the distance between us

Proximity is a determining factor in any relationship. Depending on those involved the effects can be different, but it always matters. The great big Internet is supposed to bring us all closer and make us all local, and it does, to some degree. But in all the ways that it makes the world smaller, it [...]

with three wide open lanes

Writing really is theraputic, so I think I'll keep it up.
Last night was a nice break. I got to hang out and let go with some new people and that's really needed every now and then. Other people ended up staying later than I did but I just decided I was ready to go so [...]

Road Trip planning, part 2

So yesterday I claimed I was going to Lost Maples.
Ha ha hahaha. Just kidding.
Lost Maples an 8 hour drive for me, each way, and I'll have to do it alone which exactly what I don't need right now. Additionally, right now on weekends, Lost Maples has a 3 hour way to get in. So Lost [...]

Road Trip this weekend?

Who wants to go on a Road Trip this weekend? We'd leave Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning and head back Sunday or Monday evening. Hotel, gas, photography equipment and park admission is already covered.
If you follow me on Twitter (as you very well should) you may have witnessed my consideration of making an impromptu [...]

you mean, like, every day?!

I figure, if Kristy can do it then I can because I'm a way better person than her. Ok maybe not.
But I'm going to try anyway. NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)! Sure, I missed two days this month already, but, at least I'm starting you out with the right expectations.
Every time I look at the [...]

yesterday, today, and tomorrow

I enjoy having a packed schedule. It makes the down time more enjoyable and keeps me from wallowing in too much madness. Unfortunately, a packed schedule often comes with the stress of those things that are packing the schedule as well as the guilt that comes with the fact that many of those things pull [...]

Photo Studio Tonight!

I've got my home photo studio setup for a 7:30 to 9:30 session tonight. But since it's already set up, if you'd like to come play too, why not? Any time before 7:30 of after 9:30 will work just fine. Just bring yourself and whatever else you'd like and we'll see what we can do.
Drop [...]

Where's Jim?!

I'm about 15 minutes away from heading out to the Myschievia Work Weekend.
So, this weekend you may be wondering, Where's Jim!?
I threw together a little something to answer just that question. It uses a portable GPS receiver and the mobile network to upload my location on this planet and display it so you can see [...]

weekend recap

Jess helped me move my office around Friday night trying to find a setup that's more fitting and less wasteful. I think I may have found something that works. I'm quite happy about this as it had been a source of frustration for quite a while. The room was unusable as it was and always [...]
