Arcana in the Information Age: Acadia

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2012/05/acadia-is-beautiful.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Acadia is beautiful. It's a bit like northern Arizona (I'm thinking of the O RO Ranch, primarily) with a bit more green and mashed with the ocean. Tracy describes it as Arizona crossed with Alaska. The whole "Mount Desert Island" name is terribly misleading — it's about as far from a desert island as I can imagine. The following morning was cloudy, which was a surprise and a disappointment. The forec...

Arcana in the Information Age: June 2010

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Monday, June 28, 2010. Got an iPhone 4 last week - wonderful device. The antenna problem referenced around on the 'Net is real, which is a shame; I expect Apple will recall to fix it. Nevertheless, it's truly worth seeing if you've not seen it yet. These are with no post-processing at all. The brightest part of the rainbow blew out in orange and red, which was a pity, but still, the lighter bits came out well. I'm a professional...

Arcana in the Information Age: October 2008

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Today, I joined the 21st century and created a profile. On a social networking site ( LinkedIn. I've resisted for a number of years, but the thought that I might be able to recruit through LinkedIn was enough motivation. Monday, October 27, 2008. I was just coding up something Eclipse for work and decided I wanted to pop a dialog to ask the user "Do you want to save? Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Last ...

Arcana in the Information Age: August 2010

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Thursday, August 12, 2010. On Tuesday, the weather that had improved on Monday held, and we were able to ride up to the top of Jane's Butte. Jane's Butte dominates the view to the northwest of Homestead on the ranch and, for that reason, is iconic for those of us who have been to the O RO as guests. Riding to the top is one of my favorite rides and one I've done each of the three times I've been out on the ranch. On Tuesday afte...

Arcana in the Information Age: Acadia — Small Things Considered

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2012/05/acadia-small-things-considered.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Acadia — Small Things Considered. The previous Acadia post focused on what we did and the large sights we saw. This one focuses on the smaller things we saw. The amount of seaweed covering the rocks was unlike anything I've seen anywhere else. You can get a sense of it in the panorama from Sand Beach and in this photo Tracy shot of the waves crashing against the rocks. I've seen tidal pools at Litchfield...

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Tuesday, October 6, 2009. We took a short honeymoon to D.C. after our wedding to see Cavalia. And to get out of the house for a short while. My goal with this picture was to use the ND filter to turn the sprinklers to mist. It didn't work (they're too regular) but it did remove the people walking around outside the Capitol. Another photo with the ND, both to remove the people and to smooth out the surface of the duck pond. I'm a...

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Monday, July 14, 2008. The iPhone 3G: A Lesson in Frustration. Which is my thought exactly. I mean, really? Dropping the price $200 and adding a slew of new features, combined with Apple's typical hype of any new product, and they didn't expect mad demand? And wouldn't it have been nice to say "We sold over 2 million iPhones! Or "We sold over 3 million iPhones! And no one's bothered to make that clear, anywhere. Well, I supp...

Arcana in the Information Age: March 2009

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Check this out: a picture of my ceiling as reflected in the eye of a baby. Birds and Glass Doors. Birds and Glass Doors don't get along very well. In fact, despite all the complaints you hear about windmills eating birds, more birds die annually from collisions with glass patio doors than they do from encounters with windmills (try this Google search.

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Monday, May 26, 2008. Just really busy. But here are some recent photos I've taken. This one is of Tracy's Jefferson Cup. It's silver plated - and was really tarnished when I took this picture. She's since polished it and it looks, well, like it ought. But much less interesting. This is of a bird I found in my house when I came home one day. A bit alarming, to open the door and hear something tapping on the inside. I'm a profess...

Arcana in the Information Age: February 2010

http://it-arcana.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Arcana in the Information Age. Perhaps the least-applicable name for a blog. Sunday, February 7, 2010. We took a walk this morning, after finishing clearing in front of the car (we'd kept up with the snowfall, so that wasn't too bad, except for when the plow came by). The cherries by the dance studio on Commonwealth Rd looked about like they do when in bloom:. Here they are in a panorama with some more of Commonwealth Rd; Westfield Rd is in the center of the image:. David, of course, had to get her back:.
