Here’s a pretty cool little update. Recently, two of my photographs were chosen for use on Schmap, an online travel guide using the Yahoo Maps API to highlight cool sites to see, places to eat and sleep, and much more. It seems that they use quite a few photos for each locale, so it may or may not be such an honor, but I choose to see as one!

Last night we watched Endeavour’s launch from our apartment. I have to say it was pretty freakin’ sweet. This is the second I have witnessed at night. The first was so long ago, I barely remember what it felt like. It was amazing how well we could see it (well, it looked like a giant flame) from more than 40 miles away. Daytime launches haven’t got a thing on the night! Unfortunately, if I heard correctly, this was likely to be the last nighttime launch before the end of the shuttle program in 2010.
I posted some photos on Flickr. Although, the photos did not turn out ideally, (what do you expect from an amateur at night?) you can still get some idea how incredible it was.

With all of the nonsense out there that we come across day in and day out, why is it such big news that Barack Obama is getting a dog for his family. Certainly, mention it once. Maybe talk about it briefly when it materializes. I get it dogs are cute. But is it really something to spend more than a week discussing? Is there nothing more substantial to take up headline space on MSN.com?
Of course, I am just one guy who is probably just jealous that his guinea pigs did not make it to the international news spotlight. But I am working on it.
On the bright side, talk of the Obama’s future pet has pushed some of the “Dancing with the Stars” headlines out of the spotlight. Whew!
*Disclaimer: Don’t let the sign fool you, I am an Obama-ite.

I utilize A List Apart frequently to learn and grow as a web developer. It is an incredible tool that I hope, one day, to contribute to. For now, I’ve shown my support through their 2008 survey. Maybe you should, too.

Eating yogurt with a fork is not as easy as one would hope. Especially towards the bottom of those little cups.
