  • When It’s Cold I’d Like to Die

    No, not really. That’s just the name of a song by Moby that I never heard until I watched the first season of Stranger Things. That scene… right in the feels. It’s just the tune that came to mind when I saw this old self portrait I did years ago for my digital painting class.…

  • Throwback: The Desk Photo

    The other day I was rigging up a subwoofer to my old bookshelf system (speakers are a bit lacking in the bass department) and remembered posting a picture of it on one of my early blog posts — actually 14 years ago this month. I found the link to the image broken– I’d stored it…

  • The Journey

    Kaylee: How come you don’t care where you’re going? Book: ‘Cause how you get there is the worthier part. This morning I viewed a post on instagram where the author, who posts a lot of landscape photos from hikes, explained that they really disliked hiking– which seemed odd for someone who does so much of…

  • Bear Lake

    I remember Jeff and I were spread out in the back of his family’s minivan, pouring over my first issue of Nintendo Power, the Zelda II issue. We would see how long we could suck on Starburst candies before we’d either start chewing or swallow them. Oh man, check out the awesomeness that is the…

  • Anyone out there?

    Just a quick post to see if anyone is seeing this. Anyone else still blogging or feel like journeying back into blog-dom with me? As I scanned back through entry after entry of my own blog the other day, it was kind of depressing to realize just how little output I’ve had in the last…

  • Doing as geeks do

    I remember when I bought my first laptop in 2003. I think it was a Dell Latitude– a nice big boat of a 15″ laptop, huge by today’s standards. But it had a sweet 1920 x 1200 display (all my icons were tiny and I had so much real estate to work with). What was…

  • Ghost Town

    Elementary school. Fourth grade. I was 9-10 years old. One of the only really memorable activities from that year in school was the Ghost Town. I think we earned and saved up funny money for use at this event throughout the year. On the day of the event, the gym was filled with all sorts…

  • Sing Me to Sleep

    How does this image make you feel? Yeah. Took this almost a year ago… never really got around to processing these photos. 2012 was crap for blogging and photography for me.

  • Google Reader: I’ve been dating an old lady.

    I’m just posting this because I’ve seen a lot of the “what will I do without Google Reader” sentiment going around. And obviously I need an RSS reader to keep up with YOUR blog, so here we are. It seems like the most common / popular alternative to Google Reader is feedly (just my observation,…

  • St. George 2013

    Spent the weekend here last weekend with the Aldrich crew and most of the Sloan crew. Such a good weekend. Sunshine, red mesas, temps in the 80s, day trip to Vegas to indulge Kato’s Dunkin Donuts obsession (Irish Creme donut was amazing), swimming, bumper boat shenanigans at Fiesta Fun, great food, and some quality time…

  • Why is there a “Flu Season”?

    A couple months back, amidst news reports of record high incidence of the flu, I found myself wondering… why is there a “season” for the flu? What I’ve learned since then: • Your white blood cells need calcium to work efficiently. (White blood cells are cells of the immune system involved in defending the body…

  • Siren

    I was just gliding along a rolling paved road who knows where. The golden light of the morning and the lush green grass on either side of the road told me it was summer time, if not late spring. I was lost in thought– lyrics that don’t make much sense upon recalling– as I traveled…

  • Dusting off the blog

    You know… I don’t know that I care for my current layout / design. Not mine, of course, just a template I installed. But it does lend itself well to how neglected this blog has been, no? 😉 I should actually design my own… haven’t done that in years. (Just another reason why I have…

  • Is this thing on?

    Who cares if flowers are one of the most cliche photo subjects? Missing me again. Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking…

  • Recital pt. 2

    So amidst taking stills, I recorded a brief clip or 2 of the dancing, since stills don’t do dancing justice. Hope you’ll forgive the shakiness– I’m a complete novice at video and don’t have software to smooth that out just yet. Can you just tell how much she’s enjoying dancing here? She’s totally into it…
