Stumbled across this blog online tonight that’s been collecting Tweets from extreme religious nutcases in the wake of George Tiller‘s death. I’m confused: How exactly are these people “pro-life?” Fucking disgusting. These are absolutely fucking disgusting people. The big hoopla is that Tiller worked at one of the few clinics in the country that would [...]

I was reading Strobist the other night during lunch at work and he had just posted a blog about shooting water drops, which I decided to try myself this evening. For the first batch, I shot water dripping into a wine glass. In a smaller container I think I got more interesting drips, because it [...]

Today for lunch, Nina and I blended bananas, strawberries, pineapple juice, coconut, some ice, and a whole lot of rum. It’s much better than breakfast was.

Today for breakfast I had an apple pear. It’s a pear shaped a bit like an apple and, as Nina observed, “not as good as an apple or a pear.” Don’t bother buying apple pears.

Nothing has made me want to shoot pictures more than being stuck at work for 8 hours listening to photography podcasts. I hear so many techniques I want to try and learn so many names I want to check out that I’ve started keeping a list of things to explore when I get off work. [...]

Well, I started my new temp position today. I sit at a computer and punch addresses into a database from an endless sea of envelopes. I’m not really sure what I accomplish at my job, but it is really, really easy. And I don’t have to deal with customers, or even people for the most [...]

I forgot your birthday yesterday. Four years old! You’re getting so big.
