And I don't mean artistic criticism about its architectural merits, either.

I have a fairly substantial queue of essays to write: a summary of my (entirely positive) experiences at XML Prague; at least three photo essays about Prague; some remarks about the joy of a wide angle lens in a beautiful, historic city; some additional thoughts about XProc parameters now that we have a draft, and I have an implementation, that works; and probably a couple of other things by the time I get that all written down.

But this week's task (I'm taking a few vacation days) is renovation of the kitchen. It's one of the projects. Before you can install new cabinets, you have to remove the existing ones: deconstruction. Not really demolition because I was able to freecycle the old ones.

Without further ado, deconstruction of the Walsh kitchen in just over a minute. And my first YouTube movie.

I tried to “film” the next day's work, and had hoped to film the reconstruction, but gphoto2 and my camera stopped cooperating. I wish I had time to investigate why.

The soffit that you see along the wall will (has been) extended out over (what will be) the peninsula counter. New cabinets will hang from it.
