Just back from my good friend Scott's wedding in NY. Pics up on flickr for mutual friends.
The wedding was down at the gantries in Queens, which was a terrific location and the weather was just perfect.

Totally out of the blue, my MacBook Pro 08 decided to blow up. Laptops just don't seem to like me much. Without using the word "addiction", I just can't sit around for 2 weeks while it gets looked at and almost certainly declared dead anyway - so I got the MBP 09.
Actually, it was a great excuse - I think their current 13.3 models are just about perfect. I really wouldn't change a thing. Well, maybe if they didn't stock the 500 gig option anywhere and after the third store I gave up and broke out the jeweler's screwdriver set. OK, so now it's perfect.

on flickr, from a semi-recent trip to Toronto. It was great seeing my aunt and uncle again after too long. Toronto is a very walkable city and I busted out the little G10 for a bit. The best spot was the Distillery, a recently revamped neighborhood that went from it's forgotten former industry to a new arty, trendy area - very cool.
I also have a few pics of the lovely AGO; definitely a must see when you're in Toronto - modern design and beautiful.
Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 10:25PM I decided to get back into twitter and start tweeting my flickr updates. Well, really I decided to get back into actually having flickr updates, but anyway.. Twitter is overloaded! Maybe it's a sign.
So, back to flickr - a pic or three from Anastasia and Brendan's visit to us (I really am behind) and some around Tokyo.
If you are looking for a great touring bike and you don't want to go the crazy folding bike route like I did, this was my 2nd place choice: the "Long Haul Trucker" from Surly - a small brand from the US with some great looking bikes. I'm a sucker for the CroMoly - you can find them here.

The Atlantis has launched on a mission to update the Hubble. NY Times article is here.
