New Hindu Goddess statue, Kali
I have a set of statues of Hindu gods at work – I started collecting them when I worked at Classmates.com, and one day the women on the team (the team was more than half female) came into my office and wanted to know why there were no goddesses. Oops. Not wanting an HR scene, […]

My new watch
I ordered a watch for less than $10 (including shipping) online – it looked cool in the ad and now that I’ve got it I think it’s really neat. I love watches that don’t get in the way, and this one qualifies. As you can see from the picture, you push a button and some […]

“Eating with a spoon, they won’t give you a knife” (video)
Nathan and I went to an El Pollo Loco for a quick lunch – the food is pretty healthy, fast, and tasty (he agreed just so you kn0w). But, they only gave him a fork and spoon to eat a two-piece lunch. Of course, I thought of Peter Gabriel’s wonderful “Lead a Normal Life,” and […]

5 pics with the new Hipstamatic release and Fashion pack
I grabbed the latest release of Hipstamatic Friday along with the free Fashion pack; yesterday I tried the combination out with four “art” shots and one fun pic; hope you enjoy them! As for the program, the latest Hipstamatic is a huge improvement – the old one would eventually stop working, requiring me to restart […]

Pictures: Toastmasters Leadership Institute and some others
I attended Toastmasters leadership training last Saturday – all club officers try to attend training twice a year; clubs get credit towards their goals by having at least 4 officers training twice in the year. We also had an offsite meeting for work to talk about offshoring; I took a picture of a cool flowering […]
