Polaroid, only MOSTLY dead.

The news of Polaroid film no longer being manufactured ripped through the photographic community in a way that no other piece of news since the advent of digital photography. The digital age has had many victims, but when one of the victims is choice - that is when it hurts the most. But perhaps we’re [...]

Looking for Photos

These are a few of my notes from my trip in late May through early June 2008 to Greece, England, Scotland, and the US state of Georgia. I’ve been rewriting the notes and adding different thoughts and turning scribbled freehand code-like notes into legible, and hopefully comprehendible articles. I’ve also had quite a bit of [...]

Meeting Gene

Gene and I hit it off immediately. We’re both a little sarcastic, both think fairly highly of ourselves, and both work as hard as we can to be valuable to those that hire us to do a job. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Oh our meeting wasn’t by coincidence. The company I was working for [...]

    Time, as they say, is finite. Others would argue that it is infinite, but I digress. What I do know is that my time, the time that I have for myself, is indeed rather finite. That is why I chose to re-watch every single episode of LOST to-date.

    I’ve been looking for a great metaphor to describe the American people’s refusal, ignorant or blatant, to act against those who are destroying our country, that we elected, and I saw one tonight as I was catching up on the news and blogs and forums that I follow:
    I’m becoming increasingly convinced that bandied-about “issues” like [...]

    First, initial placement: starting out you need two wood, two brick, one sheep, one wheat. This nets you at least a road and a settlement on your first turn, before the dice are even rolled.  You need to be able to build a road and a settlement on the first turn like a web, so [...]

    Tonight, if you weren’t watching, the House of Not-So-Representatives passed the GM-Chrysler bailout, with the vote coming in at 237 yes to 170 no votes. Billions gone down into yet another black hole. This bailout is only a little better than the previous bailout Congress voted on.
