Crescent Lake Park, St Petersburg, Florida

July 14, 2008 – 11:07 am

I’ve always said: if it ain’t within walking distance of Euclid / St Paul’s neighborhood, my mutt and I can live without it. Okay, I’ve never said that. But I might say that in the future, if I forget my brain tonic.
This is Crescent Lake Park in St Pete, which is within walking distance of [...]

The Upgraded Booker Creek Park, St Petersburg, Florida

July 13, 2008 – 11:42 am

Booker Creek Park, which for all intents and purposes was useless until its 2007 revamp, sits behind (north) of Edward White Hospital, between 9th Ave N and 13th Ave N, just west of the 275 Freeway. Although it lacks mature trees and shade is sparse, it is a fine and underutilized lakeside park with observation [...]

Photos of 1950s St Petersburg Florida

July 12, 2008 – 8:30 am

I love Yahoo Pipes feeds. They can bring you almost anything. This morning I ran across these three pics from among “found” photos which had been labeled by the photographer as being from St Petersburg Florida.  Collector/Publisher  vieilles_annonces claims to be “Simply A Girl From the Midwest of the US of A”, which is, of [...]

Used To Hang With The Mansons, Man… Maybe.

July 10, 2008 – 12:01 pm

Back when I was a very young stinking drug-crazed hippie, I used to pile in a microbus with my buds and head out for the Mojave, behind the San Berdoo mountains, and hike into a very weird high elevation desert hot springs. We called it “Bowen Ranch” or “Deep Creek”.
It was a long trek across [...]

Riding The Express Train To Identi.ca

July 5, 2008 – 11:31 am

Sometimes, fun stuff like this makes getting up on a hot Tampa Bay morning– featuring a tropical-fish-tank atmosphere, giant flying roaches and that more-of-the-same-for-five-more-months dread– worthwhile. This guy name-checks like a pro.
Somehow, I don’t think the train really stops at Identi.ca…

King George’s Offenses

July 4, 2008 – 10:10 am

You know, I really don’t want to be “that guy”, but if you examine the string of offenses allegedly committed by Ol’ King George in the middle of the following obscure document, some of them really have a strikingly contemporary ring. Maybe it’s just me. I’m just saying, is all. What should I [...]

I’m Huge In Italy

July 3, 2008 – 10:02 pm

Inexplicably, I’ve got a three share in Italy. Or something like that. There are no doubt a lot of disappointed Googlers across the pond, but at least they are using Firefox. On Macs.

Recycling Old Computers To Fight Isolation, Ignorance and Poverty

July 2, 2008 – 10:59 am

Image via Wikipedia

When I was back in PDX 2000-2002, I used the wonderful FreeGeek outlet for bits of hardware I lacked. Naively, I assumed that every town had a program that recycled old computers, installed a free operating system (Linux) and put them back into the hands of people who couldn’t afford hardware and proprietary [...]
