Random lamppost designs in AM. Another was of a high-heeled shoe. No idea.

I'm sick. Walking in the rain last night caught up to me quick.

I think this is a Cherry Blossom tree in bloom, but I've been fooled before.

A collection of beer caps that have accumulated on my fridge top. I should take this opportunity to express my love for Harpoon's Leviathan Imperial IPA. Unlike their regular IPA, this one rocks.

I spent most of today working on a seemingly simple project. I wanted to develop a microsite that would take a visitor's IP-based location and tell them if it is raining outside.

The practical application of this is a bit limited since IP-based location is inexact and most people can look outside their window. However, it was a good chance for me to refresh my technical skills a bit - I had to brush up on jQuery and PHP. I was also able to try out the NetBeans IDE for code development.

After a few roadblocks, I was finally able to get it working in my personal sandbox. I have the domain isitrainingnow.com, but it won't be available there immediately because I mistakenly tried out the free domain registration offer from Microsoft Office Live and their hosting permissions are draconian.

So, in lieu of a photo from the beautiful day outside in D.C. today, you get a screenshot of what I was staring at most of the day.

Proof of concept is up here:

Trying to use the selective desaturation technique of highlighting strong colors in a photo. I think I could have chosen a better subject photo.
