A guy asked on an online forum a while back for help naming his countertop/cabinetry business. I suggested CounterIntuitive, CounterProductive and Cabinet Fever. He didn’t say a goddamn word. Somebody please start a counter finishing business called CounterIntuitive and put him out of business.

Had another one of my totally awesome nightmare episodes this morning, which actually seem to have more of the characteristics of night terrors, a term that creeps me out. It’s Nina’s first night back from her field study, and we originally crashed at about 9:30. I slept for about an hour, then awoke, remembering I [...]

Couldn’t sleep due to a cough, got up and wrote this.

Back in 1999 when I built my first website with a couple friends, we decided to base it on one of our favorite subjects: Zombies. At the time, there was no zombie-related information online (we know, we spent a lot of time looking for it.) Sure, you could find the occasional still from a zombie [...]

This is what happens when not only is your girlfriend out of town and all your friends are doing other things, but your knee is busted and you can’t even leave the apartment.

Have you ever read a really good book and afterward thought “Wow, that guy must have the newest copy of Microsoft Word.” Or looked at a painting and thought “Wow, this guy uses really good brushes.” Of course not. So quit saying I have a really nice camera! People take great photos with shitty cameras [...]

I know I posted a while back with my first attempt at skate flash photography, but as I had owned my flash for all of about two days, I didn’t really know what I was doing with it. Honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing, but I went out shooting without fully understanding how the whole flash [...]
