Microscopy Obsession

So I’ve had this little obsessive interest in microscopy for the last few years. I really want to start making photos/videos of my own. But the gear is really expensive. Yes, I must admit I’ve been researching microscope setups for the last few months. If you think photography is a nerdy interest, just wait until [...]

KAL Hotel Lunch

Our school directors took us to lunch at the KAL Hotel today. The lunch was fun and afterwards we walked through some paths in the gardens, visited a green house, and then made our way down to the beach. The weather was fantastic, warm bright sun and a cool breeze coming in off the ocean. [...]

sunrise peak

Nancy’s brother came to visit us for the weekend from Seoul. We went to Jungmoon on Saturday. I was still a bit sick and didn’t take my camera along. On Sunday I was feeling better and we traveled over to the Eastern side of the island to visit a place called sunrise peak. It’s right [...]

Download

It’s been a while since I’ve spent time updating the blog. So here it is, the download. I’m going to post a bunch of random pictures from the last few months. I caught a cold from a student last week, so this weekend not much got done. We have Wednesday off this week because it’s [...]

Rally Day

Philadelphia by train

Today Nancy and I ventured down to the city on the train. It took about 45 minutes, not too bad. But it did cost $24!!! I think that’s pretty darn expensive. Too bad everyone wants their own car, it makes it hard for the rail systems to survive I guess. The picture above was taken [...]

Navexos P-35

I’ve been working on the flash book format today. I’m working on the AMFPHP code and all the other connecting code bits to make it more automated. Then I can just pass subcategory (or other) variables to it and the book will put all the pages in dynamically. Stay tuned for that one. I also [...]

Never ending coding…

It never ends. I’ve been coding for two days straight, and I’m still not finished. Things are coming along nicely though. I made long overdue major revisions to the MySQL database structure of the site, which impacts just about the whole back-end admin. That’s what I’m still recoding at the moment. I did finish most [...]

New Home Page!!!

I’m so excited! Figuring out this AMFPHP connection is opening up so many possibilities for dynamic information display! I just reworked the home page with a new dynamic flash clip. Check it out! I’ve embedded the flash movie to the left as well as an example. The flash template grabs the details for whatever the [...]
