A Move to Germany!

Current Mood: HappySo I was living in San Diego, working at Psyonix, and got an email from a recruiter basically saying “I’ve got jobs in Europe if you’re interested”. Normally I tell recruiters that I’m fine, and thank them, but Europe made me stop and think. I’ve been trying to get to Europe at least [...]

The Berlin Reunion

This is from a few years ago, but I was fascinated by it and wanted to post a link to the photos. France’s Royal de Luxe street theatre company put on a show featuring two giant marionettes as part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Check out [...]

Electric Bicycle!

So I decided to start riding my bike to work here in San Diego a couple months ago. I live in an area called City Heights, and work downtown near Seaport Village. It’s about 7 miles one way, 14 miles round trip on the route I usually take. The distance doesn’t bother me, but the [...]

Negligent Grandpa

Okay, okay. So a few months back (make that 5) I posted the Pregnant Pumpkin Belly pictures, and people were like “hey, dude…where’s the baby?” So here he is: Evan Andric Gazewood was born on November 29th, 2008. He is a Giant Baby, and at the age of 3 months was wearing clothes for 9 [...]

Pregnant Pumpkin Belly

So my daughter is a Halloween freak, and also happens to be about 8 1/2 months pregnant. She decided that I should paint her belly to look like a pumpkin, so she could lay in some leaves and we could take “pumpkin” pictures. Go figure. So the family headed out for what is probably our [...]

Fire and Lightning

This is the time of year when people that live around large areas of dry acreage start to get nervous. “Dry Lightning” has been a real problem this summer, and the West has had record numbers of brush fires. We’ve had a few in our area, and a few nights back had one in the [...]

Machines and Memories

We used to have a Ford Explorer. I say used to, because of course, we don’t anymore. My wife bought that car before we met, and went on many road trips and adventures with it. If she was driving and hit a bad bump in the road, she would say “sorry!” and pat it on [...]

Time-Lapse Photography Tutorial

Not too long ago I shot some time-lapse sequences of the clouds over the mountains from my house. I’ve put the sequences (saved as flash movies) on the tutorial section on my gallery site. These were a lot of fun to shoot and put together. I had to keep the dogs and children away from [...]

End of Winter?! In my dreams maybe!

What was I thinking? A couple of warm sunny days and I’m trying to fool myself into thinking all the snow is gone for the year. Fat chance. If the snow’s gone, what’s all this stuff on the back porch? No tags for this post.

End of Winter (Almost)

I took this picture today waiting for my kid’s school bus. It was actually almost warmish…could it be that Spring is actually around the corner? Hey, one can hope, right? The stores are starting to get in bags of soil, mulch, and all that good gardening stuff. I see more trees being planted in my [...]
