A busy weekend ahead

Tomorrow I’ll be in the Bay area. First we are going to visit the acupuncture school in Oakland and see if it’s any good. Afterwards we’re invited by David to go to the Green Festivals in San Francisco.

A speaker at the Green Festivals is Chuck D. of Public Enemy, one of my teenage heroes but unfortunately he spoke today… too bad. I’m sure there are lots of other things to do and I’m looking forward to what Joey Shepp has to say about The Green Web: Advancing Sustainability on the Internet. Could be interesting.

I’ll have my camera ready and will have some pictures up by Sunday!

Boston Globe: the Big Picture

One of my favorite blogs/newssite is the Boston Globe’s the Big Picture.

With its vibrant oversized photographs and minimalist design, the Boston Globe’s The Big Picture weblog launched on June 1 to instant global acclaim. It’s designed, programmed, and written by Alan Taylor, an old-school web programmer and blogger, in his spare time while working on community features at Boston.com.

Read the interview with Alan Taylor, creator of the Big Picture. Pretty neat stuff…

Red Sun

Drat! California is on fire again., originally uploaded by Josh Sommers.

Sonoma County is still covered with a thick layer of smoke and yesterday was the worst day so far but there is also a positive side to all of this. The sunrises and sunsets are just stunning. The sun is bright red and it’s just beautiful to look at. Only problem is the darn smell of smoke…

Mestreech

I was able to pull some old images from one of my websites through the Internet Archive. Finally some memories back. Having your database and hard drive crashed in the digital age is just a disaster. Look for the Maastricht album on my photography page.

Next step is scanning most of my hard copy pictures (oh yeah, old skool photography) and upload them here. Stay tuned…
