JackHoya: Blog

Summary: Sports, gadgets, graphic design, and all things Boston are just a few of the topics you can read about here. Suffice it to say, if it catches my interest I'll write about it.


I finally got around to fixing my "send this to a friend" feature ... I'd overlooked one stupid little thing that was making it break. Anyway, now when you see a picture or feature on my site that you want to show a friend, you can just click the link in the lower right corner of the page and send them a quick e-mail. Pretty cool, huh?

So it's just come to my attention that people have been hitting my site, looking for some photos I recently took. You see, I've spent the last two weekends roadtripping around the Atlantic Coast.

I was in Maryland two weekends ago for the Inaugural Legacy Cup Steeplechase at Shawan Downs2. My old college roommate Steve3 invited me to join him and his fiancee Jenny, along with a big group of friends from their Dewey Beach summer house (aka the Naughty Monkey House). Jenny's cousins cooked up an enormous spread for our tailgating party and I think everyone had a great time.

This past weekend I also headed up to Boston again. I spent Friday night partying at Boston College4 with my brother Steve and his girlfriend Mary (who are both seniors) and then went up to the North Shore to visit my parents on Saturday. After grabbing brunch, my dad and I went to the driving range and then relaxed, watching college football. I made my way back into Boston that night and a huge group of us went to the Hong Kong in Faneuil Hall for some scorpion bowls, and I've got plenty of photos from that.

Anyway, I'm planning to get all those photos up soon; I've just been swamped with work and haven't had a chance yet. They're worth waiting for, though! Patience ...
