Next to my web browser, I guess iTunes is the most-used application on my system. Come to think of it, I may actually use iTunes…
Generated by Wordle from a poem by Krystal G., a sixth-grade girl in downtown Indianapolis. Here’s a couple other Wordles I made:
I was going to say “be there or be square,” but since this thing is organized by bloggers the opposite probably applies. (You know, because…

It’s taken a couple months, but I’ve finished uploading 700+ photos to my Less Old Stuff set; I’m calling this digital excavation project complete.
Bad news everywhere. The sunken barge shifted in the Mississippi last night, spilling yet more oil into the river. Stacy Head (my Council rep) is attacking Jerome Smith for no good reason. Derrick “Saggy Pants” Shepherd is going down in flames.
But I don’t care, because I got a new monitor at work.
Actually, I got the monitor a couple weeks ago, only to discover to my chagrin that I couldn’t get full resolution without a graphics card upgrade. So it’s been sitting to the side, unplugged, until today.
The card has arrived, and I am rocking four megapixels.
Here is some random audio mess I mixed up lately.
Three years ago, I became aware of a collaborative poster project which made use of a couple of photographs I’d published under a Creative Commons…
I’d like to start a campaign to recognize July 7th as National ROX Day, because — Well, I think we all know what happened on…
I started taking digital pictures with increasing frequency after moving to New Orleans in 1999. But I didn’t start using Flickr in earnest until sometime in 2004.
So now I am bridging that gap. Over the last month or so, in what is laughingly referred to as my “free time,” I’ve managed to excavate 260 photos from the depths of my hard drive, covering the time from July 15, 1999 to December 31, 2001. I’ve uploaded them to Flickr as part of a set I call Less Old Stuff (in contrast to Really Old Stuff).
This grouping encompasses a number of other photo clusters, such as the aforementioned Day 991016, Thanx00, Xmas00, Carnival01, and Day 011027. There’s also the painfully artsy Dead Gas Station, the experimental Lunar Variations, the amusing-only-to-me Sliptych and a set documenting the local Greens moving in to an office in Gert Town. And who could forget 2001 The Space Odyssey?
Here are a few of my personal favorites to whet your appetite:

I was sorting through some old photos the other day, and I came across a set taken on October 16, 1999. As I looked at…

I’m back at work today after a three-month leave. It feels weird to be sitting in my office instead of taking care of baby or sweating some renovation details.
It seems today is also my boss’ birthday. Funny thing, her husband is a local blogger, but she doesn’t read his blog as a rule, just like my wife doesn’t read my blog. After a talk we had last year, my boss said she wouldn’t read this blog either, because we agreed it could produce some odd dynamics and also what’s the point of reading someone’s blog when you see them every day?
Of course, over the past months I haven’t seen much of my co-workers, so this blog may have been a good way for them to catch up on my life. But I do sincerely hope that my boss isn’t reading this now…
Haven’t had much chance to read blogs lately, but I went over to Cliff’s Crib Saturday night and what I read there about his weekends post-Katrina really knocked me for a loop.
A couple years ago, I promised myself that when my MP3 collection hit 10,000 I’d pause for reflection. But that pause never happened. Now I’ve…
