A collection of photography and exploration focusing on Upstate South Carolina and beyond.
OK, here’s the idea. Some guy takes a picture of his cat and posts it to a web page. Someone else takes a picture of his or her cat looking at the first cat on the web page, then uploads that image to said webpage. Another person takes a picture of their cat looking at … Read More “The Infinite Cat” »
Saturday night we tried Jordan’s Restaurant in University Square, near Furman University. Here’s the review… Atmosphere: The location was a surprise. Situated on the edge of Berea in University Square, this space once housed a Sub Station II, then a Pizza Inn, both of which I hung out in while at Furman. Most recently, it … Read More “Review – Jordan’s Restaurant” »
The new website is now active (Duh, obviously). This site features a much more interactive weblog than my old site, while keeping things lean and clean. The other site turn into self-indulgent blathering, was over-designed, and cumbersome. I make no guarantees about this site, but at least the blathering will be categorized. I also don’t … Read More “New site is online” »
Another weekend has come and gone, and the work week is back in full swing. Sunday afternoon’s concert went well, too. I ran into two former teachers/colleagues from Laurens 55 who had come for the concert, so it was great catching up with them. I am always fascinated by the sound of a live orchestra. … Read More “” »
Happy Mother’s Day! Another busy, but beautiful weekend — rehearsals Friday night, Saturday morning, and a performance Saturday night occupied most of my weekend. The music finally came together for the performance. There were only a few glaring mistakes. Edvard Tchzival is fun to watch from this side of the stage. I wonder if he … Read More “” »
I attended the Furman Retirement dinner last night, which honored three of my favorite professors – Dr. Albert Blackwell, Dr. Glen Clayton, and Dr. Tom Cloer. Oddly enough, I didn’t have much contact with any of these while an undergrad, but developed a relationship with each after Furman. Albert Blackwell founded and directed the Quodlibet … Read More “End of a Furman Era” »
I have a new website…. www.RandomConnections.com will be online shortly. The new site will be the host for my web log (which will be replicated here, as it always has) but I wanted something without my name plastered all over the place. I’ll move my workshop information to the new site, and leave all my … Read More “New things on the horizon…” »
So how, exactly, does one become an Internet Icon? I guess I could design a Tron Costume, or do something equally foolish. As I’ve turned my attention by to this website, I’ve been wondering what cool service I might offer that would make people actually want to come back. I did a Google search for … Read More “” »
If you haven’t, go right now and rent the movie Amelie and watch it. It’s got subtitles, but don’t be scared. We’ve held my nephew’s copy hostage since Christmas, and I really should get it back to him. We watched it again last night and was delighted once again. Today was a very productive day … Read More “” »
…especially when it cancels out work-related activities. I went on over to the SCALE site yesterday, only to hear the decision that the Sunday GALA would be cancelled due to the rain. I came on home and Laura and I did a quick shopping run, then the rest of the afternoon was spent in a … Read More “I Love a Rainy Day” »
