Luss is one of a few villages on the edge of Loch Lomond. There is also a Scottish nursery rhyme about a rough bus that goes between Luss & Glasgow. For a bit of a laugh, I made the image above to commemorate the Sunday afternoon drive which led us to Luss.
Birdshot Clippers
Ever since I moved to Scotland, I’ve noticed a Glaswegian affinity for the wee round lighter with the pentagon shaped flint wheel know as the “Clipper.” After a little studying I discovered that diameter of a clipper is spot on with a 12 gauge shotgun shell. Which brings us to the photos above, my 12… Jump to the rest of «12 Gauge Clippers»
After reading a tutorial on how to make 3D photos in last months issue of .net, I decided to have a shot at it. So yesterday I went ‘doon the toon’ to find a subject for my experiment in the 3rd dimension.

First of all, its not technically a rally (there are no time trials and no winner). Its… Jump to the rest of «Tartan Eagles Go North»

The final product
Back in 2007, a Kiwi mate of mine told me about Movember, “the annual, month-long celebration of the mustache, highlighting men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer,” so I thought I’d give it a try. It sounded like a fun excuse not to shave for a month, so I gave it a shot. Then again in… Jump to the rest of «Movember 2009»
Lovely ladies fixin' up some gorditas!
[A copy of a post on my old blog.] “What do you want to order?” “A numero dos. You?” “A numero uno. What’s in a numero dos?” “I don’t know. What’s in a numero uno?” “No idea.” “Sounds good. Let’s do it.”
I read this, my eyes crossed, and I blacked out.
As you may know, I constantly take pictures of signs I think are funny (see Fun Signs in Middle America). Below is a reprint of a post that originally appeared on my old blog. I put it together from photos taken over my two year stay in South Korea. I’ve categorized them as best as… Jump to the rest of «The Best Signs I Ever Saw in Korea»
