Opening Day 2010

This year I was lucky enough to have tickets to Opening Day at Fenway Park, and it was amazing! With Pedro throwing out the first pitch, Steven Tyler signing “God Bless America” and of course Neil Diamond signing “Sweet Caroline” oh and I’m pretty sure that the Red Sox beat the Yankees too. Up top is my favorite picture that I worked for a couple hours on. Its the first pitch of 2010 and it took about 6 different pictures to get the right form I wanted. I think Im still going to go in and touch of some areas again. All the pictures I took of the game are below.

Theres Hope for the world

A couple of months before I moved into my apartment there was a women who was struck and killed by a drunk driver out side of my apartment and a couple of months before that there was another biker who was killed in almost the same place. As a memorial the families of the victims have left their damaged bikes next to two light posts by the intersections. With the recent snow and the city plowing the snow onto the corner of the sidewalks the bikes had been knocked down. Now here it is 3:10 AM and for some reason I looked out my window that faces the intersection, and you know what I saw? A man or women had pulled over on the opposite side of the road and crossed the road and picked up the bicycles and leaned them up against the poles like they had originally been. Now the bicycles weren’t laying in the road or across the sidewalk just laying down next to the poles, not obstructing anything. I don’t know if they knew the victims or what but I thought that it was a very nice gesture of this person to do that. And it restores faith that there is hope in the world.

First Run of the year!!

(The Approximate route we ran)

Today it was about 50 degrees out, warm for January so Jenn and I decided to go for the first run of the year. We ended up going about 6.15 miles according to the path I mapped out using Google Earth. It was a nice little “run” there were plenty of people out running along with us. The only problem was around the end of the run it was getting windy and the wind made it really really cold on us. When I’ll be able to run next, I have no idea. But it was good to go out and exercise today. Click on the picture above to see a bigger version. (pretty sad I just figured that out today huh?)

Google Street View Boston


Yawkey Way (Summer Time Grille)
(Boston, MA)

Today Google Street View Boston is released and after playing around with it its not just Boston. It includes many areas outside of Boston and even reaches Worcester and little ol’ West Boylston. I’ve collected a couple of images that I thought were interesting and places of note. Hit the jump to see the rest of the places.


Many people have noted that these could be a privacy concern but I don’t think there really is a concern for me, anyways who wants to stalk me? Anyways who actually reads this that doesn’t know me? (To see a bigger image right click on the picture and click View Image, this might only work in Firefox, but you should be using it anyways)
