I’m moving.
I have started to blog on the funk box, which is my Tumblr blog. It’s actually almost identical to what I do here (share interesting links I fond and photos I take) but the Tumblr interface is very slick and makes what I do that much easier, which means more fun time wasting links and [...]

A snowstorm for you.
This awesome video of a snowy day in Boston almost makes me wish for some snow here in the DC area.
