What's that address again?





Architectural signage is a key element on the exterior of any building... you hate to see a great facade compromised by signage that ends up being an afterthought. These numbers appear on the outside of the new Fairview Research Center, on the corner of Mercer and Fairview.

It would appear that the number spin individually on their own axis... but they may simply be fixed at different angles. More later...

Nice Shot w/a Powershot???


In a magazine ad for a camera, is it fair to assume that the photo featured in the ad was taken using the actual camera being advertised??

How to verify? It reminds me of the "scandal" surrounding Microsoft staff using Apple and other products to create websites and such - even though MS made similar (though not quite as good?) products.

For the record, the photo of this ad for Canon Powershots was taken with a Powershot.

Heavenly Soiree at Club Cielo

Last night was my first official Christmas party of the season graciously hosted by Seattle's ZinoSociety and held at the new and fabulous Club Cielo at Escala in downtown.

Great party, great food and a huge crowd of wine lovers and business movers/shakers. Oh, and let us not forget the lovely Miss Washington - Tracy Turnure - or was on hand to mix & mingle. For more pics from the event, visit the blog of the lovely and gracious Cathi Hatch.

Unfortunately, the camera wasn't handy for my shot with Miss Tracy, so all I got was this shot with my buddy D Mc.



Let the holiday games begin!
