Blog

Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

Photographing a Lunar Eclipse on 35mm Film

Blog, Photography

If you were to ask my wife why I do all of the hard things I do, she’ll tell you that it is because I can. And she isn’t wrong. I genuinely love to find out about something new, or old that I should be able to do and then spend days and weeks researching […]

Six sixes. Four nines. Three twelves. Two eighteens. One thirty-six. The past year started out with my baby girl turning one. It’s hard to think she’s approaching two so quickly now. We threw her a big bash to ring in the whole year. Two months later she started walking and has been getting fast and […]

Madison, Wisconsin Capitol – Fall 2006

Blog, Photography

I don’t have the usual gallery to share today. However, I do have 20 exposures from a roll of 24 all stitched into a single image. I used my Kodak Retina Reflex S camera with a 135mm telephoto lens, all of which was mounted on a tripod. This was the first roll I shot once […]

High School – Roll 13

Blog, Photography

This is the last of my rolls from my film photography class in high school. Following this class, I had a semester of digital photography which I didn’t enjoy. That class had too much emphasis on Photoshop edits and those aren’t really my thing. These photos, however, are not the last of the photos I […]

Frustrations


Blog

I’ve got a lot on my mind right now. I’m not sure that anyone can help me work it all out either. I hope this isn’t what life is going to be like now that I’m not in school anymore.

Four days and counting


Blog

The internet was out for a good portion of work today. I could have used the time to work on one of my papers due later this week, but instead I chose to play solitaire. I’m going to try and crank one or two papers out this afternoon after chugging an energy drink. I had […]

Work and leisure


Blog

Once again, I have been slacking in my updates. It’s that time of the semester so I feel like I can get away with it. I had a few more problems with the Kawasaki this past weekend. It currently isn’t ridable. I took the carbs off to clean them and when I put them back […]

The Life of Charles Wright


Fiction

May the Angels lead thee into Paradise; may the Martyrs receive thee at thy coming and take thee to Jerusalem, the holy city. May the choirs of the Angels receive thee, and mayest thou with once poor Lazarus, have rest everlasting. Amen. The Old Country The grass still had dew upon it; the sun hadn’t […]

Problems with the SR


Motorcycles

Spring Break has passed and now all I have to look forward to academically, is graduation. I have four papers to write between now and then, one midterm and three finals. It shouldn’t be too difficult. I picked up the Kawasaki KZ650SR over break and I rode her around a lot. I would have some […]

Mohammed and the naysayer


Peace Corps

I finally met with Mohammed last Thursday. He is my attempt at getting tutoring experience before I leave for the Peace Corps (30hrs are required, though I plan to do much more). Mohammed is from Saudi Arabia. He’s 26 and he is here learning English so he can attend an American graduate program. He majored […]

I intended to write about something else today, but that topic can wait. I came across a video that is quite interesting. I’m not sure if any of you are aware, but the new Adobe Creative Suite is set to release on April 12th of this year. I’ve never been a big fan of the […]

Waiting for Mohammed


Peace Corps

In preparation for the Peace Corps, I was asked to start tutoring ESL students. The guidelines I was given for this were very broad. I need to have 30 hours logged before I am able to leave. That being said, I am sitting in a coffee shop hoping that Mohammed has a chance to show […]

Cats and Slavic countries


Cats, Peace Corps

For the past few years there has been a small dispute about whether or not I draw myself into my comic. I don’t, for the record. But regardless, I did two things last Wednesday that was out of character. I forgot to post a comic before it should have gone up and I drew myself […]

Interviews and employment


Computers, Peace Corps

My apologies, I just realized that I didn’t update the comic last night. I was in the homework mode until I went to bed. I will try to get one up tonight. To answer the question, “How did your interview go?” It went, okay. However, I find it hard to judge because I think I […]
