My Favorite Airport
October 27, 2009 by
I'm at Melbourne International Airport (MLB)... the one in Florida, not the one in Australia! And I've been killing a couple of hours with a rain delay. The weather is fine here, but nasty back home in Atlanta. This is my new favorite airport. Take a look at the booths in the airport restaurant: Ample space to spread out, easily … [Read more...]

Eclair at Clary's in Savannah. The dollar bill is there for scale. This thing is huge! (And delicious.) … [Read more...]
Boingo at Hartsfield
September 16, 2009 by
This is too long to tweet... At Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Boingo contracts with the airport for Wi-Fi carriage. That means they don't control their own infrastructure. I run JungleDisk on my Mac, which continually backs up selected directories to Amazon S3. I highly recommend their service. But, if it detects an Internet … [Read more...]

If you're going to Australia just to take photographs, buy a DSLR and all the lenses/accessories your chiropractor will let you carry. If you're taking your family, buy something like my Canon A720is, and focus on the experience, not the … [Read more...]

I've always loved Dahlonega. Here's a quick snapshot of the town square illuminated for the holidays. (Taken from the sidewalk in front of the Crimson Moon, where an awesomely pregnant Jennifer Daniels performed a great set of her favorites as well as some new songs from her upcoming album...) … [Read more...]
Chattahoochee National Forest
November 9, 2008 by
This morning, we joined the Atlanta MINI Club for a fun run through the North Georgia mountains. This is the route we took, and it was gorgeous! We were probably a week late for the foliage peak, but it didn't matter. Sunny day, brisk temperatures (especially with the convertible top down!), good company with 30+ other MINIs. Any of you who … [Read more...]
Serenbe
November 3, 2008 by
Spent a gorgeous fall day driving, eating, hiking, and shopping at Serenbe.I had planned to come home and write a blog post about it, but it turns out Angus beat me to the punch months ago: http://blog.angusmcrae.com/?p=43.Not a place I'd choose to live (I'm a city boy), but it's nice to know it's available, only forty minutes from my driveway.More … [Read more...]
Georgia’s High Tech Corridor
October 29, 2008 by
Highway sign outside of Jesup, Georgia. That's not "Georgia's High Tech Corridor"... Georgia's high tech corridor is on the third floor of the Centergy building in Tech Square. :-) … [Read more...]
Sand Hill, Georgia
October 22, 2008 by
California is proud of Sand Hill Road. Well, we have a Sand Hill in Georgia, too! And ours is even BETTER. On the West Coast, all you can get is venture capital money. But at the Sand Hill Grocery and Gameroom, you can play pinball, then buy live bait and ammo! :-) … [Read more...]
