On a recent visit to my parents in England I found my very first point-and-shoot, a gift from my Grandma for my 5th birthday. It was all crusted up with battery acid, but still had a film in. I of course had it processed and was surprised to find six photos from our 1990 family trip to Venice.
The photos are bleached out, burnt, or double-exposed, but seem rather apropos in this era of Instagram and the burgeoning cult of lo-fi.

It’s a bit late to do a 30-before-30, but I still like the idea of setting some resolutions for the coming year. So here goes:
· Survive March’s 5-day heli-skiing trip to Alaska. (80,000ft of vertical!)
· Do another half-marathon.
· Get a sub 2:20 time on the Olympic course at Wildflower (1.5km, 40km, 10km).
· Finish the Silicon Valley Long Course Triathlon (1-miles, 56-miles, 9-miles).
· Renew sky diving certs and do at least 15 jumps.
· Go on holiday somewhere warm… with beaches and scuba diving.

I just moved my site over to a new simplified model, getting rid of my crazy custom CMS system and moving the blog to wordpress. If you follow this in an RSS reader, sorry for spamming you with a bunch of old posts.

I’ve finally decided to start using a photo hosting service, instead of using my own site. I do prefer the idea of keeping all my photos here, but in recent months I haven’t been able to find the time to build the features I want, such as tagging, comments, geo-coding, and uploading software.
I looked at both Google’s own PicasaWeb and Flickr. While I prefer Picasa for browsing photos I really like the over all aesthetics of Flickr, and the organizational tools. So I went with the latter and have started with my photos from Christmas in England.
