Julia and I went to Grand Old Day on Sunday, 7 June 2009, with my brother and his girlfriend. Julia conveniently lives two blocks from Grand so it’s an easy place to get to. I took my camera and snapped a few shots here. Samples after the jump…

Pictures of the kitties
I’ve put up new pictures of Julia’s cats here. Samples below the jump…
Computer/Photo Utility: GeoSetter
This piece of software is a two-fer: it’s a computer utility for photographers! Most people these days know that you can “geotag” pictures; that is, add the precise location of where a picture is taken to its EXIF metadata, allowing you to see it on maps, Google Earth, etc. Unfortunately, unless you have a very… Continue reading Computer/Photo Utility: GeoSetter
Where the money goes
So Governor Pawlenty is going to have to cut the budget himself to balance it. The question is how? He’s asked for public input at budgetideas@state.mn.us, and a lot of people have been sending him suggestions. We have little idea what those suggestions are because they haven’t been released in their entirety, but the ones… Continue reading Where the money goes
Саша the kitten
Julia and I picked up Саша (Sasha) the kitten yesterday. Here is the link to the gallery. She is very playful and energetic, and is pretty fearless.

This free utility allows you to set up multiple syncing rules between different drives and network locations, such as full two-way synchronization, pushing data… Continue reading Computer Utility: SyncBack Freeware
Two Graphs
Well, three actually, but two concepts: Price of Government and Tax Incidence. They are pretty important in understanding Minnesota’s budget and tax issues.
Computer Utility: Firebug
Firebug isn’t a computer utility per se; it’s an add-on to the Firefox browser. If you do any web development work, such as working with CSS and JavaScript, Firebug is indispensible. I’m a CSS noob, and it is incredibly useful for seeing how CSS works, especially fun things like inheritance. Of course, it goes without… Continue reading Computer Utility: Firebug
