I stopped by today to answer a comment question and realized my site was being redirected elsewhere. I had to drop my blogroll because they were inserting redirect code. That’s bit low. I’ll leave it off for now. I don’t need any traffic and I doubt that it’s helping anyone else. So apparently I was gone for a while but now I’m back. The site is still tragically out of date.
The question was asked if I was still here. Yes I am! I’m doing well. Doing a lot of artwork of various kinds. I’ve been doing a lot of photography for the last few years. I’ve always done some, but my muse seems to have turned more that direction of late. I’m considering reinventing this site as some sort of photo-blog. I’m thinking I would feature other outdoor photographers more than my own work, but I’m still undecided. If anyone has any thoughts on what a good site featuring outdoor photography should be, I’d love to hear it.
Months ago someone sent me a link to some beautiful desert photos. I should have linked to these months ago, but better late than never. Go take a look at the Desert near Riyadh.
Jan’s been out playing in the rain. Go take a look. I always like her photography, but the video really hit home for me. Made me feel like I was there, and wish I was there.
I don’t know why I relate to this, but I really do. Maybe it’s his obsessive nature, maybe it’s the history behind the objects of his obsession, I don’t know. He may be strange, but this is the kind of person that makes sense to me. I’m a little afraid of what that says about me.
Done any traveling, and have pictures you’d like to post? Photos don’t have to be of the high desert, but I’m fond of remote areas that take some work to see. If you have something like that, drop me a comment and we can discuss putting something up. If you already have your own blog, I’d be happy to link to appropriate posts. I would like to post at least one teaser image per post.
I keep saying I’m going to start blogging again… and yet I don’t. Just can’t seem to find my muse. Working, reading, enjoying the weather. Yes, I actually do like Winter. Nothing quite as these guys though. Beautiful dogs, beautiful photography.
LeVar Burton is blogging. He’s only done two posts so far, but they were a surprise. He’s the first celebrity blogger I know of who actually seems to understand the concept of blogging. Nicely written in a very personal, yet not too personal way. He’s writing about what he knows, and interests him. He’s even taking the time to do audio versions of his posts. Nicely done Mr. Burton, keep up the good work, and good luck with stopping smoking.
Today is the beginning of a new era. A time of change. A glorious new beginning… Politics aside, we now have a President who understands the power of the internet. As of 12:01 p.m. EST, White House dot gov has a new look.
Powered by some form of ASP, it’s a valid XHTML site. Getting a Microsoft based site to validate is an impressive feat all by itself, but this one is done with style. As well as the usual stuff you’d expect on a government site, they’ve included a blog and photo galleries. Not only included the blog and galleries, but made them the face of the site. Rotating imagery, dynamic content, and enough RSS feeds to satisfy even… me.
I have to admit, I’m rather impressed. Who really knows how the Presidency will go, but I like the start. Neat, clean and very professional looking. You could almost say, Presidential.
My hat is tipped to the designer. Beautifully done.
I had no intention of sleeping through 2008 when I decided to take a blogging break, but it happened. You get out of the habit of blogging, and time passes. I’m starting to feel like bloggin again. Something different though. Not quite sure what yet. I might even wipe the slate clean and start the site over, I haven’t decided yet.
This looks interesting. Google is jumping into the browser game with a browser called “Chrome”. They have some good ideas, I hope their product stands up to their hype. This has been in the works for quite a while, but I for one never thought they’d ever release it. I’ll be happy to be wrong if this is released as expected.
In its most frontal and aggressive attack on Microsoft yet, sources with knowledge of the project said Google is preparing to unveil a new browser – ready for download to users as early as tomorrow – to try to loosen Microsoft’s iron grip on the most important piece of software to navigate the Internet.
Also interesting is their form of news release… a comic book. Didn’t see that coming.
This makes me want to quit painting. Not really, but Esref Armagan really makes you think, doesn’t he? I’m fascinated by how he can keep track of what he’s done.

An email from Ireland to the brethren in the States… a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:
We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States. On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can’t keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run.
Now…On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate Mc terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What in Lords name are ye lads thinking over there in the colonies?
Filed under both humor and politics… is that redundant?
But I’ve read the dismissal letter three times now, and each time it makes me more angry. Because I haven’t been given my freedom of the press. I’ve simply had the government censor approve what I said. That’s a completely different thing.
