View from my kitchen window
We just moved house last week, and this is our new back garden.
It’s a little overgrown right now, but to be honest, I quite like it like this — as do the cats…
Saturated on Sorrell Hill
The view from Sorrell Hill, Co. Wicklow, facing north.
Looks lovely, doesn’t it! Well, here’s the view in the opposite direction. ;) We got a great reminder of the mercurial nature of an Irish April. This panorama captures the whole story.

[thx] HAM
I was just emailing with Sarah Carey, and she correctly noted that my weblog has been tending towards the techie-incomprehensible recently. A brief look at the front page confirms this.
So here’s a remedy: a photo of the delicious ham which the lovely C cooked up for Thanksgiving, last Thursday. Just look at that, mmmmm!
When I get back to Ireland, I will be bringing Thanksgiving with me; a holiday based around eating cooked fowl, with no religious baggage whatsoever? I’m so there.
Photo Update
Photoblog! We recently ticked off another of California’s national parks with a trip to Joshua Tree, and saw this:
Scary desert people. Also, I got to be in a fractal:
Beardy progress continues, as you can see!
In other pics, Catherine cooked me an amazing birthday cake:
Also: I ate the most sacrilicious food ever — mochi that tastes like green-tea-filled Eucharist wafer!
Ah, the blessed sacrament of the (green tea) body and (red bean) blood. The textural resemblance really was phenomenal; I guess it never came up in product taste tests. Quite funny. Very tasty too, by the way.
Snippets
Photos: the view out to sea from Seal Beach, just south of LA. (duh. thanks Ben, I’d b0rked the link earlier.)
Patents: via the FFII Kwiki, here’s 2087 Microsoft USPTO software patents viewed roughly by subject matter. The ‘Web’ selection is particularly interesting.
Terror: The Atlantic: All you need is love — how the terrorists stopped terrorism. Amazing — marry them off!
Tourism: Pictures from Bangkok’s new ‘Sky Bar’ — open-air dining, 63 floors up, with no walls apart from 1.5-metre-high glass.
