I know Christmas isn't celebrated by everyone, but if you're one of those who does celebrate it, Merry Christmas! Even though the origins of the date are pagan, the meaning we have chosen to ascribe to it over time is certainly worth celebrating. For those among us who are Christians, it means our Savior's birth. … Continue reading Merry Christmas!

The Olympus E-3 Launch Party
Back on August 15, I wrote about the "new E-1", the Pro DSLR from Olympus that would replace the existing E-1.

The party was held at the Museum of Natural History in NYC, and … Continue reading The Olympus E-3 Launch Party
The reason behind our trip to Romania
You may recall that I mentioned a recent trip to Romania in a few of my posts. The occasion for our trip was a joyous one, thank goodness: my wife's sister got married.

After I deleted the blatantly bad ones, I was left with 607 photos. I … Continue reading Photos from the Legg Mason Tennis Classic
Happy (belated) Birthday to ComeAcross!
After getting home this evening, I remembered (and it wasn't the first time) that I've neglected to write about my blog's first birthday. It is, after all, a momentous occasion, and needless to say, one I won't encounter for some time again... 🙂 If you haven't already, have a quick look at the About page. … Continue reading Happy (belated) Birthday to ComeAcross!
BSO's Annual Donor Thank You Concert
Ligia and I attended the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's 2007 Annual Donor Thank You Concert last night. It was held at Strathmore Concert Hall. Pete & Nicole, thank you for the tickets! It was simply amazing. I realized two things during the concert: The older I get, the more I appreciate classical music. The BSO is … Continue reading BSO's Annual Donor Thank You Concert
