Catherine and I have been having a glorious time of it this weekend, relaxing and reading and picnicking and generally enjoying life. We took a stroll around Fabyan Park the other day and I caught a dragonfly chillin' out on a fencepost...

Other fun bits captured over the course of the weekend:

While skimming over the discussion forums at Drupal.org, I stumbled across a message by a new user about some problems uninstalling modules. It turned out the problems were related to my own baby, VotingAPI, and I stuck around to help the guy through some of the configuration hassles.

As it turns out, he's a photographer with a great set of images on flickr, and a photoblog with some impressive do-it-yourself projects like a homemade light ring and a quick-n'-dirty lightbox. Yesterday evening, I put together the lightbox and tried my hand at some photos with it. Awesome! With just $10 in white foamcore and a few reflector lights from Home Depot, I've got a super-bright space for taking macro shots.

My machine at home is currently busy uploading something like 450 megs of JPEG goodness. Once it's all done, my stuff should be viewable on my Flickr homepage.

The photos, you see, they are posted. At least, some of them. Not much in the way of description or annotation, but the assorted wedding and honeymoon pics are at jeffandcathereinegetmarried.com for your edification and amusement. Whee!
