I love that picture of Shannon, up above. There were several good one’s from yesterday’s birthday party. But that one… as soon as I saw it pop up on my camera’s screen, I was blown away. Shannon does tend to take great pictures when she’s not scrowling at the camera, Continue Reading
“I did discover today that when you have a photo selected in edit mode. You can command click on the photo to immediately select the white point which also brings up the adjust panel. I have look through the keyboard short cuts and this doesn’t seem to be listed.”
I’ve been away. That is to say, “not available”. (holy fuck I’m sick of the firetrucks) It’s been a month, and it wasn’t particularly fun. One month ago, my computer started to die. My laptop started to die. From the first glitch to the final flash of life from the Continue Reading
I just came back from Artomatic. I was a bit worried with it taking place in Crystal City. Normally it takes place in abandoned buildings in run-down neighborhoods, letting them essentially do whatever they want to the building. But Crystal City is about as uptight, over-developed suburbia as you can Continue Reading
Thanks to everyone who came out to RFD tonight, for the mini-celebration. I took my last pill over dinner. Thanks to everyone who helped me and offered kind words or entertainment while I was less-than-optimal. Thanks to Bryan and Sarah for rides to and from the hospital, and waiting for Continue Reading

Well, it worked faithfully for me, right up until this evening. The certificate expired today, and a new one was issued. You cannot, however, import Continue Reading
I miss winter. Winter in places where it’s really winter, anyway. Winter should be snow in drifts you could lose small people in. Winter should be bone-chilling winds that the best coats and hats can’t keep out. Winter should mean every body of water being hidden beneath an icy blanket Continue Reading
Yeah, I know. It’s a pretty cheesy mirror shot. But it felt right. Five months ago, I tried pretty much the same thing. But I couldn’t lift one arm, and the other was shaking. And within a couple day’s I couldn’t even walk. Time passes, and I feel fine. But Continue Reading
I read a definition of success recently that I really like: Success is when opportunity meets readiness I think the original quote is about Hollywood, but it’s pretty universal, in my opinion. And it’s been very true about my own life. Every major thing that’s happened to me involved a Continue Reading
