Shannon and I are now married.

I've posted some of our wedding pictures to a Flickr group.

I heard a knocking at my window, just now. I discovered a woodpecker, climbing the wooden-edged frame, of the opened window, across the hall.

A new look, for a journey that began nearly two years ago.

Along with the new look-and-feel, I switched the blog back-end from Blogger to Movable Type 3.0.

The inspiration for the design, came from the striking cover of the 1959 edition, of Ruth Benedict's Patterns of Culture.

For more information about the re-design, visit the About page.

I recommend exploring the updated Photography, Programs, and Words sections.

If you notice anything strange/broken, leave a comment.

I'm getting married on the 22nd of this month.

The new design for this page is almost complete.

Busy times.

Amuse yourselves with my del.icio.us links and this turntablism tutorial [RealMedia].
