Friday Five – January 20, 2012
ByDerekSo the big news in the tech world this week was… Newt Gingrich. Just kidding it was SOPA – a proposed piece of garbage legislation written people that don’t manage their own Facebook and Twitter accounts that, if enacted, could cause disastrous harm to innovation and the tech industry. This issue was so important that…

Now on Facebook
ByDerekI decided to give the whole Facebook thing a whirl, and much to my surprise have found oodles of people that I’ve been out of touch with. Facebook is like one big reunion! Family members, high school classmates, RITers, random Buffalo people I don’t even know (I am not adding you all as friends, sorry)…

I’m glad that the southtowns will finally have something to fill the gap left by the closing of Media Play and Sam Goody. Unfortunately, it’s a new…

Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio
ByDerekJust one quick shot tonight. This is the courtyard of Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio. I love the moss growing in the cobblestones, and the light rain really makes the color stand out. Someday I’ll have to come back to this shot and add in a non-blah sky, but for now… just look at everything else. 🙂

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.
