I am a massive, massive fan of the BBC car show “Top Gear”. The trio of presenters work just so well together and make it absolutely hilarious to watch. Frosty (who at one time maintained his blog!) used to have screenings during work back in Adelaide, something I always looked forward to.

Richard Hammond, one of the presenters, was recently in a car crash while trying to beat the British land speed record. I’m not surprised at that, I’m surprised he actually got injured (and pretty badly too). Here’s hoping he recovers soon!

Story is here.

I took this HDR picture of Miami the other night. It’s a few pictures taken at different exposures slapped together with photoshop. I ended up forgetting that each photo taken for a HDR really should be one-stop different from its ’neighbour’, and the highest exposure photo wasn’t nearly enough to bring out the reflection in the water. Also, I was in the sort of spot where I didn’t feel completely safe, so I didn’t hang around for too long.

Is that enough excuses yet?

Note this is a very small snippet of the Miami skyline. It’s a lot larger than this and is due to get a *lot* larger than it is now. Count the number of cranes in this picture. I think there are something like ten of them.

I’ve really, really been getting into the Spanish/hispanic thing lately. I’ve started listening to a lot of the music, local bands like Minimal and now branching out to some other groups like the superstar Mexican group Cafe Tacuba. My fav song from them so far: Eres. Even if you don’t know a lick of Spanish, it still sounds damn good.
