That&amp;#8217;s the Charles Bridge behind her, built in 1357.  The hotel door that she&amp;#8217;s reaching out and touching is set in a wall that was remodeled in the mid 1,400&amp;#8217;s, and was before that part of an archbishop&amp;#8217;s palace.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Weekend fun</title>
      <link>http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2007/6/25/weekend_fun</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/71235231@N00/625536083"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1157/625536083_d3984aa57e.jpg" alt="Weekend fun" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m really happy with the photos I took of Amy waterskiing (the subject matter helps of course).  I used my &lt;a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3253&amp;#38;navigator=5"&gt;Sigma 105mm&lt;/a&gt; lens, set it to manual focus, locked it in (after all, she wasn&amp;#8217;t getting any nearer or farther from the boat) and shot away.  The sun was at a great angle, and I used a circular polarizing filter to cancel out as much of the glare off the water as I could.  Lots of fun if you&amp;#8217;re a photogeek like me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Inside Joke</title>
      <link>http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2007/1/9/inside_joke</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;She got it.  Tonight while watching &lt;a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/two_and_a_half_men/"&gt;Two and a Half Men&lt;/a&gt; (through the time-shifting magic of &lt;a href="http://www.tivo.com/"&gt;TiVo&lt;/a&gt;) Amy understood the following (approximate) joke spoken by Charlie Sheen&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Charlie&amp;#8221; to John Cryer&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Alan&amp;#8221; when he sees Alan&amp;#8217;s unfortunate earring:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;[the earring] is fine&amp;#8230; if you&amp;#8217;re the sort of person who&amp;#8217;s about to take Mollie Ringwald to a Wham! concert.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;She never gets that kind of joke.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
