the daily dub

Check out digg.com, it’s the way slashdot was supposed to be.

So, planning a trip for two people with very different goals is much harder than it seems.

I’m thinking of a long, adventurous trek to Patagonia or Nepal, and my sister is more thinking of heading to New Zealand and chilling on the beach.

Subsequent talks have convinced her of my Patagonia idea, but we still need to find a trip that is less strenuous than 12 miles a day. So, if any of you faithful readers (yea… right…) know any good, low-medium level treks to Patagonia, keep me posted.

Let me know what you think of the new layout. It changed again, the images up top rotate now.

Woohoo!

Well, my hosting provider dropped the ball yet again.. They forgot to restore my content from backups after my accidental deletion of said content, so much of my content (read: kickass photos) is lost. Luckily I dupped most of the photos over on my dA account. Redundancy to the rescue. This is the sneaker-net equivalent of RAID-1.

Grrr.

In light of that news, I decided it was time for a new layout. Check the new site out. Whacha think?

So, about my last rant. I feel kinda silly posting it here. It’s more about the lack of useful feedback I’ve been getting from a site designed to generate feedback for digital art, deviantART. I’ve been getting great feedback from friends, and spend all this time posting images on DA, and get comments like:

omfg! LOL! That pix is so kickass!!!1!one!omfgwtf!

Yea, I know… I took it. Thanks for the constructive criticism. Along with that rant, I was ranting about the lame people at Cal Poly. So many people here are or seem to be fake, and it pisses me off. Along with the fakeness, I see too many people walking around “asleep” with no idea who or where they are, in life, or in general. It makes me sad, and angry at the same time. Sorry for dumping my garbage here on my few faithful readers (I know of 3. If there are more, leave me a comment or two.. )

Also, I do feel like I’m stepping out of an old life that was very up and down. Leaving generally sunny days, with the occasional thunder storm, for the always sunny skies of Hawaii, with the added benefit of living on a beach and constantly drinking margaritas.

Sorry for the imagery, but its true. Things are looking up and I wanted to share my enthusiasm.
