A million little things to do

First of all I want to thank everybody for the emails about my health. I’m fine. I’m just afflicted with seasonal allergies, and when I get tired, they seem to flare up more than usual.  I appreciate your kind words chicken broth recipes (I’m a vegetarian), and even that one guy who set me [...]

Too sick to participate in Social Media

I’m brewing coffee so strong right now I can taste it from just the fumes. I’m sore, my nose is plugged, and somewhere last night I walked into a den of no see ums that attacked every square inch of my ankles . All I want to do is crash on the couch [...]

Don’t ever order glossy prints with sloppy borders.  It looks like crap.

How much time do you spend planning your wedding

Thumbnail image for How much time do you spend planning your wedding

According to Malcom Gladwell, to become an expert at something it takes 10,000 hours of working at it. That’s a crazy amount of hours – 5 years of full time work at 8 hours a day.
I’m writing this because today is an anniversary for me.  It was 5 years ago that I photographed my very [...]

Baseball Season is here

I love watching baseball.  Playing, not so much.  I was never much of an athlete, and I remember that Hebrew School used to conflict with Little League practice.  You can see by the way I phrased the second sentance, that religious studies took center stage.  I’m OK with that.  There was only one guy that I knew [...]

Weddings at Villa Antonia

One of my very first weddings I ever did was at Villa Antonia, and I was blown away then by the architecture, landscaping, and views.  The other day I was surfing Wedding Venues in Austin, and I came across their website.  I don’t think that the photos they’ve picked to the place justice.  It really [...]

How often should you leave a comment on a blog?  I [...]

Should I Advertise?

I’ve done pretty well getting clients.  All my clients either come from referrals, or because they found me using Google.  I’m not boasting when I say that I’ve done OK with SEO and internet marketing – regular readers know that I dowell enough to have just purchased a house in this tight economy from only [...]

New Hardwood Floors

A little over a month ago, we bought our first house. Every single day since then we have been tearing, scraping, stroking, rubbing, and hammering on some surface until complete exhaustion overcomes us or at least a mean blister appears.
In some cases the work has been so good that it appears like nothing has [...]

House remodeling – living room painting episode

The day started with me taking out my iPhone with serious intentions to document the process with photos.  I soon realized after one coat of  Behr ultra pure white flat enamel on the ceiling that there was no way to keep my beautiful communicator free from paint.  So you are only getting one crappy cameraphone [...]

I’m not a racist

I’ve made plenty of mistakes in English, Hebrew, Spanish, French and even a bit of Klingon.  That’s why I find Engrish so funny!

Peep Experiments

People used to gather in my office when I was a Biochemist.  Around Halloween I would make glowsticks from scratch, on the 4th of July – it was little fireworks using combinations of dry ice and various other chemicals.
On Easter, it was all about Peeps.  The little yellow, pink, blue and blue marshmallow treats met [...]
