Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Multi Skilling Keep the Mind Sane
Diversity is fun, but it can get difficult to focus on so many things at once. It's actually what's keeping me away from Facebook. Right now I have my fingers in a bunch of proverbial pies that are starting points to potential virtual end-products. One part of my brain is focusing on a new site... Continue Reading →
Being Very Right
I like proving the vocational assessment I had 3 months ago to be very wrong. Yes, one might say a thing is either wrong or right, there's no place for a combination of the two. To that I'd like to butcher a quote by Stuart, owner of the profitless comic book store on #TheBigBangTheory -... Continue Reading →

Be Prepared to make Mistakes!
Found this TED video, heard this quote within it, and had to tell everyone about it. Particularly you. "If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original."- Sir Ken Robinson But don't just stop there. Listen to the whole video. It is hilarious ... and quite enlightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY... Continue Reading →
Never Buy Cheap Camera Equipment
Seriously, when it comes to dSLR equipment, never go cheap! I bought a 67mm neutral density filter when I was on Kangaroo Island last time I was there. I cannot recall the brand, but I do recall that it was about $15. I should have stopped right there, but I wanted to test some ideas.... Continue Reading →
