Meet The Press Comments Off

“Winning Eleven 6 International”:http://www.snapturtle.com/archives/000083.php was “reviewed”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/04/22/DD85143.DTL in the San Francisco Chronicle today. Nice to see a niche game get some “main stream” press for a change.

Small World 3

SMS was invented for a reason, but I don’t think the guy in the top right corner has ever heard of it. Frankly, I think he forgot his manners too. Really chops my hide when some snob is practically yelling into his phone on the ferry. Even more so when the guy is yacking about [...]

Wanna Buy A Coaster? Comments Off

Collecting things has always been something I’ve liked to do. I collected stamps as a boy, then moved on to baseball cards and comics. Now I find myself collecting video games and Macintosh computers. One thing I haven’t even thought of collecting was AOL CDs. Yes, that’s right, those pesky little silver platters flooding your [...]

The Shadow Of A Tree Comments Off

During an afternoon photo taking session I happened upon a lone tree that was casting a very interesting shadow of itself. The tree actually wasn’t very pretty, mostly bear but the shadow wouldn’t tell that part of the story.

Playoff Time Again Comments Off

The “NBA”:http://www.nba.com/ playoffs started today. In fact, the “Sacramento Kings”:http://www.nba.com/kings/ are currently playing the Utah Jazz. Normally this time of year I’d be really excited about the playoffs, watching every moment of the Kings as they begin their assault for the elusive NBA Championship. But, things are different this year. With the recent birth of [...]

The Art Of J-Walking 1

You’ve done it. I’ve done it. Everybody does it. J-Walking is a classic example of “busy” people in such a hurry that they’d risk their life just to cross the street 15 seconds faster. Or, maybe someone j-walks because everyone else is so why not them. Personally I don’t care if you j-walk or not [...]

Anyone Seen My Wallet? 4

Those who know me well enough, know that I love to talk about Japan. Mostly I like to talk about the technology in Japan like “cell phones”:http://www.wirelesswatchjapan.com/, “electronics”:http://www.showroom.sony.co.jp/, or “Shinkansen”:http://www.japanrail.com/ (bullet trains) because those in the states have lame cell phones, three seasons removed technology and “B.A.R.T.”:http://www.bart.gov/index.asp. However, the main topic I always like to [...]

Ivy Drops Wallpaper 4

I’ve always been a fan of wallpaper for my desktop, usually changing it every week or so. Lately I’ve been playing around with a lot of my abstract photos and found that they make some nice desktop backgrounds. So, I’ve added the first one here to snapturtle, certainly not the last however. This was actually [...]

Screw You 2

I am happy. Right now. I feel like skipping, running, jumping. I want to have fun. I want to entertain you. Is this a crime? Am I not allowed to be happy? When I got on the ferry today, skipping along, a woman sitting near my usual spot (why do I always sit in the [...]
