Crash

crash Crash

The surprise Best Picture Oscar winner last year. And not a bad movie at that. I am by no means a movie critic, nor do I watch movies all that often for that matter. But this movie was super intense, maybe because racial issues really get me riled up. Is it because I am part of a minority group? Do white people think about this stuff as much as non-whites? Um, my white coworkers don’t count in this generalization question because that’s what we deal with…hehe. Color or no color, we all need Jesus. Ha. Sounds so preachy. Guess that’s where I learned to love because He first loved me. Amen?

Three thumbs up. Thanks for the loan, Raymond and KK.

Side note: also loved the soundtrack.

In addition to Tony’s list, I watched a documentary on portrait and fashion photographer Richard Avedon called Darkness and Light.

I haven’t posted much on this subject, mainly because I keep much of this to myself, even in person. The only other place I remember where I’ve mentioned anything was on my “100 things about me” page. But as my friends and I watched this movie this weekend, I was reminded how this movie has

Note (added Feb 1): I asked the lady if I can take a picture of her dog and she agreed. I was about to leave, but the next thing I know, a man (her husband?) wanted in the photo. I snapped another one, but it didn’t turn out that great. Related posts:Did you know that

I’ve used dreamhost to host this website for years, but for some reason, wordpress runs extremely slowly on it. But I found some code to compress your php so I’m giving it a try. Does my page load a faster? Seems so to me, but maybe it’s just psychological. First, place the following code in

The scenes in the original Star Wars (Episode IV) featuring Luke Skywalker’s home planet Tatooine were actually filmed in the Tunisian desert.

Tree Style Tabs

I’ve been using a new Firefox extension called Tree Style Tabs. It’s great for widescreens because it takes all your tabs from the top of your browser and places it along the right or left side, saving a lot of vertical screen space. It took a little time to get used to. Once in a
