I have discovered Adobe’s Lightroom

I have discovered Adobe’s Lightroom

I have discovered Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and I think I may be in love. Is that healthy? While processing our Cape Cod pictures taken on our new Canon G9 I decided to give Lightroom a spin… and it’s having two diametric effects on me. I am gigglingly delighted with the results… both [...]

Celtics vs. Lakers - An NBA Finals Treat

Celtics vs. Lakers - An NBA Finals Treat

The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will play each other for the NBA championship for the first time in 21 years. This is a classic rivalry that has been credited with reviving a slumping NBA in the 1980’s and propelling it (with the later help of Michael Jordan) into the marketing monster and [...]

So Much For The Laws of Physics

So Much For The Laws of Physics

While returning from Cape Cod this past Memorial Day weekend we stopped at the Prime Outlets in Lee, Massachusetts. When I happened across a store directory I was a bit stunned… for as you can see in the attached picture the laws of physics cease to exist at these outlets!? While viewing the [...]

Brian Regan - “I Walked On the Moon”

I laughed so hard! This is so true… I think everyone knows somebody like the “Me Monster”. There was a kid back in high school who would respond to anyone’s story with “That’s nothin’…”, and then go on with some terribly fictitious tale.

This comedian, Brian Regan, is hilarious… original and [...]

Gravatars - Get Some!

I get a lot of questions asking me, “How do I get a picture avatar next to my comments like you and other people have?” …or saying, “I checked your blog everywhere for a place to upload my picture but couldn’t find one anywhere.” The answer is Gravatar.com.
My site supports what are called gravatars, [...]

Portable Apps On Vacation

Portable Apps On Vacation

As thoughts of Memorial Day weekend vacation fills my mind… I think to the inevitable getaway taboo that occurs without fail - I will get online somewhere. When I do, I like to carry my trusty thumbdrive packed with goodies from PortableApps.com. That site is a treasure trove of single folder (and often, [...]

Cancer Survivor Gets First No-Hitter This Season

Cancer Survivor Gets First No-Hitter This Season

Jon Lester, a 24-year-old lefty playing for my boys (the Red Sox) just pitched the first no-hitter of the 2008 Major League season tonight against the Kansas City Royals (who last gave up a no-hitter to Nolan Ryan). Lester had survived cancer to pitch the World Series clincher for Boston last fall. I’ve [...]
