I pushed some changes to the comments display and a new random photo thing-a-ma-jig in the footer live earlier today. Please leave a comment or drop me a note if you notice anything broken.

After I mowed the lawn today, I was hanging out on the deck with the dogs and thought I’d give it a try. Here are the two panoramas I took:

The deck and part of the yard.
