Balinese Nasi Campur uploaded on 8 November 2007

Nasi campur = "mixed rice"

The mix varies, but it usually consists of 4 or 5 elements; some with meat, some all-veggie, all delicious.

This plate was served to me at a roadside restaurant in Tirtagangga, Bali, Indonesia

Hotel Uma, Ubud, Bali uploaded on 8 November 2007

We stayed at this luxury hotel during our honeymoon, and it was fab! Very sophisticated, but not overly pretentious. I'd highly recommend it.

This is a view of the reception area.

Victorion, by Sirron Norris uploaded on 6 November 2007

Best viewed large, of course.

In September 2007, the fabulous Sirron Norris completed a new street mural called "Victorion, El Defensor de la Misión" on Balmy Alley in the Mission District, San Francisco; it's a smart commentary about the development and preservation of the neighborhood.

Mama's Pizza, Hackettstown, New Jersey uploaded on 6 November 2007

I grew up in Hackettstown, New Jersey and in Hackettstown I practically grew up at Mama's Pizza. I live in San Francisco now, but truth is, the pizza in California just ain't as good. So whenever I return to New Jersey, I always head to Mama's for a slice.
