Through the site NowPublic, I have now had 5 of my photos published online in two articles: Aston Martin era ends at Newport Pagnell Ex-Con Fired Over Conviction; Administrators Remain NowPublic is an interesting community journalism site.

The Home Theatre
I have been asked by several friends now what I have put into my home theatre setup and why, so I figured I would answer definitively: Television: Sony KDS-60A2000 60″ SXRD television – the Liquid-Crystal-on-Silicon (LCOS) style televisions work well with my lighting environment (as opposed to front projection).

Sometimes you are presented with a prime photographic opportunity. Last weekend was one such occasion. I managed to get the sun just as it was going down in West Seattle – from a moving car no less. This really reinforces the lesson of do not leave home without the camera!…

Inscribed on Frank Sinatra’s tombstone and the subject of his famous 1964 song of the same name, I think it is appropriate moniker of the next few months for Commerce Server. Or perhaps I just have Vegas on the brain from having just seen Ocean’s 13. I personally am nearing…
