Once again, I’m going to try to limit my photos per post so that I might make more posts (and stave off scrolling boredom). It’s not gone well so far, I keep finding more pictures that I want to post all at once!

Nerdtour 2012: It’s the future!
Okay, even though I’m no longer over there, I still have a lot of things that I did in Japan that I haven’t posted about, so once more into the breech!

Now that’s heavy metal!
Well, without further ado, let’s start this new year off with a (head)bang!

Christmas 2012: “Hey, Mayans! Phftpftft!”
Well, it’s Christmas, here at over a decade into the next millennium. A lot of stuff happened this year, good and bad, but for now we can have a brief time to think about the good things we’ve received, the good things we can give, and be with friends and family. For those of us who are Christians, it is a time to think about the gift God gave us, and even though the exact day isn’t recorded, it’s as good a time as any. Granted we should be thinking about it always, but at least at this time of year we really don’t have any excuse not to!
Those who have family, take this time to be with them, because the time with them may be shorter than you think. If you have lost loved ones, take time to remember them, remember the love you shared, and the good times, give their memory the gift of not being sad. Easier said than done, especially if the pain is fresh.
If you have a chance, give something to help those who need it, in whatever way they may need, in whatever way you can. Think about doing the same thing a few weeks from now, when few others are thinking of it. Give the world a gift by making your little bit of it better.
Most of all, Merry Christmas to all!
Flashmob, classical style!
The Banco Sabadell arranged this performance of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” as a flashmob event to celebrate the anniversary of their founding. Â I really like how the music just builds and builds, and how the little girl who first puts money in the cellist’s hat stays there almost the whole time. Â Seeing the little kids enjoy the music as well as the adults is beautiful, too!
Enjoy!
Running a blog is strange…
For some reason, I get more people looking at my blog when I don’t post new things than when I do!
