This is a collection of flower photos I’ve taken mainly with my Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 lens, on my Nikon D90. I particularly like the super close-up photos that become so abstract that it’s hard to tell exactly what it is a photo of. If you liked this post, share it!
As a software developer, I spend my life writing line upon line of code with the idea that someone, somewhere will eventually use whatever software I’m building.

Things in the “software development” world have changed a fair bit over the last 10 years. In the past, developers used to have to think carefully about the SQL they wrote, making sure that they used well optimized stored procedures on well designed databases with the right indexes on the right columns because let’s face […]
In a previous role, I was tasked with writing a newsletter email sender. How hard can this be, I thought to myself, and set off to complete my mission. Initial Thoughts We were probably going to be sending tens of thousands of emails at a time so although I figured I’d need to use some […]
