NOW They Tell Me!

But if you haven’t left for your destination by the time you read this, you’ll probably end up in some kind of backup. WSDOT says traffic builds after Thursday morning and may not clear out until Tuesday.

TARDIS at MIT

Doctor Who apparently made a visit via his time machine/police call box to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Entering freshman paused in their moving procedures this morning to see a blue TARDIS atop a building in Kendall Square. A close up showing the sign on the time machine can be seen at the Boston Globe.

Two of my Favorite Taste in One!

Sir Francis Bacon Peanut Brittle | Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe.

Yes, finally Bacon and Peantus in One Snack!

Those of you who know me, know my love of bacon and my love of peanuts. Now my love for Robin has grown. In her search for a local dealer of Le Whifs she found something WONDERFUL. Bacon Peanut Brittle. Have I mentioned how much I love Robin lately?

Hike to Pebble Creek

Hiked to Pebble Creek, about the half-way point to Muir today with friends. Took some pics. I felt good about the hike. A couple of more conditioning hikes and I should be ready to go all the way to Camp Muir in a few weeks.

Now this is cool. I have always wanted something like the Nike + system for cycling. You just have to worry about the safety issue that people will want to wear their  headphone/ear buds while cycling.

Nichelle and Ian’s Wedding

Click Photo to visit Gallery

Last Weekend was the wedding of Ian and Nichelle (Nichelle is Robin’s niece). I set up a Mobile Me Web Gallery for the photos I took and for anyone else to add to.

Emailing photos around and placing them on facebook is all well and good. Sometimes though these services can strip the EXIF data or even reduce the size of the photo.

So if you were at the wedding and took photos, please share them on this gallery. They will be synced to my laptop and backup 12 different ways in their original size and format for future generations. *wink wink Ian and Nichelle*.

For those of you tech savvy enough, this gallery has an RSS feed that will keep you up to date on new photos as they arrive.

Seriously Weird

Yeah, I do not know where to begin on this one..
