In October 2004 Mount St. Helens became active again. I went there to take a look and then this sign stopped me.
The most impressive was looking at the mountain thinking about the before and after photos of the 1980 eruption. That a mountain that big can blow up is mind boggling.
Early in the morning the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) is getting ready to dock in the San Diego harbor. The ship is 1,092 feet (333 meters) long and has a crew of 6,500 people.
The San Diego Padres do quite well this year but no one is sure yet if they will make it to the playoffs. And that while we are in the second half of September. Padres fans know the feeling all too well. At the moment this picture was taken the spectators were feeling better.

I took this picture inside Château de Chenonceau. The same French castle that is pictured on the cover of Cocoa Design Patterns. On the book cover the outside of this castle is shown, which is pretty impressive, especially because the bridge that spans the river Cher is part of the castle. The picture above is taken inside that bridge. The inside is still nice, but not nearly as impressive as the outside.
Something like that is true for most books on Cocoa/iOS/iPhone development. They look good on the outside, but a soon as you dive in, they are nice but nothing more. Cocoa Design Patterns is an exception to this rule, in my humble opinion this is one of the few books every iOS or Mac OS X developer should read. It is not a book for beginners, but will suit someone who has already quite some Cocoa experience.

Below are some more pictures of the Château de Chenonceau.
Close-up of a Sagauro. Makes excellent wallpaper. Sagauros are very big; some may live for more than 150 years.

I have not visited Japan yet but this photo may make you think I did. It is actually taken in downtown San Diego. San Diego is home of a lot of US Navy stuff, foreign navy vessels visit the city on a regular basis.
