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…
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 […]
One Opportunity
Did you read the site? Did you watch the video? Did you sign the declaration? Do you want to do more?
Welcome, Fr3der1cK
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 […]
Every Three Seconds, a Person Dies
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 […]
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 […]
Windows On Mac-on-Intel
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 […]
Today’s Photo of Saturday’s Event
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 hit the […]
Suburban Barriers
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 […]
