Just wanted to remind you to get outside more often. Found these pics on my camera and remembered that I went paintballing a few weeks back. Awesome time! Oh, yeah, the Three Wolves shirt :-))) [read the reviews! LOL] Getting ready. This is going to hurt tomorrow!! Ah, suburbs! :-) Was a great time! When [...]
Once again, this is the third installment of Masha’s “Брейманские Музыканты”. This first video is shot with a pocket cam that I just took out on occasions. This is to give you the feeling of the place: extremely friendly and very fun setup. Very happy to have friends like these! This one, again, is the full [...]
I’ve spent almost 30 years with computers. I’m 34, almost 35, and the first computer… I was six. That’s a different story altogether. I am all-of-a-sudeen amazed at/with technology. Really amazed. I have 36Mpixel cam here, a tiny 4K video cam, almost gigapixel display, etc. WOW! Do y’all remember life without computers, without gigapixels? Me, [...]
A friend reached out. Felt like I’m #10 on the list of her calls but she needed to be out. Walked around for a few hours. Hey, it was good and I got to have a beer. Grabbed my camera on the way out, thought I’d take some pics. It’s been a while since I’ve [...]
I was traveling quite a bit lately and missed the beginning of Spring in Philly. Well, I cannot fix that but I can grab a camera and pretend these are the first days of Spring. Now, why put this post in the “Travel” category? Well, if I was looking at these photos I would get [...]
April 17th, On the way to Masaya, Granada We are heading to a more touristy place. Can’t wait. I just might meet cute girls [spoiler: none!]. Speaking of that, meet my “condom”. You buy a bottle of Pepsi in a glass bottle. They show it to you and then pour it into a plastic bag [...]
We were sitting at a bar with Eugene and Anastasiia, this was my third event that day so I was already happy. Eugene was talking to me about this trip he wanted to take to someplace called Nicaragua. I have never been there. Matter of fact, I’ve always wanted to go to Africa. Of course [...]
So, I was going to go furniture-shopping this Sunday. I made plans with parents [I always ask for mom's advice] to hit up IKEA and a few stores in the area after my gym. Perfect weather, I skated in the morning — sixteen gorgeous miles. Ran by the gym and I’m ready. On the skate, [...]
Twelve-story parking garage? Sure! Gardens and parks? Why not?! Police brutality? Yeah, how without it?! Our skater Kim celebrated her birthday today with an awesome skate all over the city, lead by Doug. Our LandsSkaters group always has fun and you should join! Here’s my video of what was going on. Didn’t have the cam [...]
So, I’m sitting behind a quad-core little monster. Think about it, four processors, chugging away at compressing images for my upcoming post (travel to Nicaragua). And, guess what? It’s taking the machine as much time to process these today as it did ten years ago. What gives? Ha! Think megapixels, soon-to-be gigapixels. Cameras are advancing [...]
Lifehacker recommends to organize your bookshelves by color. What a great idea! I will do that once I put a new closet into my bedroom. I’ve been planning to do something like this and now is my chance! :-) Perfect idea, thanks, Lifehacker!
Nothing like a bit of encouragement, right? Well, I just signed up on 500px.com, uploaded a few photos and, literally, in 30 minutes I got an explosion of “likes” and comments. I am really truly humbled and flattered that people actually like my work! I will definitely continue to do more, especially with this kind [...]
Yet again I’m back to WordPress…
We’re all a little bit chubby. Well, if we are at all healthy that is. I’ve been trying to monitor my weight for a while now, five-six years at this point. I’ll start adding some articles here, which I think could be useful to either explain something to you, teach you, or change your mind [...]
