I had barely started Steven Johnson‘s 2001 book Emergence last night – indeed I was still in the first two dozen or so pages – when the TV show my wife was watching caught my ear. The Screen Actors Guild awards show was showing clips from Crash and giving a short description of it’s premise. […]

Two Faces
Two photos from this weekend’s band fund-raiser, an all night Rock-A-Thon. click on either for a larger version Neither are the greatest portrait in the world, but it was somewhere around 2am in a high school cafeteria. More pictures can be seen here.
Milton High School
Yesterday I posted sunrise light. Here’s the sunset light.
Milton High School
Alpharetta’s “new” Milton High School shines in a brisk January morning’s sunrise. This certainly isn’t an abandoned building, though the fate of the “old” building has yet to be completely determined.
Two Abandoned Buildings
It’s been a few days since I made the time and effort to make sure I had the camera with me, but today I got a few shots. These two buildings were both about 20 meters off the road, the sort of thing your eyes might see but that you might not really notice as […]
Steven Johnson Speaks on Everything Bad…

As with so many sites, the design and coding aren’t 100% complete done for launch — the web is as “finished” on any […]
Every Three Seconds, a Person Dies

I don’t know if the number he gave is still a good one or not, but the organization’s there. Check out One.org, watch the video, read Bono’s Q&A [NY Times registration […]
What’d Bono Say?
I was watching the Vertigo concert DVD (thank you, Brennan) the other night, and at one point Bono puts on a bandana with some graffiti. As I transcribed his comments (yea, I do strange things sometimes), I wasn’t able to hear completely and missed one or more words – see the quote below. When I […]
