This concept could be big. Huge. Whilst looking for something else this morning, I opened a sealed box. Besides finding my Masters thesis and a box of old black and white print photos, I found this box of HyperCard diskettes, still sealed inside their protective plastic holder. The box is dated 1987, and the paper […]
Aren’t those shirts pretty? And they are part of a web site I made recently representing courses to be offered starting August at Virginia Commonwealth University. I could not be more stoked to be part of another big, unfolding as we develop it, projects with Gardner Campbell and Company at VCU. Last year I helped […]
I am pretty sure there must be one of those Words that Have No English Translation for “fatigue of writing family tribute posts.” The photo shows flowers I picked from my own garden to visit someone I shall not see again. Nancy is my ex’s mother. While those two do not have a relationship, Nancy […]
Bad Alan. This has been lingering in the to do pile too long. On my route home from Canada last month, I made it a specific point to make my last stop in St George Utah, to visit Carl Berger. He’s been retired from University of Michigan for some time, but that does not mean […]
I have fallen in love. With a city. Well, it may have been more of a whirlwind romance last week in Guadalajara, Mexico. But we get to date again in July an December. How this all happened is one of those series of unlikely fortunate chains of serendipity, going back a few months to my […]
Yesterday, Dad, you would have been 89. I could accurately call you “old man” then? I imagine this 1926 era photo of you was taken in a photography studio, and did not launch a career as a shady film star. The clarity and wonder in your eyes is always what captured by attention in this […]
Our sees see the world in wide and deep detail. Some of the magic, to me, of photography is that we use the frame of the lens to crop out just a portion. I’ve tried to see it, is in a way, creation by deletion (strangely producing no google search results, though Newspaper Blackout poetry […]
My “involvement” in #rhizo15 is pretty much listening to the tea leaves in twitter, today’s bits had a fair bit of rumbling about “Content is People!” When I read Simon’s post I really had expectations of a DEVO song. But in reading/watching Dave’s question about the Myth of Content, the “people are content” thing is […]
That dog in the photo? I don’t know her, but according to the flickr author, Rosie has a respectable life philosophy: Rosie says keep trying your best – it’s fun! Speaking of fun and trying to be best, maybe the thing I made that I am most proud of is my flickr improv tool pechaflickr– […]
That dog named “Loki” is not rolling over, she is flipping (?) In my last post, I suggested questioned perhaps that The Chronicle of Higher Education was not following the guidelines of reusing my flickr Creative Commons Share-ALike licensed photo. With some twitter nudges by Bryan Alexander, I did get an answer from the Chronicle […]
