A collection of photography and exploration focusing on Upstate South Carolina and beyond.
Early Saturday morning four of us who post to Flickr met up at Furman for a photowalk as part of the Exposure.Greenville! Flickr group. Photographers Eric Morris (Rested Traveler), Pher Reinman (PU Skunk) and Patrick Greer (linkerjpatrick) joined me next to the lake at a very early 8:30 AM so that we could catch the … Read More “Furman Flickr Foto Foursome” »
This weekend was Homecoming at Furman, and it was an anniversary for Laura and I. We first met the Friday evening of Homecoming twenty years ago. Back then, Homecoming was held in mid-October rather than the first of November, so the actual date was October 16. To commemorate, we did our traditional walk down the … Read More “Homecoming Anniversary” »
When I did my presentation “Geotag This! Adding Location to Learning” at EdTech I wanted to give examples of geotagging different types of media, not just photographs. With the new YouTube layer now available in Google Earth, it was easy to demonstrate how to geotag video, and with GeoRSS feeds now available, I was able … Read More “GeoPodcasting – Adding Location to Audio” »

Saturday was the App State game, and quite honestly I hoped that it just wouldn’t be a total blow-out. It wasn’t pretty, and App did win, but Furman tried a rally late in the game. … Read More “Furman Paladins 2007” »
Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance ‘neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I’m trying to please to the calling Of your … Read More “Moondance” »
A long, tiring drive from Myrtle Beach, and when I get to my own street, this is what I found… It was a bit of a surprise. As tired as I was, I grabbed a camera and walked around the neighborhood to see what other signs there might be. I guess they really are going … Read More “A Sign of the Times” »
Well, today certainly was mixed. I was up very early getting my gear packed and checked out of the hotel. I arrived at the convention center in plenty of time to check out the room, and get acclimated to the smell of mold. We’re in a different room for this morning’s presentations, and there is … Read More “EdTech 2007 – Last Day” »
When I’m presenting at conferences, it often leaves very little time for actually attending conference sessions. There are nine concurrent sessions. Of those, I’m presenting during three of them, and trying to get ready for those presentations during most of the others. Regardless, I was able to catch a few. This year Google Earth and … Read More “A Very Spatial Edtech 2007” »
