BLOGOPHILE
cbsnews.com has a section devoted to the world of the blog; BLOGOGPHILE
it makes me feel so dirty
I know I have a problem
I know I am a blog addict
but
I never knew I was a BLOGOPHILE!

kermit strikes a pose before making his next run

well
although I did not get the shot...
I think I am starting to get a better handle on this camera
yes.... tar again
showing me his skills as he launches this set of stairs
lots of air especially for a fixed gear

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHOTO SUBJECTS.... TAR
THE FUNNY THING
TAR IS BETWEEN INTERNET CONNECTIONS
AS OF YET HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANY OF THE PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN OF HIM
(OR OF ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER)
((WAS PLEASED TO RUN INTO REED TODAY... HE GOOGLED HIMSELF AND FOUND THE IMAGES))

an open house at the THE BREWMASTER'S CASTLE

Countdown to save a little piece of historic Washington please come to two events:
5:30 p.m. -- (DC/PRESERVATION) EVENT -- Heurich House
holds a media availability and a final fund-raising drive to
save "The Brewmaster's Castle," from being sold and possibly
developed. Gary Heurich gives a tour and details the progress
of efforts to save this National Register of Historic Places
landmark, touted as "the most intact late-Victorian home in the
United States." Curators, philanthropists and members of the
media are invited to attend. The mansion was built of poured
concrete and reinforced steel in 1892-1894 by German immigrant
and local brewer Christian Heurich, at the beginning of Dupont
Circle's golden era as the city's premier neighborhood.
Nicknamed "The Brewmaster's Castle" while Heurich lived there,
it was also the city's first fireproof home. To ensure its
safety, none of the 13 fireplaces were ever used and the top of
the tower features a salamander, a creature which in mythology
guards against fire. The home is noted for incorporating the
most modern technology of the day -- including full indoor
plumbing, circulating hot water heat, central vacuum system,
venting skylight, elevator, and gasoliers.

Location: Heurich House at Dupont Circle, 1307 New Hampshire Ave. NW

Please come on out to save America's most-intact late-Victorian house museum and to enjoy some DCist fun, history-style. Heurich House has long been considered one of Washington's best kept secrets; we're hoping to get the word out so that it remains in the public trust for visitors to enjoy time and time again.

is this real?
a great set of photos

makes me want to know the whole story
makes me want to see next chapter
looks like a cat fight

meow.


stole that link with the urban hello from blue colar bikes


cbs has a new show
looks like a car commercial
or maybe rock video
a sequel to mission impossible
some magical deoderant campaign selling that this scent will make me cool and get me laid
the courier
I only saw the trailer
maybe the actual series is shot and edited differently
but, I doubt it as the trailer was pretty cool
was too busy stuffing my face to be bothered to get away from monster garage on discovery
well... this episode is falling flat and the computer is occupying my mind

like cotton candy for your brain

the 24 hours of sunlight is not the only party february 11th
here in dc there is the waba silent auction/waba gala
will post the graphic with info later

the 24hours of sunlight does look like a party and I like their graphics


this looks cool
granny gear has their hand in this thing
24 hours of sunlight
everything sounds awesome except for the "just for fun" anti-race concept

let it be a race
let the racing and the competition be part of the fun
and there will be people out just to finish
while there will be others stoked about their own personal best
there is no need to have a class that qualifies that
it is already part of life

anyway
this is the first year
bet it has the potential to be pretty awesome
then again
I am always trying to get a spin on that great 24 hour thing
after all... we already have the lights
thus far...
no takers on my 24 Hours of Croquet
