Video proof.

On January 1, 2008, I wrote the post entitled, “America has NYC and the Ball…” to prove that we have one of the weakest new year’s celebrations in the world. I provided tons of photo evidence to prove my point, but I never thought of video evidence.
Well, it looks like someone else completed that task [...]

Simply Amazing.

Explanation: Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. On January 26, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. [...]

Third try is a charm, right? Wrong. Tonight was the end of Solon Home Day’s and so of course, there were fireworks. I was looking to tonight as the end of my horrible firework streak, hoping that I would see some great fireworks allowing me to take great photo. Well, one [...]

Last night was the not-so great fireworks, while tonight was the not-so fireworks. I traveled downtown Cleveland with the folks to listen to the Cleveland Orchestra and watch some amazing fireworks.

The not-so great fireworks.

Indians 5, Orioles 4
CLEVELAND (AP) — Perhaps the only player in the ballpark that could have caught Grady Sizemore’s home-run ball was the guy who hit it.
Sizemore sped around the bases with an inside-the-park home run, Jake Westbrook got his first win in five starts and the Cleveland Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles [...]
