A collection of photography and exploration focusing on Upstate South Carolina and beyond.
First, Office Max I spotted a pretty good deal in the OfficeMax sale circular this afternoon, so I headed off to get a replacement for Laura’s defunct computer. When I got to the store, I didn’t see a single desktop or laptop anywhere. Turns out they don’t carry computers at all anymore. Great. I drove … Read More “Two Tech Rants” »
hawk2 Seems a pair of hawks has decided to nest in a tree just across from our house. They really are amazing to watch. This shot was taken with an old Nikkormat camera using a Celestron C90 spotting scope and T-mount for a lens.

It would seem that Bauer has updated his MySpace page. There was a follow-up article in this morning’s Greenville News… Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer’s personal Web page at MySpace.com picked up considerable sobriety Thursday as bikini photos and a link to a racy discussion group vanished, replaced by earnest political discussion. That may well be, … Read More “Andre Bauer Update” »

This has mostly been due to his reckless driving skills and the fact that he seems to be ticket-proof, even when driving at high speeds through residential areas. Bauer is rumored to have a ferocious temper, and even had one … Read More “Our Cyber-Savvy Lt. Governor” »

A quick Google search points out how highly unoriginal that would be. Seems there aren’t too many words beginning with V that would make sense in this context. At … Read More “V is for…” »
A couple of years ago I posted a list of things that would have already come to past if science fiction were true (Yesterday’s Tomorrows, 2004). Along these same lines, and courtesy of BoingBoing, I found The Movie Timeline. This timeline doesn’t limit itself to scifi, but includes all movie fiction. In the words of … Read More “Alternate Timelines” »

The show would focus … Read More “OK, So You’re Bound and Determined to Podcast” »
I got home from FETC, emptied my suitcase, then Laura filled it with her things. Today she headed off for an ACS conference through Wednesday, leaving me on my own for awhile. At least we got to see each other for a few hours. This morning’s sermon at Fourth dealt with Peter’s denial. This made … Read More “The Sword of Peter” »
Safely home from FETC, I was able finally to process some of the information I had been getting at the conference.
