It’s been a long journey on my site/blog, but I’ve reached for 400th post. I’ve come a long way since my first post, got into writing music reviews for DOA for a short stint, and eventually just started posting pictures and videos of my trips.

I saw the new Indiana Jones last night, and it stuck to the classic Indiana Jones formula, with some pretty cartoonish moments thrown in. Let’s just say Shia LaBeouf can really get up to speed on those vines. All in all entertaining.

I’ll leave you with Weezer’s new video for their single “Pork and Beans”.

I’ve never seen something like this before. Watch the video of the zoetrope below…at first it looks like it’s just a bunch of Toy Story figurines spinning, but then add some strategically timed lights and they come to life. I think my brain just exploded…and I might have to see this in person.

Please take a minute to re-introduce yourself to the sidebar. I’ve pared down a lot of the “me elsewhere” links, and have quietly added in drop downs for the categories and archives. For the very observational folk, you’ve already noticed that the one major addition is also to the “me elsewhere” section where I’ve added my new photo blog. WordPress.com just released a new theme that adapts itself to the color makeup of the picture. This makes it look like the theme is customized for each picture. Here’s a little preview:

I’ve backlogged a few of my favorites, but will be sifting through my Flickr photostream for some old pics and throwing those in there a few times a week as well. To navigate, you just click on the right side of the picture to move backward and the left side to go forward through the photo posts. Head on over and check it out. Let me know what you think here, or leave a comment there. I’ve queued up three pictures per week for the next couple months, so visit often. Sorry, you’ll have to follow two sites now [jeffphoto.wordpress.com]

I went to my first Nationals game in the new stadium this weekend and I loved it. I liked the convenience of RFK being on the Orange line, but the amenities and architecture of the new stadium more than made up for it. The first thing you notice when you walk in, is that the stadium has a very open feel. When you’re walking around the concourse, you generally have a good view of the field. There are a ton of places to get food and some randomly placed bars around the stadium to hang out and grab drinks. There was a bit of a hiccup with the lighting though, and the game had a 15-20 minute delay at the top of the 4th inning. All in all, I was very impressed with the Nat’s new stadium, and I can’t wait to go to a ton more games this summer and get some Ben’s Chili Bowl. Time to invest in some Nat’s gear.
