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 […]

November – Day 7


Blog

I decided to take a break from writing for a few minutes just now and my break involved sketching a character on my computer, using words. I think I’m hooked. Here’s what I wrote: The hero. The protagonist. The man behind the curtain. The man in front of the curtain. In a different dimension, he […]

November – Day 6


Blog

Today, I was asked to update my résumé as a part of my 30 Day Challenge. I did, though I have a feeling that I didn’t take it as seriously as I will nine months from now when I start looking for a job. It’s nice to have some job security. But then I wonder […]

November – Day 5


Blog

Did you remember that today is the fifth of November? You must always remember. Remember the fifth of November. Now you will. The maggots didn’t kill me, though I woke up with some awful cramps/gas. Correlation? Probably. In continuing the trend of weird things being eaten on accident, today I ate fried duck heart and […]

November – Day 4


Blog

I think I may have eaten a maggot or two today. More on that later. I had to head into Kiev today for a medical appointment. I’d been having some pretty severe knee pains in the past couple of month and I finally broke down and talked to a doctor about it. I don’t know […]

Tech Tips – Firefox and Chrome Website Time Limits


Tech Tips

This month I did something I thought I’d never do, even though I’ve talked about it for years. I deactivated my Facebook account. I went cold turkey because I found myself wasting too much time on the website when I could have been productive and working on projects. In the few days that I’ve had […]
