My Photo Selected

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

During a visit to Washington D.C. in 2000, I spent much time doing photography around Capitol Mall. A week ago I was notified that my photo of the “Three Soldiers” statue (below) was selected for inclusion in the Schmap Washington D.C. Monuments and Museums guide.  I thought that was kinda cool.

Comcast to Satisfy My Need for Speed

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Yes! Comcast comes through with mad speed for SF Bay Area users.  Come to think of it, they better come through with higher speeds around here; we’re one of the few places in the country (except Texas) with an economy healthy enough to justify their investment.

Their “Ultra” service will give me 22/5Mbps (down/up) for $62.95 month.

10 years ago at this time I was still on 56K dial-up (about 500 times slower than today’s connectivity).
