DC Sunrises
Been so busy lately I’ve unfortunately been seeing a lot of sunrises from our balcony overlooking DC…

Kennedy Center Website Updates
Lots of exciting website updates were launched last week with the Washington National Opera and Kennedy Center affiliation on July 1st… which were also the primary reason why my blog has taken a back seat for the past month.
Two primary updates (among many) in which I focused on their design and implementation were the new contribute pages for Kennedy Center, WNO, and NSO; and the new event pages. Both gave me the opportunity to further my jQuery and JavaScript knowledge as well as get more familiar with ColdFusion.
Happy 4th of July
Not going to lie, I am beyond thrilled/proud of how my 4th of July flag cake turned out. Not only because of the ‘architectural’ feat in making it, but also because the layers were made in the microwave. Yes, the microwave. Randomly, hours before our party, right as I get my first batch of better ready to go I realize the oven wasn’t preheating. After running down to the front desk and unsuccessfully begging to borrow a vacant apartment (full house in the building), I decided my last resort was the microwave. After a couple of fruitless Google attempts I decided to wing it and pop half a cake batter batch in the microwave for 5 minutes… and voilà! Despite a slightly interesting spongey texture it actually still tasted pretty darn good. More pictures below (note: pictures 1 and 5 below taken from friends).
Happy 4th of July!!!
DC Double Rainbow
So thrilled I was working from home today, saw my first and only double rainbow over Washington DC from our balcony. Might be my new favorite DC view balcony picture.

DC is barely visible, hidden in the rain cloud under the rainbows.
