This is a handlebar moustache


Posted by 13roots on November 18, 2012

I had to do an image search when this type of moustache was described in Cowboys and Aliens, the book I'm currently reading. I'm now curious about the names of other types of moustaches :)

Handlebar Moustache Club photography by Rokas Darulis. Portraits at its best. I like the shot with the guy that has the poor boy hat on the most.

Ghosts of War – France


Posted by 13roots on October 20, 2012

Photo montage shows Europe's past blending with present
Europe's war-torn past is never all that far from the present. This becomes eerily clear in "Ghosts of History," a series of haunting photographs that overlay images from France during World War II with present-day pictures of the same locations.

Three calls to Rogers finally pointed to a problem with my APN settings.

I've finally given up on my 15 month old BlackBerry Bold 9900 and gone back to my Nexus S. BB roped me in with its new OS and redesigned hardware and I even bought a PlayBook… though it's now somewhere under my bed. The phone is just so sluggish and freezes all the time now, and the lack of apps is just sad. I just wanted Skype, Audible, Kindle and a sprinkling of productivity apps on the Bold, and Netflix and Audible on the PlayBook. No dice. The battery life on the phone is finally beyond pitiful, and I don't talk on it that much and the browsing experience is sad. So between email and talk, I have to recharge it by mid-day. No no no. That does not work for us. So I've thrown in the towel. I'll miss the keyboard, but not much else.

Hello again Android! I missed you. I'm sorry I left you. I won't do it again.

A few years ago I stumbled upon this article and subsequently the accompanying videos. It was the beginning of my journey to bring into my conscious experience and knowledge, an understanding of where my strengths and weaknesses were and how that applied in my career choices. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for similar knowledge about themselves.

3 hours after what was suppose to be a smooth upgrade from 802.11g to 802.11n, I've figured out why my new Asus router won't handle port forwarding like its older Linksys predecessor both with dd-wrt.

A loopback NAT bug in the newer build I was using meant all my tests from within the local network appeared to not be working. Finally a clue on this forum had me reaching for my 3G connected phone, which essentially showed there was no problem… at least not from the outside where it matters most. What a pain!!
