I've been working on the railroad...

Actually, I've been working on the website all of the live long day, and I've added lots of features. I put in an RSS feed of China news, a clock displaying China local time (they eschew timezones and daylight savings time...the whole country runs on CCT (China Central Time)), and a weather report for Beijing, so you can see if I'm freezing or not.

I opened a facebook account; you can visit it here.

Their photo upload is very slick, and in fact the whole website is very nice. I like it. However, I will be posting most of my photos here, especially if they are pretty (worthy of being made a background image) or part of a story I'm telling. The rest are going into facebook albums. The advantage is that facebook is a little more private...you have to be my friend on facebook or get a link from me. If I have an album I don't mind the world seeing, I'll put a direct link on this blog.

I'm thinking about adding RSS feeds to my friends' mySpace blogs.

Sorry Sera, but mySpace just makes it too hard for me. I am keeping up with you guys though, via RSS.

It so happens that I live in a very beautiful place:



I have ghosts living in the backyard. Actually, Ian was playing with long exposures at my birthday party, at the suggestion of Mrs. Hollen. This effect is achieved by setting the shutter to 30 seconds, and then shining flashlights on the subjects. Then the subjects run out of the frame.
