This is a video I took of some cloud moving over the top of Volcano Concepcion on the island of Ometepe in Nicaragua. The speed has been increased by a factor of eight.

Today I am just in the worst, most depressed mood ever. I don’t even know what to blame it on . . . many things I guess. No, I’ll blame it on distance and the fact that work is sucking right now. But anyway, for some reason I am inspired to take pictures of bugs and maybe a Miami skyline at night. I’ll see how I go with that this weekend. ...

I was having dinner with friends down at Lincoln Mall in South Beach and couldn’t help but notice this… a fatality. broken. wasted. it not just any broken bottle, it’s a broken bottle of Evian water. oh, so SoBe.

http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/08/new-blogger.html I’m not one of the special people who can do the switch to the new version of blogger yet, but a new funky layout could just be what this site needs. Of course, ‘funky’ is completely in the eye of the beholder. Some people around here are still convinced that wearing brown belts with white sneakers is totally funky. (whatever, pk).

My holiday in Nicaragua was quite simply the most eye-opening, amazing trip I’ve ever been on. I’ve never seen such extremes in my life. I went to the upper class club “Hipa Hipa” in Managua and then drank Toña in a bar made of sheet iron on the island of Ometepe. I’ve never lived in such extremes, from the very nice Holiday Inn in Managua to sleeping at a place that only had a fan and no hot water on Ometepe (when there was water at all). It was just amazing to experience the two extremes. ...

I was going to complete what happened on the rest of the roadtrip… but screw it. One of the highlights was when a girl I was chatting to at some bar in Asheville, North Carolina, basically proposed to me. If it weren’t for the 5 pints of Guinness I’d had already, I might have even considered the offer. I don’t even know how that makes sense. All I’m really trying to say is that a fair chunk of the pictures from the trip are online here. ...

The forbidden dance, and Kaoma’s song is one of my favourite songs from growing up in the 80’s. Check out this page and get your 80’s fix today!!

From http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13825566/?GT1=8307 “Paleontologists say they have found the fossilized remains of a fanged killer kangaroo and what they describe as a “demon duck of doom.”” The guys here at work are loving this story. Australia must seem like some magical mystery land of killer creatures. Demon duck of doom. That’s awesome.

It almost seemed like we were never going to get on the road the Friday night of the road trip. I had left my camera tripod at Tobacco Road from doing photos the night before, and thinking that I might need to use it (I never did end up using it), I drove all the way to Miami to pick it up after work. Eventually my partner in crime Eddie and I left my place at 9pm … that’s a bloody late when we were intending to make it to Jacksonville that night (about a 6 hour drive, sticking to the speed limit). ...

Believe it or not, I’m still alive. The last couple of weeks have been especially hectic, with me finishing up part of a music course and work being insane. Oh, and fit a supermassive road trip up through South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia in with all that on the past July 4 weekend. I’ve again been updating Flickr with pics from the trip so if you click on the badge to the right you’ll get to them. I have some weird arse stories to share from that trip… ...
