Follow UpsAfter my post about Terrorist Alert Orange and the harassment I received for taking public domain snaps on public property, I received a ton of helpful links from peeps about my rights as a photographer. The best one comes via kottke.org and explains “Your Rights When Stopped or Confronted for Photography“. Unfortunately, I’m not …

God Hates Dangling ModifiersThis morning while watching the second round of the French Open on ESPN2, I feasted on some Limited Edition Incredible Hulk Cereal. It’s basically like Corn Pops cereal punctuated with Hulk inspired marshmallow combinations. There’s a beaker shaped marshmallow that is supposedly half filled with the mystery chemical that turns Bruce Banner …
How The West Was Won Dancing days are here again. The sun is still shining and I’ve got Led Zepplin III on the Hi-Fi thanks to a high impact shipment from the west. I’ve got the White Rock Itch. Yesterday I played The Replacements, Hootenanny, back to back for about three hours. What great music. …
New Day Rising Boy, it could not be any more beautiful outside today. What a great memorial day weekend. Tons of sun, tons of fun. There must be thousands of students pleading with their teachers to hold class outside today. So good to unplug for a few days. I went to my first ever traditional …

I asked a horribly annoyed clerk if they had Glenn E. Friedman’s book The Idealist, which came back …

Last night I finally had a chance to look over the names of the speakers coming to Minneapolis and realized that I didn’t know a great deal of them or their work. The typecon2003 site where the list …

Waiting for the Up’s ManI’m sitting around eating from a large bowl of red grapes, wondering when the UPS guy will come by. His note, left on my mailbox yesterday said he’d be here before 10:30 this morning. I figured I’d just wait around for him. I’ve already missed him twice and if I don’t …
Garage Sale Days RevisitedMy neighbor was at it again this weekend. Hosting what she calls her ‘annual’ garage sale. But I checked my post of the last time I wrote about this and it was on October 5th of last year. Either this years sale is early or she’s planning on sneaking a couple more …
