Out of place and out of time, the Maryland Renaissance Festival happens every August through October in Annapolis, MD. I’ve attended the last two years in a row and I have to say – it’s a lot of fun for anyone of any age. Eat a turkey leg like a carnivorous knight, have a beer [...]

30 Seconds of Zen: Swan In Pursuit
August 28th, 2009 · Comments · Travel, Vlog
Another 30 seconds of zen (or slightly more) vid from the archives. This was Boston, July 2008. My money was on the little guy, that I lovingly named Steve McQueen. Go ducky, GO!! (UPDATE and NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that at the time I had in fact said that my money [...]
From The Archives: Stribling Orchard

Allow me to set the stage. It’s October 2008. The air is crisp and cool. Knit caps? Necessary. Apples were abundant and pumpkins needed picking. A trip to Stribling Orchard was in demand. Again – I recommend – if you’re in DC and tired of concrete make one of these trips out of the city. [...]

The Littlest Giant: Videoblogging Week 2009 Day 1
April 7th, 2009 · Comments · Life, Sports, Travel, Vlog
Whilst in North Carolina this weekend my six year old cousin donned his favorite football uniform in honor of the mighty Tar Heels and related to me a recap of one of his favorite films, “The Little Giants”. Upon the completion of said recap, he broke down into one of his “world famous” victory dances. [...]

Kid Sister @ Speakeasy: SXSW 2009
March 23rd, 2009 · Comments · Music, SXSW, Travel
@FierceKitty plucked Jonny Goldstein and I from our hotel room to escort her to the Speakeasy for a show featuring Datarock and Kid Sister. I didn’t know what to expect as I hadn’t heard either, but Kid Sister blew the top off the place. A breif interlude of Jump Around (it was Saint Patty’s Day) [...]

New London, CT
July 5th, 2008 · Comments · Travel, Vlog
Taking off from New London, CT. I love these old port towns with their ferries and freighters, tug boats and trawlers. Once whalers were made in these towns, tall wooden whaling ships. Now container cranes wait for their cargo in the stillness of morning. Families challenge the chill, fishing on the beach wearing Boston jerseys [...]

The Long Ride Home
July 5th, 2008 · Comments · Misc. Links, Travel, Vlog
And so our trip is in its final hours as we have begun our journey home. It is overcast and chilly, a nice break from the humidity of days prior. Everything looks very green from the windows of the train, a layer of fog laying over the backdrop of hills. We cut the mist as [...]
