I was catching up on GeekBrief today and Cali Lewis covered a very cool website for an ad agency called Publicis & Hal Riney.  What made it so cool is the navigation - if you have a webcam hooked up, that is.
(And why don’t you?)
After asking permission to use your webcam as an input device, [...]

OK, the unexplained “sigh” photo was taken on the way home from my friend’s kid’s confirmation on Saturday.  Mom and I made the trek out to the ‘burbs in about 40 minutes, including a trip to Starbucks to grab a couple of Frapps for the road.  After the luncheon, we headed over to Lisa’s place [...]

Well, yeah.  I’m surprised this story is still making the rounds - even I’ve [...]

Very tall, originally uploaded by Marci Maleski.

Right after I took this picture, there were a couple of raptors wheeling around the upper spires. They were way too high to tell for sure if they were hawks or falcons and, without a zoom, they were just specks in the other photos.
