Times Square at Dusk, originally uploaded by Stuck in Customs.

It seems like there is a new “this is the coolest HDR photo ever” popping up all over these here interwebs every couple of days, but this one… this is pretty badass.

Here’s my little (joking) boy Deuce playing around at the beach. That’s me in the hat and Ken acting like a jackass behind the camera. Don’t worry, Ken’s not allowed to use the camera anymore, he either tries to make himself look like a badass or get all artsy and turn the camera sideways.

Does anyone know of any good Tumblr plugins for Wordpress, or Dashboard or anything fun. I’m over Twitter, but I think Tumblr is a good balance of true blogging and Twitter-esque simplicity, and am looking forward to using it a little more. I don’t like having to go to the site to update it though, I’d much rather have a front-end live on my desktop, and I’d like to have Wordpress pull everything into my “blog-proper” here at ryanbudke.com.

Any suggestions?

As I’m going around unboxing all of the stuff from the move, I keep finding more and more computers. I’ve got one machine that is a Windows Media Center Edition, one is running Red Hat that I was using to play around with Linux, one is an old Windows 98 machine, and then I have one running XP. I also have two (maybe one more) older Dell laptops.

Now, the question, what do I do with all of this potential fun? I think one will become a dummy hard-drive farm, I was playing around with making one the brains behind my dream home automation setup. Any ideas for the others, or ideas/experience on how to go about doing these two projects? I need to make sure that the laptops have power supplies, but one (or both of them) may turn into a digital picture frame.

So you guys are all geeks/opinionated, let me know if you’ve got any pearls of wisdom.

I’m halfway through this week’s SNL and it’s horrible. Seriously, this is f*$%ng pathetic. SNL hasn’t been funny in years, and every year it’s “Next year is going to be the year it gets better”. This isn’t pro sports, there isn’t a rebuilding period, get it right or get it off the air.

I’ve been unpacking for the past couple of weeks, and feel like I will be for the next couple of years. When I first moved into my last apartment, it was the first place I had lived on my own, so I really didn’t have that much stuff during the move. I realized I’ve picked up a lot of shit along the way.

Has anyone used these Space Bags or anything similar? I’ve got a ton of jackets and sweaters that just aren’t made for California weather.
