Lotusphere wrapup
ByDerek
Ahh… Lotusphere. You go to learn, to be immersed in new technology, to see glimpses of the future, and to be bathed in yellow goodness (yellow is the new black!). The only problem is leaving and coming back to the reality that your company has no plan to upgrade to Notes/Domino 7 at this time,…

Time flies when… uh… you’re stuck at home due to the Coronavirus. Somehow I’ve managed to go nearly 3 months without posting an update here. There have been the occasional Instagram pics if you’re following along there, but I’ll bring everyone up to speed here too. We had about a long lull in January/February where…
Fallingwater
ByDerek
Hat tip to fix buffalo today for running across this excellent video clip on Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. This building has always been at the top of my list of places to go see, and even without seeing it in person I know that it’s my dream house.
My politics
ByDerek
The local blogosphere is now in full tilt with the Democratic convention over and the GOP convention in progress. I read several blogs from people on both sides of the aisle, and they both do and say things that I don’t agree with. The main problem I see with politics is that people don’t take…
Targeting Wal-Mart
ByDerek
I’m no big fan of Wal-Mart. I don’t go there more than once or twice a year. Frankly, I believe that Wal-Mart probably could stand to pay their employees a little more or expand their healthcare coverage a bit. But I strongly believe that Maryland’s bill targeting Wal-Mart is wrong on so many levels. I’m…
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.
