Here's a selection from Point Reyes, which is just north of San Francisco. Two different trips represented here, photos shot on either Hasselblad 500 C/M or Canon AE-1 Program. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/779/23602620045_1c8cd1e723_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/634/23084730883_f72a3fd9c1_c.j...

Taking a shirt in is relatively inexpensive (anywhere between $10-$30 I'd expect, depending on location), jackets obviously more so.

Vests are definitely a hard piece of clothing, because it's very easy to make them look not so good. Pairing them with matching pants is usually the safest option for a good harmonious look. For a summer wedding, I might go with the lighter colors, but that also depends on the time of day of the cer...

So, I recently flew back to the States from the Netherlands and because of some choppy air we got pushed a bit north and ended up flying over the Southern bit of Greenland and got treated to some absolutely incredible views. I didn't see a single road or structure, just mountains, snow, ice, and des...

Student debt. Merry Christmas, indeed!

No need to post here every time you update your comic. If people are interested, they'll click through.

You have a lot of variety in your daily wear, Jacque. If I did that you would see a lot of black. Three or so years ago and this portrait would have been very dark in the clothing area for the same reasons, but now, I can't wear black very often because we have a golden retriever who sheds constant...

Following up on a post from last year: Working on a project where I have to take a picture of myself every day. I'm about six weeks in; looking at a January 2013 completion date. Here's a few of the days: http://alexjacque.com/images/web/me24.jpg Finished the project last month, well, the fi...

Time to chill out on posting in this thread without new responses. Additionally, see forum rule #7: don't double post. If someone is going to reply, they will.

As my Father has always said, "When in doubt, don't put modding experience on your résumé."

1. Take an Aleve.
2. A rigorous game of tug seems to tire our golden out. Additionally, you could always slip the dog some melatonin or benadryl.

I'm combining these posts into one topic because we don't need a separate topic for each of your short stories/chapters/wirtings.

One of the best parts of growing a beard – aside from being awesome – is that when you decide to shave, you get to do novelty facial hair:

Again, the photos from India are amazing. Was it a pain to transport the film? Yeah. First problem is the language barrier, hard to explain that it's film and shouldn't be x-rayed. Once or twice is usually fine – I had some fast film (ISO 3200) that shouldn't be x-rayed at all – but x-raying has a ...

With those recent trips and what was left in my "to publish queue" (quite a few from India) I should be pretty set with new work to post to the internet for the next coming months. -Again, the photos from India are amazing. Was it a pain to transport the film? Yeah. First problem is the l...

What manner of glove is this? Boxing? Leather? Rubber? Golf? Driving? Sequened? Baseball? Motocross? Generic snow glove? Mitten?

it doesn't explain anything about the algorithm at all That's the secret sauce. You don't get that recipe out of a cookbook. As an aside, I don't think that something like LinkedIn is handled by SQL. It's a Big Data problem so they're probably using something more advanced. NoSQL and Hadoop (plus a...

Well, normally a link might help. But, since this is your first post you won't be able to actually post a link until your 5th post as per the forums rules.

There's always loans and community college to make entry to education a bit less monetarily intensive. Finding employment w/o a college degree is considerably tougher, and the unemployment rate among those with no college degree is like double than the rate among those with a college degree. There's...

Even if you get great coordinates to where this bike gets taken to if stolen (and there's no guarantee that it will get stolen, or stolen by the same guy), the cops are likely to do nothing about it likely even if the value of the bike is great enough to warrant felony theft. Thousands of bikes are ...

I's say that the lesser of the problems involved in this situation deal with a scientific specimen and more with the preservation alcohol.

When in doubt, FedEx (not in a jar of alcohol obviously, but wrapped in alcohol-soaked cheesecloth and sealed in a bag).

I can get through a shave with my safety razor as quick if not quicker than with my cartridge razor. Generally with the cartridge razor it clogs up after a few strokes and needs to be rinsed, whereas the safety razor can do half of my face w/o a rinse. And when I do have to rinse it, it's just a qui...

Spoiler:

FaiD cross-post, but applicable nonetheless.

I'm a fan of both types of ties. Though, each has it's own proper time to shine. Unfortunately I don't have many reasons to wear a tie in my line of work but I enjoy wearing one when an opportunity comes around. And personally I'm preferable to the 4-in-hand knot for the little bit of added personal...

Appearing like a specter out of the dark, and disappearing as he came.

Have you recently thinned the underbrush?

Is that even a thing? You can't wear pinstripes to a wedding? It's not. At all. I'm not saying you can't, but... Show up at a wedding in bold stripes and you run the risk of looking like a banker or someone who works on wall street or this asshole (now that's a power suit). Generally, the more fine...

I disagree with the author's statement (emphasis mine): Your first suit should be either navy blue or gray, possibly with a light chalk stripe (like a pinstripe, but softer) , and in an all-season, medium weight Your first suit should be as versatile as possible, since duh, you only have one. And on...

I don't close the door to pee when just my wife is around. Of course, if she was a regular roommate the door would definitely be closed.

Wut? Verifying access? Who's using Javascript to open new pages in the same window? I don't think we're talking about the same things, or work today has got me burned out more than usual or something...

I prefer that a Web site obey standards, and I prefer that it be perfectly usable in a text browser. It is due to Web sites that violate these rules that I am forced against my will to use a bloated GUI Web browser such as Firefox.

Yosemite National Park is a little far from Kansas to really consider for this trip but is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Hiking was great. Views, spectacular.

I think they'd work out just fine. Hell, I've worn this + these a few times, and honestly it looks just fine, like plain brown dress shoes unless you pull the pant up a bit, and they "hey, those are boots!"
