37

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 […]

Writing

I just want you to know that I am currently working on my directed study writing project for the semester. I have uploaded my first two drafts so far. I will plan on uploading a new draft each week or so. Every time that I do, it will either have more content made to it, […]

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 grass still had dew upon it, the sun hadn’t rose enough to […]

Fiction

The neighbors talk about the old country in a way that makes me picture everything about it overlaid with a golden screen. It’s always ‘in the old country this’ or ‘in the old country that’ and you would think that these people were crazy for leaving such a beloved land. Not me. No, don’t think […]

Skribit


Blog

Just a quick thing, I added a script to my site that allows you to suggest what I write about. It’s the little tab at the bottom that says ‘Suggestions?’. I am not sure if this will be used or how, so it might just disappear. Let me know your thoughts on it.

Day one


Blog

Classes started today; I am less excited than I was yesterday. Regardless, I think I am going to have a good semester. My English class is on novels from the best, in my opinion, time period. I walked in late to my religious studies class (it started twenty minutes before I thought it did) and […]

Life updates


Blog

I thought I would just duck my head in and let everyone know that I am still alive. I am ready to start the new semester. Well, mostly ready to write my directed study project for Creative writing. Fear not, I will post it here when I am done; possibly while I am writing it. […]

This is Crosshatch

I just wanted to say, last Monday’s comic was number 300. I would have said that sooner but I was away from my computer last week while visiting some friends in Washington DC.

Just another day


Blog

This is my third attempt at writing a review of the past decade. Let me tell you, it isn’t easy. Reviewing a single year is tough enough. I am going to try anyway. Be warned, I will be throwing a bunch of numbers at you so this isn’t intended for the numerophobias out there. It’s […]

A bit of paranoia


Blog

In my last post I put in a small plug for the new support for extensions in Google Chrome. I am pretty sure that I have mentioned that this is my browser of choice and has been for some time. Speed and simplicity are what drew me in and what keeps me here. Extensions only […]

Michael’s Jersey


Fiction

Michael was born first, that’s just how it happened. In the three and a half years before I was born I’m told Michael was treated as a prince. There are shoe boxes full of photos to confirm this. Photo albums are stuffed with Michael’s chubby, smiling face sitting above Mickey Mouse shirts and his bare […]
