Gain one, lose one
ByDerekThe universe has a tendency to balance itself out, and this time, unfortunately, the announcement of Dot was countered with the departing of Grandpa Punaro. I grew up living next door to my grandparents, so seeing them was a regular occurrence. While age took it’s toll on his body, his mind was always sharp and…

FYI: FYE
ByDerekWell, it certainly didn’t take long for a replacement for Media Play to move in. Albany-based Trans World Entertainment (NASDAQ: TWMC), operators of several music and video chains, signed long-term leases to operate two of the region’s five Media Play stores. Media Play closed its local outlets in January. The two stores re-opening under the…

ByDerekBuffaloGeek has asked us to take a picture of what we see out our windows, as a glimpse into our daily lives. I’ll submit a shot Amanda took today, literally out the window. It’s our first dinner on our new patio.

Think it can’t happen to your town?

From his deck, Mr. Schönherr can see the town’s famous hilltop Gothic castle as well as two of its three power-generating windmills. On his roof, a…

One easy step to eliminating toll barrier delays
ByDerekFirst off, the delays at the recently vanquished toll barriers sound much worse in today’s Buffalo News article than they actually are. The day the tolls ended was bad. Every day since then, they haven’t been significantly worse than when they were taking our cash. Possibly a minute or two slower at the Black Rock…

For the uninitiated, Geocaching is an activity where an object of some type is hidden at a specific location. That location’s lattitue and longitude are published on a website, along with a…

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.
