  • Tiny Turf Wars

    ,

    Check out this little guy we found stuffing his face with bird seed in the driveway this morning. This chipmunk is a relatively new tenant that lives in the flower garden by our home. He has recently taken to raiding the feeders and other areas where sunflower seed is left, much to the chagrin of…

  • Come Along, Deer

    ,

    We’ve had an unusually high number of deer sightings in our backyard this year. I think this morning marked the third or fourth time we have seen at least two deer in our back yard; mothers and their young or mated couples. This morning it was a pair of deer, one buck and one doe.…

  • Perforce: Still Secretly in Love with It

    I began using Perforce (they call it “Helix Core” now, which I will never accept) for change management starting at ATX Forms circa 2003. More than 20 years later I still favor it, for better or worse, over modern and far more popular — and arguably more capable — tools like Git. This post started…

  • Frog and Toad

    ,

    When my kids were little they used to love bedtime stories. We still have a collection of their books in our little library. One of their favorite series of books was Frog and Toad. I’ve taken several photos of the family of toads that hang out in our driveway every night during the summer. Last…

  • Textures and Impressions

    ,

    Here is a small collection of photos I took today. I made it a point to take the camera with me (with a 50mm lens) and just shoot things that caught my eye.

  • Caribou at Dusk

    ,

    Here are a few photos of Caribou last Tuesday. It was around dusk and there were some specific photos I wanted to take — local businesses on Bennet Drive at dusk, when there is still some daylight, but all the storefronts and signs are lit (those that are still open after 8pm).

  • Something About Change and Decay

    ,

    I took a short walk during my lunch break today to snap a few photos. I’m not sure what I find so fascinating about taking photos of the crumbling parts of town. Maybe it’s the way things change over time; nothing ever stays the same forever, which I guess is how anything acquires any value.…

  • Good morning, Jeannie

    Here is a video I threw together this morning while waiting for Jeannie to pee. Then I had Braden produce some music for it using Ableton Live.

  • Photo Habit

    ,

    Here are some photos I took at random over the past couple of weeks, both at home and on the road for work. As per usual, a disproportionate number of all the photos I took over that time period were of our dog, Jeannie, but I’ll spare you most of those — except for this…

  • Ye Olde Internet — I miss it

    Strap in. This elder millennial is about to yell at some clouds. I’ve been feeling this for quite a while and pretty deeply in recent years — the idea that we’ve lost something magical about the “old” internet as we barrel towards a more AI corrupted dystopic enabled future. Who am I kidding? We’re already…
