American Life in Poetry: Sign up!
Ted Kooser, who happens to be one of my favorite poets is heading an initiative called American Life in Poetry – a free weekly column for newspapers. But here’s the bonus – anyone can sign up. Publishers of blogs count, but it’s also open to individuals as well. Free poetry in the mail, what could…
Open Source Video: Help Contribute!
My friend Matt is looking for contributors to his Open Source Video project. You can grab still images from the movie, or submit new ones of your own. And best of all? This project will be appearing at a gallery at the end of March! For those of you who are designers, here’s a chance…
Alleyway
I had my camera out today for the first time in what feels like a long time. As I was walking home, I looked up and spotted a few errant balloons, caught in some wires. I was reminded of the many photos I took of old or lost balloons, especially the one that made me…
Wendy and Celia
A friend of mine from way, WAY back contacted me through MySpace last week. Wendy and I went to high school together, and spent a year singing in the school’s show choir (aka “Counterpoints”).

Spontenaeity
Got a call from Dave about an hour ago, letting me know that Jason B (of Found Magazine fame) is back in town. He’s rented a room at the Hotel Monaca that’s known as “The Party Like You’re a Rock and Roll Star Room.” Or something like that. I thought about staying in and doing…
This is only meaningful to about 5 people
But I’m posting it anyways. This gets no explanation. It’s more of a marker, commemorating the birth of an idea. Only time will tell if I get to look back on this day and explain it all to you.
On the way to work
This wasn’t my original idea, but on zooming in to a pic I took, I found this dizzying series of lines intersectiing one another. Early morning meeting.
