I heard a noise, saturday night, and thought it was some drunk messing with our dumpster.

My neighbors were being too noisy to sleep through anyways, might as well finish it off, I said to myself. Yeah. =p

From a calm morning, to winds so fast they are whipping up whitecaps on Lake Union.

A lenticular cloud formed over mt rainier (not seen), and is now being torn apart by a jet-stream. I think. Looks cool.

I was already awake, but when all three news copters are taking off at the same time, I figured something was up, and sure enough, there was a boat taking on water. Of course it’s in a quadrant of the lake I can’t see without going up to the roof, and I wasn’t dressed yet =p

Still, the long exposure of one of the copters leaving looks kinda cool.

I’ve never had this problem before, where the moon was too hot to shoot.

OnLive announced a contest to celebrate the release of their new Android app. The grand prize is an iPad 2.

If there was any doubt as to the growing popularity of the faux-retro movement, I’m flipping through channels this morning and discover a Tom & Jerry special that seems to be a sort of steampunk-sherlock-holmes mashup.

NIMBYism at The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a photo by Xymon on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
It really kinda bugs me to see that an organization supposedly founded to decrease worldwide suffering, goes out of it’s way to be dicks to the local homeless. I’m sure the money they spent on adding these to their benches would not have gone very far in dealing with the local homeless problems, but it would have done something.
