have you seen this bike?

Coolest bike I’ve seen out somewhere in a while. All campy record, looked all original. I was, in my jealousy, tempted to clip that lock. But there’d be no joy in that, so I took a picture. If you’re the owner of this bike: we should ride some time, you’re probably pretty cool. <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/have_you_seen_this_bike?/706/0007.jpg” /> </div>

Meet Ronan

Ronan is KJ’s new baby, about a week and a half old at this point. She’s already picking up her head and rolling over, which means nothing to me, but apparently means she’s very strong for a newborn. Congratulations to KJ and Thorne! <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/meet_ronan/707/0004.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/meet_ronan/707/0005.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/meet_ronan/707/0006.jpg” /> </div>

Today is Thursday

And two days ago was my first thunder game. Have I mentioned, lately, how awesome my girlfriend is? Because she got us corporate box seats. Easily the swankiest way to see a basketball game– that ish was catered from the start and at halftime there was a desert cart that came by. I didn’t take the long lens, so no great pictures of anything, but it was a great game, right up till the last minute where we lost. Refs were blind, we shoulda gotten foul shots in those final seconds. Unrelated: I saw a pretty car that day, too. <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/today_is_thursday/708/0001.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/today_is_thursday/708/0002.jpg” /> </div>

quick thought...

Just a quick thought while I’m working– I’m sitting here and I realize that my phone has more ram and processing power than the web server that runs this site. How much longer before my phone could run my entire web presence without it being noticeable? and how long before the “mobile web” is the only web consumers like you and me use? There is a need for big iron (big server farms, lots of data processing capacity), but most of that stuff that I use could be distributed. I think it’s not going to be long before I can buy an app that makes me the center of my social media (as opposed to some external company), and when I want to turn it off or hide those embarrassing photos I posted, I can. <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOEMv0S8AcA”>Freedom in the cloud</a>, anyone? <div class=”center”> </div>

This cloud thing is really getting out of hand

Maybe not in a bad way? It seems like even when I’m taking pictures of people, I’m really looking at the far background. In other news, I may have another kidney infection. Since the last one landed me in a hospital in Egypt for three days, I’m being pretty cautious about this one, going to the doc this afternoon, pushing fluids (including that perennial favorite, cranberry juice). <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/this_cloud_thing_is_really_getting_out_of_hand/710/0001.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/this_cloud_thing_is_really_getting_out_of_hand/710/0002.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/this_cloud_thing_is_really_getting_out_of_hand/710/0003.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/this_cloud_thing_is_really_getting_out_of_hand/710/0004.jpg” /> </div>
