Our photographer was Travis Gagnon. He will also be photographing our wedding and we highly recommend him.
Tattoo Research
November 10th, 2007I just got the book Tattoo History: A Source Book by Steve Gilbert (ISBN 1-890451-06-1). It seems pretty comprehensive. Hopefully it will give us some good ideas.

Fermenting Revolution Talk at JHU
November 7th, 2007For some reason or other, my alma mater decided it would not advertise this on-campus event.
Cristopher O’Brien, the author of Fermenting Revolution: How to Drink Beer and Save the World will be reading and signing books. This will take place on Saturday, 10 November 2007 from 18:00 to 19:00 EST at the Sherwood Room of Levering Hall. So if you’re in Baltimore, check it out.
This was brought to my attention by Nick Nichols, who teaches the Beer History and Appreciation course at Johns Hopkins University. For more information, see this flyer.

Polynesian Wedding Tattoos
October 28th, 2007Estella and I want to get tattoos when we get married as permanent celebrations of our love for each other.
Right now, we are thinking of getting coordinating Polynesian tattoos. We would like something personalised for us that is also not offensive to any Polynesian culture.
We have found some limited information online, but we still have a lot of research to do.

OpenID
October 19th, 2007I started experimenting with OpenID. I am using phpMyID as my identity provider and the Wordpress OpenID Plugin to authenticate other OpenID users.
It does not appear to be working. I’m not able to log into all OpenID supported sites using phpMyID and when I try to log into my own site using my open id, I get “OpenID Authentication Failed: Bad signature.” from the plugin.
I seem to be able to log into http://openid.verselogic.net/ but it is running 2.2, while I am running 2.3.
Update:
I got it working. On the OpenID Options page, where it says, “Include the trailing slash” under “Trust root”… be sure to do that.
Also, I had to make a small modification to support 2.3. I changed the reference to wp-admin/admin-db.php in openid-registration.php to wp-admin/includes/user.php, an idea I got from blog.bittube.com.
Of course, now I am just worried about spam.
Enagement
June 20th, 2007On Friday, 15 June 2007, I took Estella to the historic Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin to celebrate our two-year anniversary. There, in room 506, I sat her on the bed and proposed. With tears in her eyes, she nodded. I pulled her into me and we kissed for the first time as fiancés. Elated, I put the ring on her finger.
