in the world (note: no longer considered the largest living thing in the world -- a field of fungus is)
Me between two big-ass trees
The giant forest at Sequoia National Park
