I didn't go to Docklands many times - maybe three or four in total - but it was certainly an experience. Loud techno being blasted from stacks of speakers immersed the several hundred people in the shipyard's old welding hall in laser-lit fog and thundering rhythms. 2019-11-03More

Just managed to metaphorically dip my toe in the tallgrass prairie before a thunderstorm rolled in and it was time to hurry back on the turnpike. 2019-10-08More
Because 360 degrees aren't enough when converting from VR video to normal video and you want a circular fisheye effect. 2019-10-06More
A lot less biking this summer than I had hoped, so I enjoy what I managed the more! 2019-09-22More
A friend asked me if I could help out with some product photos. It was Thomas Erikson, author of the popular book Surrounded by Idiots who needed some photos for his website. 2019-09-21More

When using a narrower-angle lens and panoramic stitching to get a higher-resolution photo with the field of view of a wider-angle lens, there are some things that change in the resulting photo. 2019-09-14More
Super resolution doesn't work, but panorama stitching does. In order to help me aim the camera and get the most pixels out of the resulting component photos, I created an app that uses the orientation sensor in my phone to assist me. 2019-09-14More
I finally completed the paint job I started in 2010. Back then, I skipped repainting the bedroom, rationalizing the decision as (a) too much work to disassemble the wardrobe and (b) I was going to be unconscious in the bedroom anyway so who cares what it looks like? But just like other multi-year-long projects, suddenly they end up completed. To my great surprise. To really "close the circle", I used the same paint roller as back in 2010, one of the brushes, tape, floor cover and furniture cover from back then as well. I guess it paid off to have them in a corner of my basement storage, thinking "well you never know, they might be useful some day" whenever I saw them. 2019-09-01More

Due to a mistake, part of the graffiti piece Highway by Still Heavens Only Force was partially painted over on August 13, 2019. I noticed that I had a one-day spike of search hits on the Google search console, and when I saw that it was for the search "still heavens only force", I first thought that someone had linked the article from somewhere else, or something. The truth, as we know, was something quite different. 2019-08-25More
The Immoral Majority is part history of the transformation of the evangelical movement in the United States to a position supportive of Trump, part a condemnation of said realignment, and part a plea and exhortation to return to the movement's roots. What makes the book unusual for me is that it approaches the question from a Christian perspective and argues from a Biblical standpoint - in particular, it argues from a pre-Trump evangelical standpoint. 2019-08-25More
