I'm relieved. Glad the socially sanctioned flame-war is over. Glad that my job and health care aren't being threatened.

But I'm no fanboy. I expect better things from those who are chosen by The People on both sides of the "aisle". Last night I felt compelled to jot down some of my specific thoughts on what bothers me most. Leave a comment  2 

I've joined 500px.com which has been fun an intimidating. It's filled with real photographers posting amazing work. I love scrolling through the new pics being posted and seeing what people are doing ( Read more... )

Well, I had my first kinda gig as a photographer last week. My regular job is an IT grunt, but the Graphic Artist/Media person knows of my hobby and tapped me to be a photographer at our Convention. I also did a little video and my regular tech support stuff. Busy as hell, but I racked up some good OT ( Read more... )

I've been cutting back on coffee (not quitting, mind you) and it's helped my blood pressure. I've also nearly quit diet pop. I've been having a lot of green tea and water. This morning, though, I'm stylin' like Picard.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Well, it seems LoudTwitter is broken again. Oh, well. If anyone's left reading this, you're probably tired of my endless photo links. Heh. Actually, it gets worse!

A friend kind of reminded me about Flickr. I'd all but forgotten I even had an account there but she added me as a contact. iPhoto makes it easy to up a folder of new pics at the same time I'm upping to Facebook ( Read more... )

Last night, my 3-yr old boy told me "I like you, Daddy!" and I smiled and said "oh, yeah?" and he said "yeah, you're awesome!"

Then he went on to say he also likes Mommy and Katy and Joel.

Sunday morning the family came into my room and brought me some presents. Joel picked out a construction car set for us to share, a gooey ball thingummy you throw at the wall and it slowly crawls down the wall, also for us to share. Katy got me this neat water bottle with Haida killerwhale designs on it. It's got a nice metal bottom and cap ( Read more... )

Well last night wrapped up Celebration 2010. My Mom LOVED Celebration and singing, drumming and dancing and learning/teaching our language and traditions. Some of the best times of her life were doing those things. So this year was a bit emotional for me. Katy is in a dance group so she got to perform. Kristin made a beautiful button ( Read more... )
