Costa Rica, originally uploaded by GeoffMyers.net.

I just got back late last night from my 10-day vacation in Costa Rica! I took more than 1000 photos, but I’ve uploaded only 25 to Flickr. Please take a look at them and tell me what you think. I shot everything originally in RAW format (the highest quality). Because of that, I needed 2×4 GB high-speed CompactFlash cards. But it was worth it, because the color is so vivid and there’s no compression! Thanks and enjoy!

Wealth and Religiosity, originally uploaded by jurvetson.

Very interesting graph. I want to live in West Europe. I’m disgusted with the United States!

Excellent video about why all religion is false.

Yes, I am a total geek. I just passed the Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.4 exam, which is required for one to become an official Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist. I know I’m only 17, but this will help me with future employment (I can now work at the Genius Bar if I want to). The required passing grade was 60%, and I got 93%. This certification gives me more credibility for both my current and prospective clients (I have more than 30 now). On January 2, I’m taking a second Apple exam so that I can become an Apple Certified Desktop Technician. This will allow me to physically modify Apple desktops WITHOUT voiding the Apple warranty. Wish me luck!

I recently won the yMinds weekly competition, a photography contest for teenagers, with my photo titled “Minneapolis Sunset.”
