Photos

I started taking more pictures, one of the things I wanted to do more of this year. I figured I should actually take a good look at the camera I own and maybe use it for more than just family photos and up-close Lego shots. There's actually a lot you can do with it.

I heard a segment on NPR last week where a group of friends were taking a single photograph, every day at 7:15. Which sounded pretty neat.

I don't actually think it's sustainable, but I'm going to give it a wack. I'm going to take the broad approach; not waiting for a specific time, or a specific subject matter. The only requirement I'm giving myself is to take at least one photograph taken within a 24-hour span (12:00AM–11:59PM), everything else is wide open. I'm not even going to force myself to post it everyday, just that it gets taken (although I am going to try to post them). Like I said, I expect not to complete this. I've got 4 days already and the first full, work week is about to start, but what the hell. If you want to see how far I get, drop me an email and I'll send you the link.

New Year's Resolutions

· Get that other site up and running. It's been a year already, does it really have to be two?

· Bind a book. Bind several books. Just try some binding, damnit.

· Spend less time on the computer. I have enough porn. ... Maybe.

· Use more of my Lego collection as God intended. Making warmachines for BrikWar games that never get played and not its current usage as a dust retention system.

· Take more pictures. At least one a day. Ideally clothed.

· Get more sleep. Six months of operating on fewer than five hours a night is starting to catch up with me in really nasty ways.

· Play more boardgames. I've started to amass a collection that threatens to become the new dust retention system.

· Plant a garden. I want to have something to do this spring that will force me to be outside in some capacity. Of course, there's 4 cords of wood still sitting on my lawn.

· Post more. I let this site slide like a California mudslide. There's some good reasons for that. And some not so good ones. It continues to be the Year of Hell, now heading into its 18th month. I should get that on a tee-shirt.

· Have something to do next New Year's Eve. Sitting around here, figuring out what to write on a blog is no way to spend this holiday, even if it is kind of a lame one.
