Four Day Weekend, Day 4 (May 6)
In the morning, Tony and Andy played together. In the afternoon, Tony had soccer practice and Andy played with his loudmouth friends. While watching him and his friends play together, it made me realize that Grand Theft Auto is the adult equivalent of smashing trucks together on the living room floor. Me, I scanned more photos [...]


Four Day Weekend, Day 2 (May 5)
On Saturday morning (day 1) I drove my wife to work so we could have the car to go to Navel Park. That was the plan, but when I got home I crawled back into bed and didn't wake up until the crack of 1pm. I felt refreshed, but guilty for shooting our plans for [...]


Four Day Weekend, Day 1 (May 3)
It turns out we have a four day weekend, not a three day one. Saturday was Constitution Memorial Day (kenpou kinen-bi), today is Childrens' Day (kodomo no hi), tomorrow is Greenery Day (midori no hi) and Tuesday is a freebie because two of the holidays were over the weekend. That freebie didn't show up on [...]

This week is Golden Week, when a slew of national holidays fall within days of each other and the entire country takes off work en masse.

Weekend Photos (Apr 28)
On Saturday while the boys were taking swimming lessons I spent around 45 minutes walking around the neighborhood in search of stuff to shoot with my new camera and lens. It's been so long since I've used anything other than a point-and-shoot camera that my eye for photos is not what it used to be. [...]


Musical Interlude (Apr 25)
His cover of the Rolling Stone's Brown Sugar is pretty good too. An excerpt from his blog: Even though I'm a ukulele player I don't own a Hawaiian shirt. It's not like anybody made a rule that if you play the ukulele you have to wear one. I never wanted one so I've never bought one. But this [...]


360 degree panoramic photography (Apr 24)
When QTVR came out in the mid 90's I was really into it. I took many cylindrical panoramas in my free time and also for clients of the web development company I worked for at the time. The technology has changed only a little since then, but the big advancement is that it's now possible [...]
