I’ve developed a nice little workflow over on the photoblog; My entire editing process happens in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space, and the final JPEG that goes online has the correspondng ICC profile embedded within. Recently, I realized that none of the thumbnail images had color profiles; the result was a small difference, but one …

A day in Baltimore
I had a doctor’s appointment thursday; nothing serious just an initial check-in with my new permanent physician. Normally, I’m not a big fan of going to the doctor, but the new docs are just two blocks from Baltimore’s Lexington Market. Lexington Market is a cornucopia of food stalls – most selling prepared food, but many …
Windows compatibility in Mac OS X
While, I usually find myself agreeing with Robert X. Cringely (aka. Mark Stephens) more often than not, his current article get so much wrong that I begin to even wonder if he’s got a clue or not. First, the idea that Apple should switch from a microkernel to a monolithic kernel for the performance increase …
Perplex City
Alternate reality game, $200,000 prize, puzzle maven’s delight, and currently sucking up my life. Check out Perplex City, and my in-game profile.
Love Monkey
So, I missed Love Monkey‘s short 3-show stint on CBS. The show, starring former Ed leading man Tom Cavanagh, seemed to be part of the huge, mid-season roll-out that led to several shows being cancelled after only a couple (or fewer) episodes. Based on a novel of the same title, I think the show suffered …
Windows fans catching up with reality?
Well, it’s finally starting to happen; even the usually unflappable windows fan press is starting to catch on to the fact that Microsoft has gutted Windows Vista (something I blogged about over 6 months ago). Paul Thurrott goes over recent builds of Vista and analyzes the remaining features; the conclusions he comes to don’t make …
Sharing my life
For a long time I’ve been looking for someone to share my life with, and in some ways waiting to live life with someone. I don’t know if it’s the fear of being alone, or the need to share experiences with someone else, or just a sense of loneliness, but I’ve been waiting for someone …
Blog upgrade
I just upgraded the software that runs this blog to a newer version. If you find any glitches or bugs, please leave me a comment (or e-mail me directly), and I’ll see if I can work it out. Thanks!
Letting go of control in my life…
I am a lucky man. I know this, and others sometimes remark on it. I am blessed by a life that runs itself, and runs itself well. But I have always railed against my life saying, “It runs best without my intervention.” I despaired over my attempts to control my own life that led to …
Sergeant’s Program
I signed up for the Sergeant’s Program (again). I had been a member six years ago, while I was working at AOL. While looking into them for my buddy Scott, I discovered that they’ve got locations much closer to my house these days, so I took the liberty of joining back up. Been at it …
