This is where the magic happens
It’s a little cramped, but I managed to find the MacBook a spot on my desk where I can still run all the necessary cables to it. The ThinkPad hasn’t gotten too jealous of the MacBook yet, but it’s ready … Continue reading
Incredible sunset from yesterday
I got lucky and managed to capture this shot with Rachel’s camera yesterday just as I was getting out of my car. It was only visible for about 60 seconds, and then the view changed as the sun went down … Continue reading

Help me name the beast
No, I’m not talking about that. Get your minds out of the gutter. Jeez! I’m talking about the motorcycle, obviously. My dad and I were doing some routine maintenance last weekend (thanks again, Dad), and it dawned on me that … Continue reading
