Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Refuge threatened

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

One of my very favorite places in all of Los Angeles is the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Refuge. It’s just a beautiful example of how to create a community park and an oasis for wildlife, right in the middle of a city.

They’re talking about building a freeway connector, to help ease traffic at the 101/405 interchage.

They’re talking about building the freeway connector through Sepulveda Basin.

Of course, they might not. It’s just one of five options.

But what I can’t get my head around is this: they MIGHT.

If you’ve never been, now’s probably a good time.

Here’s the rest of the story.

Just posted Making Textured Text in Photoshop. Simple, fun and pretty.

New Picasa

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

The new Picasa is out, and it’s got some goodies: geotagging, better RAW support, and folder hierarchy too. Plus Picasa Web Albums.

Congratulations, guys - now go home and get some rest!

happy birthday, me!

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

Yeah, June 6 is pretty much the best possible birthday to have.

They’ve even had a whole birthday publicity campaign, around it, here in LA!

I heard there were ladies due on this date who were trying to get c-sections, just so they could have their babies TODAY.

Even the Fed is getting in on the celebration.

And if you are about as old as I am, you should enjoy this, very much. Keeping it relevant, maybe there is even some Slayer, in there. Of course, why would you need Slayer, when you could watch Murray Head?

Or, you know, that other guy, what’s his name? Ze Frank?

mMMMMmmmm
