My busted comuter wasn't that busted, in actual fact. It turns out that our small-ish, malevolent cat had chomped a couple of key wires in the cable that hooks the hard drive to everything else. Currently, it iskind of jerry-rigged, convincing my computer to run it's sole hard-drive as a “slave” drive, using the side […]

My computer's busted, so I have been offline for something on the order of two weeks. No biggie…the hardrive isn't dead or anything, it's just that the OS isn't playing nicely with some of the other software, and it doesn't want to boot, and runs like a three-legged goat when it is up.

I'm recycling an old, old, OLD piece of my own writing. Old as in from my junior or senior year of highschool. I was ratting through some of my old crap, looking for my notebooks of godawful adolescent poetry to recycle into a different entry when I came across this thing. I don't remember for […]

I've been reading different software companies product promotional sites today, conducting research for a project at work. I've got to admit that right about now, my brains have pretty much liquefied.

So, I deliberately unfocused my camera and snapped this picture to create a sort of impressionist effect. And this is what that blurry mess really is. I need to go out tomorrow and take some proper pictures in real daylight. I was having the devil's own time taking pictures at dawn. The flash was too […]

I made some new pants. As you can see, Griswald had to get in on the photoshoot action. He does this EVERY time I try to lay something out to take a picture of it. Jewelry, clothes, tchotchkes, you name it, if it is an inanimate object in the house, he will try to put […]

It all started three weeks ago, when one of my biking buddies informed me that there was a sign near one of the downtown construction sites advising “Totally Nude Parking In The Rear.” Now, a little background here: Thar be a stripper joint downtown, called “Totally Nude Temptations.” Due to all of the construction going […]

Spring… Sprang… Sprung! On my lunch hour on Thursday, I went riding around downtown taking pictures of random things, and these are some of my favorite photos from the day. I've never taken a picture of opening leaf buds before, and I was just jazzed to the max to have captured such a moment of […]
