Adventures in the Adriatic

I’m about to leave for a camping trip this weekend up to Mt. Lassen.

While waiting for my ride, I figured I should post a few pictures and things highlighting my awesome trip to Ireland, Spain and Croatia last month.

First off, courtesy of Flickr, here is the COMPLETE slide show of the trip. It’s over 700 photos.

Below, here are a few choice photos from the beginning of the trip.

Word Cloud of Obama’s Acceptance Speech

Here is an awesome word cloud of Obama’s acceptance speech. The size of each word is determined by the relative frequency it appeared in Obama’s speech.

It was nothing short of amazing.
