Easily Excitable Ice Cube
ByDerekSo… had made these colored ice cubes for a kids project and when I took the tray out of the freezer, it seems one ice cube got a little… um… excited. Apparently, there’s no shrinkage issue in my freezer.

Cardavenue: Gift Card Exchange
ByDerekI ran across Cardavenue while reading an article in Money magazine and loved the idea – a website where you can go and post gift cards that you have acquired that you don’t want or need, and try to trade them for other merchants that you might rather have instead. I got a couple Buca…

Punaro Glen Construction: Mid-December

Progress slowed down considerably since last update, although there were still some key accomplishments. #1 – Windows all got installed: #2 – Roofing all got installed. We were told that they couldn’t get…

Power back on!
ByDerekThe power came back on in my area of Hamburg (McKinley Mall area) at 7:00pm. Hopefully the same is happening for others as well. Our power went off about 11pm last night. Between the eerie silence, the sound of tree after tree snapping and falling, and the bizzare blue lightning, it was one of the…

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
