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 […]

36

Blog

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 […]

August Updates


Blog, Motorcycles

I’m terrible at posting this month an it hurts me in my inner bits. I’m working on a couple of goals like I did in November 2011. I want to commit myself to writing every day for a month, for example. I think that would be good. However, I want to do one of the […]

Chromecast is Hilarity


Blog

Last week Google announced their Chromecast and the little, revolutionary device sold out in about two hours by my estimate. Not bad. I was fortunate enough to get my order in right before Amazon sold out (I opted for SuperSaver shipping, so it arrived yesterday). After having the device and playing with it for a day, […]

Minneapolis


Blog

When I bought my 2007 Kia Rio back in December, I was in need of a car to get to and from my job every day (then a 1:15 commute each way). I was in a time crunch too, and had very little time after work to view cars in person. But I ended up […]

Hot Yellow Pepper Casserole


Recipes

I just made this awesome dish and I didn’t document it. I’m not even sure what kind of peppers I used, but damn is it good. Sometimes things like this happen. You’re in the kitchen and you don’t really have a recipe but you know the taste you’re trying to achieve. For this one, I […]

Gentleman Herb Farmer


Blog

Freshman year of college, I decided to get a cactus. It was an impulse buy at the Saturday farmer’s market. As I carried it home, I started visualizing the little life form’s demise. I could barely take care of myself, how could I take care of a cactus? I named him Carl. The following year, […]

Sir Paul McCartney Came to Milwaukee


Blog

You know it’s a good day when you go into work and you’re planning on buying a few tickets to see a legendary singer in the flesh and you leave work not having bought the tickets but still getting to see the concert. For me, this happened a few months ago. I was planning on […]

Cat Grooming


Blog, Cats

Oh my god! I think I just came to the realization that this leading lady:  …Doesn’t lick me because she spent time with dogs and picked up their odd dog habits but in fact she licks me because she finds my personal grooming habits inadequate to her own. Maybe she did the math and calculated […]

Kia Rio Cruise Control


Blog

When I bought my 2007 Kia Rio back in December, I didn’t realize how much I’d miss having cruise control. Apparently, the 2007 Kia Rio doesn’t come with the option of cruise control which is pretty amazing considering it’s a great piece of technology to have and it has been around in its current form […]

Today’s Lunch


Blog

Today’s lunch was exactly what I expected it to be, with a few more toppings than I expected. Also, five feet of pizza for nine people is a lot when most people don’t pull their own weight. Take a gander:  Five feet of pizza apparently comes in two boxes. To make the day better, I […]

Friday’s Lunch


Blog

Earlier this week, my boss sent out an email instructing us to not bring a lunch on Friday. We’ve discussed the possibility of this being a cruel joke where no one has lunch from Friday but we’re thinking pizza.
