American Wrongly Jailed in Nicaragua

A few months ago, I posted about a wonderful magazine I found in Nicaragua, called El Puente. Well, it turns out that the Publisher of the eco-friendly magazine has been convicted of her murder and has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Many people can place Eric Volz at his office in Managua during […]

Search by title on flickr!

I don’t usually change the titles of the photos I upload to flickr, mainly so that I can easily find the same photo on my computer. Given that there are about 350 million photos on flickr, I wanted to see if I was alone (most likely not, right?). So I searched for all photos with […]

Another time I need to wear pants

If I’m wearing long-pants, it’s probably a special occasion. These sort of functions include Weddings, Funerals, Bar Mitzvahs. I also wear pants if I’m skiing or flyfishing. Otherwise I wear short-pants (a.k.a. shorts). Every fucking day of the year. Don’t believe me? Ask anybody I know. 10 below and snowing? Free beer is purchased for […]
