South African Chocolate Bars
I don’t know why, but candy bars in other countries hold a particular fascination for me. It started in England, where I discovered all sorts of variations not found in the States (and I typically don’t buy much chocolate at home). Magical Cadbury vending machines are found in lots of locations, filled with bars offering ...

South Africa Trip Update and the Black Rhino Story
Black_Rhino Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. I originally intended to write up travelogues as we progressed through this South Africa adventure, but a lack of Internet access and spare time has prevented me. Well, truthfully, there’s been plenty of time. But when the options are to sit and type or take a walk through the ...

Back from the Bush
Africa Sunset Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. The last week has been spent, literally, in the wilds of South Africa. And although cellular access seems to be pretty prevalent, I’ve had no Internet access for over a week. Now we’re back in Pretoria, tired and a little adventured-out briefly. I’ll post more details later, but ...

Arrived in South Africa
Over Africa Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. In a slightly Orwellian flavor, we were woken up this morning by our television at 5 a.m., informing us that it was time to wake up. We thought the call would come at 6 a.m., but that’s when the bus left. So, we boarded the bus, headed to ...

Segovia (not Johannesburg)
Pews, Catedral Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. Every large trip, I’m learning, includes an adventure. Now, you’d think that every trip is an adventure in itself, but that assumes you’ll arrive at your destination – sorry, you’re planned destination – on time. But that’s not really adventure, because you know to a certain degree what ...

Madrid
Spanish Sunrise Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. I’m taking advantage of my last guaranteed Internet access for a while and posting this from our hotel in Madrid. (Click the photo to see the most recent pics from the trip.) Our trip started early on Thursday… actually, Wednesday, because with wrapping up work stuff, packing for ...

Headed WAY Out of Town
Pride of Lion ~ 15 Originally uploaded by Silent Sensei. I don’t post too often to this blog, but things will likely slow down for the next few weeks while we’re visiting family in South Africa. (This photo is from someone else’s Flickr photoset of Londolozi, one location where we’ll be.) I also wanted to ...

Cornered, Bush Snaps Back
Bush <a title="Bush Forcefully Attacks Critics of His Strategy in Iraq – New York Times” href=”http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/11/international/middleeast/11cnd-bush.html?ei=5094&en=80f33f18ca70c64d&hp=&ex=1131771600&partner=homepage&pagewanted=print”>gave a speech today showing that he’s resorting to the only tactic he seems able to wield: when faced with facts, attack someone. In this case, he’s refuting critics’ (Democrats’) claims that he and his administration misled the country into ...

Add Photos and Transitions without Killing Audio
Chuck writes: I want to insert a photo into my video clip and maintain the original audio. Everything works fine until I add transitions at either end of the photo which results in the loss of synchronization between the audio and video. Is this possible to achieve in iMovie HD or am I barking up ...

Bush: “We do not torture.”
I almost choked on my breakfast when I saw this article at CNN: Bush defends detainees policy. And my first reaction was, “He actually SAID that?” “There’s an enemy that lurks and plots and plans and wants to hurt America again,” Bush said. “So you bet we will aggressively pursue them but we will do ...
