Added a bunch of pictures onboard the Oasis of the Seas, where I am currently doing a video broadcast, * here. * Enjoy!

Made a few updates since Singapore. Not posting links, you'll have to go into the photo gallery on your own and check the 'travel' section for Bermuda.

Sometimes the universe just sends you a sign:

Mega-boost. I think this guy's name is Anthony - either way, he's got this box dialed.

Gio, mega-size 360 over Jason, Ryan, Chris and the fourth dude whose name I don't know. The software to do this is a little funky - notice, no wheels at the peak of the jump. Might need a wider angle for this to work right.

Good thing I like my day job. First attempt at doing this - spacing's a little too close for this to work. Josh 360 over the small spine.

** Tons of BMX pictures ** from last night. My back was sore, so I decided to take pictures instead of riding. Highlights include Gio doing 360's over the big spine and box jump, Chris and Gio doing 270 whips, and Josh with super-smooth 180 and 360 over the small spine.

Good point.

This is from a couple of weeks ago with Thor's camera.

Took some more pictures at Piccolo last night. Actually, my friend Josh wasn't really into riding because he didn't have his regular bike so I let him play with the camera. I put the 50 mm lens on it just to see the different results and I think it came out okay. ** Here's a link ** to the pictures

WTF?



Giant Spider-man in the 'hood...

I finally went over the spine at the skatepark last night!!

Yes, I do like taking cartoonish photos of my car.

No, that's not a giant bicycle.

Rainy season can kiss Jake's ass.

What else would you name an electrical appliance store in Gibraltar?

 

Only email worth getting this entire week included this:

Now this is a good idea

Ocean view urinals!

Woo! Look at me, I can update my facebook from my blog now, too. Now all I have to do is figure out how to update the blog from twitter and I can probably start some kind of infinite loop....

Comments, now, too! Have fun.

Jaw, meet floor... Unknown San Francisco local dude j-hops, bunnyhops(?) a pair of concrete urban decor thingys. Photo sequence of a repeat * here * starting with DSC_0400.

In unrelated news, you can now subscribe to the infrequent updates here VIA the RSS link at the very bottom of this page.

Enjoy!

Just arrived in San Francisco with the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage cruise. Put up a few pictures over * Here * of the ship pulling in to San Francisco. I'll probably get out and get some shots walking around later. The little map application on the left should show what area I'm in now, too - my bluetooth GPS died, but Google stepped up with their Latitude application.

Close!

Kid whose name I can't remember knocks the bar off at 38". I think the shadow in the foreground is the lens hood, since it goes away when I remove the hood later...

Marigold, I think

Testing a new way of posting photos now that I got a new camera. This is one of my 'scratch-N-dent' flowers in front of the house.

Getting a good deal on some landscape blocks from a friend that removed them from his yard, so I am building a raised planting bed in my circular driveway. I decided to change the design after seeing Vincent's neighbors yard - He did a multi-level thing that looks good, so I'm copying that a bit. Got pictures of the blocks just setting in place ** Here **. I'll level it all and probably make it 4 blocks high when I get back - going out for a few days this week.

I got tired of looking at the weeds growing up in one area of the yard, and needed to add sprinklers anyway, so on the advice of a friend, I ripped out one section and put red lava rocks this weekend. I also put sprinklers in for the entire front yard. Huge pain in the ass. Got some pictures **Here**

* The plants all survived my week out of town * Still have to do some adjusting of the sprinkler timing, but everything is still alive, so that's a plus...

* Check out what was parked next to me at the airport garage* when I got home. * Porsche 911 GT3 * Nice.

Well, this says a lot about how my weekend is going.

Haven't posted anything in a while. Not much to report, I suppose. Today, the Smart dealer invited all the owners to go to the Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance car show, so we all got together at the dealership and caravanned to the event. Once we got there, the organizers had us drive right in to the show and park off to the side, so that was pretty cool. I took a few pictures - they are * Here *. There were a lot of nice cars there.
