nicholasbarone.com is up and running anybody who has some time please check it out and tell me what you think, it is an all flash based site right now that contains an xml photogallery and bio page, i will be updating it with more content as time goes on. I think the menu is uncessarily "weird" in how I wrote it and i will probably be changing the terms back to normal i.e. labyrinth design to web design.

Are those chicken wings in google maps?
yes they are, using the google maps API

So im a loser and i watch rumour sites update during any steve jobs keynote address, well it has happened now Apple will be switching to pentium over the long term, this is avery weird for me because i grew up hating pentium but there processors seem to be a bit faster than IBM or motorolas and as long as apple doesn't infuriate there fanbase now by this move it will probably be the right thing. At least now i wont have to explain why these computers "aren't really that slow" anymore or listen to someone bash Mac's for there speed when it is motorola's processor.

some of apple old ads have a very ironic feel now

Well the photography bug seemed to have bitten me as well, here are some pictures from the garden here at my house. And on another note, the soundtrack to "The Life Aquatic" is amazing.

this is my workplace
