Iranian president Mr. Ahmadinejad was quoted in today’s news as saying: ”The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship.” This wonderfully oblique statement is in reference to the unveiling of Iran’s first “domestically built, unmanned bomber aircraft”. I get the “ambassador [...]
It’s already August – I remember last year reading the news and wondering if I should try to stay up late and see if I could catch a meteor or two – I ended up choosing sleep. I’m going to give a shot this year instead, particularly since there should still be some meteors [...]
I’ve just spent nearly 3 hours fiddling with my site… with nothing to show for it. After the fun I had playing with Photoshop yesterday, I wanted to see if there was another plugin that would display image galleries a little more nicely. I rather like the Simpleviewer plugin and thought I’d give it a [...]
I know it’s been over a month since my last post, but things have (as usual) just been so busy. Today’s the first day in a while that I’ve been able to stay home on a Saturday! I’m resizing some images of a recent trip I took to visit family, but I also stumbled across [...]

Here’s a better image of my “finisher’s” medal for completing the Tokyo Marathon. I actually recovered very quickly – within 2 days I stopped feeling muscle pain aside from in my right knee. At the moment, I’m planning on just doing small, short runs to try and get my knee back to full strength. I [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you’ve enjoyed the holiday season and are ready and rarin to get back to work! No? I don’t blame you… I’m not quite out of “holiday mode” myself either… I thought I put up my own small goals for 2010 (how are you going say that – “two thousand ten”? [...]
Well, it’s rapidly approaching the end of 2009 and boy has this year gone by fast.
