Market madness
ByDerek
I haven’t done much financial blogging lately, but today I have a good reason to. The stock market rallied a bit today, and everything in my portfolio was up… except for Valero (VLO) and Nighthawk Radiology (NHWK). Valero I can understand. Oil prices fell a bit, and so the oil refiners will follow. But Nighthawk…

Smoke yellowed and falling
ByDerek
Every day I’ve been driving by the slowly demolishing Aud, and keep seeing the old, cigarette smoke-yellowed sound baffling cans hanging from the ceiling and envisioning this shot: Luckily, Sara Etten snapped it, along with a series of other great shots, available here.
This is Web 2.0
ByDerek
Being a geek by trade (and at heart) I found this article – O’Reilly: What Is Web 2.0 – quite interesting. I’ve been around through the entire life of the web. I used to “surf” on the old Buffalo FreeNet, which would connect you with other FreeNets around the country. Images were uuencoded into thousands…
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.

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.
