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 photos from this weekend’s band fund-raiser, an all night Rock-A-Thon.

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.
Yesterday I posted sunrise light.
Here’s the sunset light.
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.
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 you […]
A while back I wrote about Steven B. Johnson’s book Everything Bad Is Good For You. Last night an interview with him was shown on the Charlie Rose show, and now it’s available for viewing here (about 45 minutes in).
After you watch the interview, of course I recommend you go read the book. It’s probably […]
Did you read the site?
Did you watch the video?
Did you sign the declaration?
Do you want to do more?
Friday I had the good fortune of being asked to help build a new website/weblog, and so yesterday was a pretty darn productive day*.
Please welcome Fr3der1cK to the world of blogging. As with so many sites, the design and coding aren’t 100% complete done for launch — the web is as “finished” on any given […]
During the concert Bono also makes an empassioned plea for aid to help reduce poverty, asking everyone who’s concerned to send a text message. 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 […]
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 […]
Ever since Steve Jobs announced that they’d be moving to Intel chips, one of the major questions on people’s minds (well, geeks’ minds) has been “Will we be able to run Windows on an Intel Mac?”
The Apple party line at MacWorld seems to be “we won’t support that” - which is completely fair and understandable, […]
I was cautioned about the Photo-A-Day goal not to set the bar too high; “Picture a day means lots of editing. Great if you have the time EVERY day. Don’t set a goal too high, work your way up to daily.” That’s ok, I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t […]
The property fence of one subdivision hides a silt barrier around an ugly vacant lot — but only from the residents of the subdivision, not from passersby on the main street.
This wasn’t really the photo I’d stopped for; there are two water towers in the distance, visible through some trees, and I was intreagued by […]
I’m joining Tommy W. and others who’ve put forth a resolution to capture at least one image every day.
Today I stopped by to see what’s left of a friend’s house. While we were gone for Christmas vacation, Scott had a fire at his house. This is what’s left of the carport. The wall to the […]
Andrew Kantor, USA Today: New digital camera? Know how, where you can use it
With all these cameras snapping around us, I started to wonder about the laws regarding using them. Where can you shoot? What can you shoot?
Mr. Kantor’s a writer, not a lawyer, though his research seems to be pretty much in agreement with […]
I’ve tried to get more in the habit of carrying my camera around more, shooting on a more regular basis rather than just taking it to specific events. This Christmas vacation was a good time for that, just keeping my eyes open and taking pictures of whatever I saw. Here’s a view out the passenger […]
