Last Sunday while Clodagh was off doing well at a pool tournament (funny how pool tournament stories involving Clodagh have "doing well" in them and the ones about me don't, eh?), I was occupied with using the new smoker to make pulled pork...

I haven't decided if I'm going to slack on this until next year and do a batch retrospective again, keep it closer to real-time (around the end of the month that's ending), or stop doing this :), but in the meanwhile, I'm trying to finish...

Looking at my pictures from June, it seems like they were mostly 'people centric' photo opportunities - a visit to the beach with family, wedding, etc. Since I'm mostly skipping "people" photos with this series of posts :), I'll...

I'm back from visiting Oklahoma for Christmas, and so I continue on the survey of my favorite shots from the year. At the end of April and through the beginning of May, we were at the APA Nationals singles tournament. Clodagh qualified through local...

So far it's been a bit tough to pick out my favorite shots from the previous months - either because I just didn't take any, like in Feb, or nothing I took really struck me, like in Jan and March. April presented the opposite challenge so I've...

Resuming the quasi-random cadence of looking back across pictures from the year... It turns out that while I have pictures from Feb, I'm pretty sure that I didn't take any of them. So we'll just skip that month :). March also looks like a...

I was looking back through pictures taken during 2009 and am posting a bit of a retrospective. This is my favorite picture from January and conveniently is a picture that I previously posted about back in January, though the links are now broken on that...

One of the great things about the Seattle / King County area is the number of local parks. This weekend we visited two cool parks. St. Edwards State Park , which it turns out is open for more than just the annual MicroBrew festival, and Juanita Bay park...

Administrivia post - I've removed most of the photos stored on the site. Lately we've started using another site to store photos and slowly but surely I'll move some photos there. Photos linked / embedded in some older posts are going to be...

I've started reading (is that right term for what's basically a picture-a-day with no real text?) a few more photo blogs lately and so am feeling a bit inspired to post a random photo today... It's not great artistically or technically, but...

A very delayed posting since we’ve been back for a few weeks and facebook saw them long ago, but photos from our trip to Sydney have been posted here . It’s pretty much the fastest that I’ve posted pictures after a trip as far as I can remember...

Because of our impending trip, our friend Prasadi asked someone what it would take to convince us to stay. The response she got was that “the first 48 hours were critical”. So has she been successful? We’re here now just under 48 hours, and here are my...

The heat wave is back and is the topic of discussion here in the Seattle area. I wasn't going to post about it but then I realized that I skipped writing about last year's heat wave and 2007 was my last go at the topic :). So, what's my take...

A few weeks ago we took a jaunt down to Florida for some family time at the beach. If you've seen my family at the beach you know that means a decent amount of time reading books. Add on the flights to and from Florida and that means a lot tack on...

In a lot of ways Microsoft is a great place to work, but one of the weirdest things about the culture is how people use language. There's the nounification of verbs, the verbification of nouns and the wordification of acronyms. Oh acronyms, how we...
