20:55 - In other ricardo.ch news, we bought a vintage record player table for 200 (originally 280). We're picking it up tomorrow. Did I score? We will find out.
Last week was nice. I only had to work for two days before we headed off to spend some time with my wife's family. Along the way we visited some National Trust properties and gardens, had a lovely BBQ, and even got in some birdwatcher. I...
Let’s talk travel photography! I have two upcoming classes and photowalks this month: Austin on July 8th and Oklahoma City on July 25th. These will be centered around gear selection, tips, and Recipes for your summer outings. If you live...
I think this might be the first Hitchcock that just didn't really work for me. The premise feels unlike so much of his output: dated and strained. Asking Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman to both play against type is, I think, laudatory, but...

You see it all the time — “70% of drivers think they’re above average” used as an example at how stupid people are. Often mixed with some confused Dunning-Krueger references. But the thing is: Most people observe the other drivers around...
If you haven't played laser tag in ~30 years, you'll need to make adjustments: the equipment is much different (and better) than you remember, and the rules are probably more complicated. Start by internalizing the idea that you don't...
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is trampling down the mansions where the wealth of men is stored. He has heard each cry of widow, orphan, refugee–ignored! The Lord is marching on! Refrain: Glory, glory,...
