    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…

    I was walking The Embarcadero, camera in hand, when this guy walked by, lifted up his tennis racket to hide his face and said, “No more, paparazzi. No more pictures.” I smiled and said, “That’s a good one” and couldn’t help but continue with “Can I take your picture?” He told me he’d been living…

    I’m finally documenting this here because every time I do a hard reset on my phone, I forget what I need to do to tether my phone to my laptop and allow internet sharing. I actually don’t like my wireless carrier because it uses CDMA technology, which doesn’t allow me to use SIM cards when…

    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.

    Too bad I didn’t have a wide angle with me that day. And too bad I don’t have a tripod. Oh well. Saints Peter and Paul Church in San Francisco, located ironically at 666 Filbert Street.

    Since I sold my XT at the end of last year, I was forced to get some bigger memory cards. My brother joked that his phone had more memory than my camera. Sad, I know. And I started shooting in RAW this year, so hard drive space has become an issue. I’ve moved most of…

    I love this piece–not the image that I took, but the artwork that was pasted on this fence. No, I didn’t do any of that fancy selective coloring stuff to it. This image was left in full color. I love how the gloves (and mask) look almost 3D, but the image is entirely two dimensional.…

    It’s a particularly insidious problem for fast-growing start-ups [or small businesses]. When you’re really small and you’re just starting out, you don’t have that many people, so keeping everyone in the loop on everything doesn’t really take that much time. But as you get bigger, the number of people who might potentially get involved in…

    For anyone who knows me, shopping at fabric stores is NOT my thing. But I’m pretty easy-going so my crafty friend dragged me along to buy stuff for her latest project. First stop, Discount Fabrics on Irving. Surprising, but I actually found some black cloth from that leftover scrap bin (I think there’s a fancy…

    Youtube video from mobius32 explains, “This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the ‘Amen Break,’ a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hip hop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip…

    From Ian’s Messy Desk: Define the task and identify the outcome, not the process. The process that works for you may not work for others. Maybe you’ve been doing a job one way, because that’s how you were taught 20 years ago. When delegating, describe the successful outcome and let the person to find their…

    I’ve been to St. Louis twice now, and every time, it just feels so quiet to me. Ok, besides the 16,000+ college students who were at the conference with me or the occasional crowd coming out of a Blues game, there just wasn’t much going on downtown. Here’s a picture taken right before New Year’s…
