Welcome

Here you will find a compendium of stuff, nonsense, assorted ramblings and other trivia, possibly sprinkled here and there with a seasoning of useful information, and maybe even a little truth.

It contains text and photographs about our many trips through the U.S. and Europe, along with stuff about my other interests, namely computers, software, and photography, and anything else my warped mind decides to write about.

A Little Tribute to the Big Apple - June 2010

Since I haven't updated this website (blog, conglomeration, mess of stuff, whatever you want to call it) in a while, I have decided to add some pictures that aren't new, but comprise a small set of my pictures of New York City. I have quite a few, since we live about 50 miles north of Manhattan and visit there quite often. Here's a small subset. A Little Tribute to the Big Apple

Kung Hei Fat Choi - February 2009

Yesterday morning (Feb 1, 2009) my wife and I, on a whim, decided to go to chinatown in Manhattan, something we do fairly often. This time we went to see the Chinese New Year parade, which I have never been to, and my wife had last seen over 30 years ago. We had lots of fun (and a very good chinese lunch) and I think I got some pretty good pictures.
