I was in San Francisco a few weeks ago. +Gina Smith and I agreed on my idea that the site should be “smart and beautiful.” Now it is! Congratulations to the team at aNewDomain.net!

The above is my picture of the day for July 4, 2012. Here’s an excerpt of the long explanation of this Alcatraz pic — read more at my site.

Acatraz at Sunset — and the funny thing about Comic Sans

I saw that the CERN made the Higgs announcement and its infographic used Comic Sans, of all things. Geeky people got a real kick out of this but I wanted to remind them of this poignant article written by the Comic Sans font himself.

I was over on Treasure Island one evening taking photos when I saw the sun sinking through a lot of moisture in the air. I also saw Alcatraz out in the water, so I jumped in the car to drive around and find a spot where everything lined up together. That was a great night!
