Some of my favorite shots from Boston from the last few years. Just throwing these up as I think about the cowards who messed with the wrong town. Click an image for full size, then use the arrows on the bottom right corner to scroll through.

If you’ve seen the new marriage equality symbols popping up all over Facebook in place of profile photos, you’re probably aware of how marriage equality arguments are shaping up in the United States these days. I know that for some people, gay rights amounts to a question of morality, and can’t or won’t support the [...]

Birds in Flight

We had some pretty decent late snow storms this winter, and on one of the days, I tried my hand at catching the birds as they flew too and from the bird feeder. I was not as successful as I would have liked! Here are two that weren’tĀ all togetherĀ bad.

This is not a post about the world’s most valuable company. Don’t get me wrong, as an early adopter of the iPhone 5, I could go on a rant or two. Maps, battery life, destroyed podcast functionality, lightning port, cost of lightning port adapters, unavailability of lightning port adapters, design of lightning port adapters (take [...]
