Lorem Ipsum – A Tradition of Bullshit

This evening I was working on a new website that I plan to release soon, it is for my art. I have been trying to develop the website without doing any of the actual writing that is required (including my present nemesis: the artist’s statement). As a placeholder I have been using Lorem Ipsum text. […]

Art Instructor

I was contemplating careers tonight as I was driving home, I am adding Art Instructor to the list. Seems to fit what I like.

Stupid Privacy Policy Laws

I am never amazed at the stupidity of some people and organizations. Google has been in violation of a California law requiring commercial websites hosted in the state to have a privacy policy linked from their homepage for 5 years. Google has their policy available from their About page (one click from Home), but the […]

Quote: June 3, 2008

I haven’t done a quote entry recently and I ran across a good one earlier on Jeff’s blog when I was catching up with his life. “Many people want to be authors, not writers. They want to have written, not to write.” Direct link to his post: http://economy.failuretorefrain.com/2008/04/04/writing-quote/.

What is my purpose?

I have been a college student for almost 5 years now (since August 2003) and I still don’t know what I want to do. I am a Software and Information Systems student by major designation, but anyone who meets me (that didn’t know me when I was a computer dork) doesn’t seem to believe that. […]

Playing with Night Long Exposures

I’ve been playing with my camera again. This was an optional part of my shutter assignment, using long shutter times to do an exposure at night. I had a lot of fun trying this tonight in my bank’s parking lot. Images are available on Flickr or on my personal gallery. If you want to see […]

Have A Cookie

Out of a burst of craving and a bit of bordem I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies last night. It is an odd thing that the cookies you make yourself don’t taste quite the same as those you remember from your childhood when someone else made them, even if the same recipe is […]

Lack of Motion

The problem with living where I do is that everything is calm. The most disturbing thing around is the wind moving flowers and leaves about. Normally this would be a relaxing environment that is pleasant to photo…but this week I need things in motion to make my photography assignment work. The most dynamic and moving […]

Missing What Is In Front of Me

I have been waiting for a package to arrive from Orion for the past 8 days, today it arrived. From another place, Adorama, I ordered a part as well, it arrived on Tuesday. I ordered both parts on the same day, believing that the parts were compatible parts that needed each other to function. The […]
