I heard that 32 Million people would travel in the United States over the holiday weekend.  You can see a photo of all of them above, jamming up I-4 and keeping me from getting to my house on Saturday afternoon.  It was a dead stop with cops and fire trucks and stupid people trying to slip around them when it was pretty clear they wanted us all to stop.  My...

I have to admit that this one caught me off guard.  For the life of me, I can’t fathom it.  Why the hell would Sting play in a Sanford park?  According to the web site iLike.com, Sting will play  in Sanford’s Ft. Mellon Park on Tuesday, October 5th at 8:00 pm.  Check the link below if you’re interested in...

My first reaction wasn’t positive.  I wondered why...

There are plenty of staff photographers around to capture moments at some of those photo...

Jeff Revell, of the Photowalk Pro blog, is holding a photowalk around Lake Eola and downtown this Tuesday evening.  Why?  He’s in town for the Photoshop World convention and photowalking is kind of his thing.  I joined him on one of these little adventures two years ago, the last time Photoshop World was held in town. You don’t need to attend the...

I used to think of Bike Week as the Happiest Time of the Year.  After my trip over to Daytona today, it seems more like the Biggest Disappointment of the Year. The people who are going there are doing their best to totally fuck up Bike Week. In an effort to save Bike Week from itself, I’ve decided that it’s time someone pointed out its deficiencies...

T-Bone Funk vs. Eddie from William Beem on Vimeo. Forest Gump was right. Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get.  I was out today exploring Seminole Harley-Davidson for Bike Week activities and I ran across a wrestling match.  I’m not sure what the correlation is between bikers and wrestlers, except that bikers...
