In December…I found this butterfly dead on the ground on the 23rd. Used the macro lens on my Nokia 3660 for the closeup.

In a Washington Post article today, I was happy to note that our governor in California has taken a stand on environmental issues.

Because California has embraced conservation like no other big state, its per capita consumption of energy has remained flat over 30 years, while the rest of the country’s has increased by 50 percent. And total vehicle emissions of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons have fallen more than 20 percent in 15 years, even though miles driven by state motorists are up by more than 20 percent.

Here’s the article

I found this poster today when I was skating down in Soma…

So now I’ve been experimenting with the idea of cross posting, and using the features that I like from each series of blogging software…

So far I’m super frustrated with getting my 5 “old” Blogger blogs over to the “new” system…

Vox is really pretty, and really seems to have the SF Mission style going on the themes… haven’t had a chance to fully configure it yet…

Wordpress is the most customizable so far…and I really like the community that supports it.

This article was helpful for me, I definitely noted a few of these traits in myself…though I’m trying to make hypermodern as full as content as possible…

Hooray for Photos and Videos!

Holy cats I’m impressed…check out m.flickr.com on the mobile, and you can browse upload and everything…so great.
Here is the most amazing sunrise picture I’ve taken since I’ve been living in California.

SO SO beautiful!
