DC Blogger Meetup

After a hiatus of several months, I finally made it to a DC blog meetup last night. It was at Pharaoh’s, which is pretty convenient to my house, and it was warm enough to ride my bike. Turnout was slow to start, but we ended up with probably 12 or so folks. Much discussion was had. Also, much drooling over Rob’s new, free cellphone.

Magazine Overload

The mail has been fairly screwed up around these parts recently. These four magazines all came within two days. Must… read… magazines… before… head… explodes…

And now for your Washington Nationals

Craigslist has pulled through again. Anne and I found a lady selling $18 season tickets for just $7.50 each, (Ed. note: no, $18 isn’t that much for a ticket. But it’s more than I would generally pay to see a baseball game) and, by some great force in the cosmos, we were able to pick them up with no problem. At 6:30 at the Eastern Market metro, we picked the tix up from our soccer-mom source’s black Jeep. Half an hour later, we were at RFK watching DC’s new home team trounce the Blue Jays. Oh, and it was my first major-leage game, ever. I have some pix up on Flickr.

My First Panorama

A month or so ago Anne and I went down to Roosevelt Island on one of the first warm days of spring. I decided to try my hand at a panoramic image. After a bunch of searching, I realized Photoshop has a wonderful “Photomerge” tool that’ll do panoramas for you. Here’s my first try: Georgetown and the Potomac from the island. Click the picture for a big version.

Washington, DC Music Stores

Inspired by a post on DCist, I’ve created the definitive guide to Washington, DC music stores.

Local Washington Music

I stumbled across this site while I was wasting time browsing, of all things, the washingtonpost.com job listings.

mp3.washingtonpost.com — Self-publishing by and for the Metro region’s music community. There are tons of local artists listed, and interested parties (Joe?) can upload their work for all to enjoy.
