A small album of pictures taken during our recent Virginia/DC trip can be found via the links on the sidebar or directly here.
Checked my Analytics stats for the first time in G-d-knows-how-many-weeks and realized how wholesome and boring the searches that lead people to my website are. Fully two-thirds of all the searches can be fairly coherently attributed to specific subjects of my posts (over a quarter of all searches are to…
In the past, a 6-day interval between posts on this blog would invariably mean that I was on a trip to some fun and rewarding destination. At present, not so much. I still don’t have a writing angle that I want to be exploring in depth, and I’m increasingly lukewarm…
It was a good summer. Some of the best memories are now immortalized in the new album, accessible through the links on the right or directly here.
… are here. We split them into two albums, which can be accessed via the links on the navigation bar or by clicking here or here.
More photographic entertainment for my audience. Selection of pictures from Becky’s China trip and our recent excursion to Mini-Europe are now available in the Gallery.
This sign at a nearby supermarket parking lot kinda symbolizes the speed of my movements this weekend. Aside from seeing friends and watching football on the telly, I devoted the large part of the last two days to cleaning up some loose ends in the Travelog (the most…

Fellow UCF’er Shawn a couple of days ago posted seven very good tips for being a happy blogger. At first, I claimed in comments that I already follow all of his advice, but just a few days later I come to one of my periodic blogging crossroads, where I want…
I know there is a handful of people out there who subscribe to my RSS feed via FeedBurner (which is where the “Subscribe” button on the navigation bar pointed to until today). FeedBurner was bought by Google some time ago, and they are gradually getting around to migrating their service…
For those few who care, I have added pins and annotations to the US destinations on the World Map.
Oh yeah, I also changed my old boring favicon to a slightly less boring one. If anyone cares to clear their browser cache to have it updated, it would make me happy.
Don’t worry, you’re in the right place. I decided to redecorate, is all. Comparatively loud colors and large fonts tired me after a while. So, I chose a more subdued look instead. Because the selected template was seriously different from the old one, it took me somewhat longer than expected…
Burlaki.com are happy to announce our newest feature: The very cool annotated World Map. Made possible by the excellent Flash tool by amMap.com, it puts every place in Europe that we have ever graced with our presence onto the interactive map and provides short capsules of visit context and timing…
Sometime before Christmas, Natasha organized an impromptu home photo shoot with our two eager models. We finally got around to publishing some of those shots. They can be found either via the links on the navigation bar or here.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, for the last few weeks I have been chipping away at our old travel diaries, transcribing the observations about sights, museums, restaurants and hotels into Travelog entries. To my own surprise, I’m actually finished with that now. While I have what I think is a…
Almost exactly a year ago, I picked up a meme that asked the author to re-post the first sentences of the first blog entries of each month. I wanted to see how it would turn out this year as well, whether some sort of narrative can be discerned in such…
I don’t get hit by too many weird search queries – I guess my Google rank is not high enough to push me near the top of the results for your basic cuckoo searches. But checking my Google Analytics stats the other day I came across this gem that apparently…
Ok, not really. But a recent comment on my smoking in Canary Wharf illustration suggests that a French TV channel may be interested in using my photos from that post for their program. I honestly do not know how any of those photos could be very much useful for a…
A small collection of photographs taken on our recent getaway to Paris can be found here or via the links on the navigation bar. We only brought our small pocketcam with us, so the quality of some shots is a notch below than usual, but we figured we’d share them…
