Nominating the Hugos
I was surprised when I learned that having joined the Anticipation SF Convention last year, I not only got the right to vote on the Hugo Awards last year, but I get to vote for the nominees this year. For how organized the voting procedure was (they sent you a packet of most of the [...]
New Camera
Lately, every time I wanted a picture for the blog I didn't have my camera, and every time I took a picture with the cell phone, I ended up apologizing for it. So when Woot had a good price on an Casio Exilim camera, I bought it. It arrived today. It's a good size for [...]
District 9
I watched this movie last night because I'm going to be nominating Hugo awards and this seemed like a likely candidate for a nomination. It's a surprisingly good science fiction movie. I found it very unpleasant to watch because of all the violence, so I only gave it two stars at netflix, but really, Hollywood [...]

Snow Dog at the Dog Park
Snow Dog We had a good snow sculpture snow last week, and someone made this dog at the dog park. I've been researching cell phones with better cameras, and cameras that fit better in a pocket, and haven't found anything for less than $80, which seems frivolous. But I might get annoyed enough at the [...]
Polish Pastries
I've been struggling with Windows all morning, so instead of telling you about yesterday's concert, I'll just show you the pictures I took of the pastry. I mostly got the homemade ones; there were also some good ones ordered from the internet. Mazurki The way my family makes them, mazurki are a cookie base with [...]
