Mike has come a long way since I gave him his first digital camera soon after Connor was born on May 1, 2005.
Here is an example of some of his experiments with HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. I find them both artistic and pleasing, worthy to me of being made into a [...]

Just sharing Gina Trapani’s excellent video illustrating Google Wave. Thanks, Gina.

Looking out my office window, I can’t help drifting off into the memory that Carole and I were married on August 25, 1962, a mere 47 years ago today, at the Decatur (GA) First Christian Church.

Though I miss her already, I’m glad she has gone through that necessary door and is now past the pain. For those of you who didn’t have the privilege and joy of knowing her personally or of seeing her very [...]
Flock's news reader, originally uploaded by CaptQuirk.
This screenshot illustrates Flock's new implementation of its RSS news reader, called "My Newspaper." The icon to call up the sidebar is designated by the red arrow pointing to the iconbar. In the list of RSS feeds, the bold font indicates unread items on that particular feed.
The photo is [...]
I have changed the theme so that I can test whether doing so will permit me to post pictures here. So again, I’ll see if I can get the photo of “My Newspaper” from my Flickr site to post.
technorati tags: Flock, test
