So, as of last night I’m moved into my currently-permanent residence in Pittsford, NY. It’s a condo in a little subdivision just down the road from the Pittsford Wegmans (and soon a Trader Joe’s, plus lots of other stores) on one side and the Erie Canal on the other. The condo neighborhood is apparently mostly [...]

You may recall that right before Christmas I got a job offer to go work at StormFrog, where I did some freelance work in 2010. I promptly (if regretfully) put in my notice at Accuraty, packed my bags and got myself a plane ticket, since they needed another designer as soon as possible. StormFrog set [...]

It was lately Christmas, as you may have noticed. My parents are back from sabbatical in Eugene, Oregon, and we celebrated the holiday nicely together with delicious food and so on. I went to some nice parties for friends and coworkers, and we all went to the UU church’s Christmas Eve service, which was very [...]

I went up to New Hampshire over the weekend to visit my grandparents with my dad. We had a good time with them. My grandfather did some wandering though the forest with us, and we kept my grandmother company in her nice chair by the fireplace. It was quite a nice visit. They have a [...]
With the holiday season, I haven’t gotten around to writing about my activities in a timely manner. I had Thanksgiving with my best friend’s family and friends, which was a really fun time. We played some games, watched some football, and of course ate lots of delicious food. Accuraty also had a holiday LAN party, [...]

More pictures from my photo trip with my dad, this time in black-and-white. We’ve both been trying to get better at the technique, I understand that it’s supposed to build your appreciation for contrasting brightnesses in your photography compositions. Seems appropriate for Halloween!

Some weeks ago, my dad and I took a trip out to Kaufmann Lake on a misty autumn morning, and wandered around with my camera. Here are some of the photos. We took a lot of blurry ones of spiderwebs covered in dew… I didn’t turn up the saturation on this one, it came out [...]

Well, I may not be that great at the “adding ingredients together in the right order” aspect of cooking, but when it comes to veggie slicing, I feel like a pro. Check out these little tiny slivers of onion for my recipe – and not a tear was shed over their slicing! I made Pot [...]

There’s been a nest right outside the kitchen for a while now, and I’ve been enjoying watching the inhabitants. I saw the robin bringing the first clumps of grass, and feeding the babies, and then the babies stretching their wings, and finally last night when I looked after dinner, they all seemed to be gone. [...]

I absolutely love the Scandinavian landscape – especially those archipelagoes full of tiny, rocky, evergreen-covered islands. Even before I was a fan of Myst, I thought they were pretty much the most beautiful, mysterious, inspiring places ever. When I lived in Sweden, there was an old dry river valley behind my family’s apartment, with huge [...]
