Once upon a time, this site had a tab for my pho­tog­ra­phy. I bought a new cam­era last year and took a great many pic­tures with it. I offloaded them to my hard drive, and there they sit to this very day.

My good friend Mike teases me about this. Reminds me that I’ve not uploaded a sin­gle pic­ture from our last year’s worth of pho­towalks. Clearly the shame has taken hold; I’ve started to orga­nize my pho­tos and pre­pare them to upload to my Flickr account.

There­fore, sub­mit­ted for your delight and com­ment, some of my favorite pho­tos from my photostream:

Jef­fers smiled. “The sub­jects have been told that they will be going under a new form of ther­apy. We hook them up to our device, and then induce mem­o­ries that are emo­tion­ally rel­e­vant to the energy level we want to cap­ture. As you might expect, the more dif­fi­cult and com­plex emotions…anger, betrayal, and despair pro­duce the strongest and most effi­cient energy.”

A Modern Father’s Morning Paper

This morn­ing in The Secret Lair, I talk about how a mod­ern man reads his morn­ing paper:

Like any mod­ern per­son who is well-versed in the ways of the Inter­net, I know that I can get bet­ter news, more timely, more inter­est­ing, more cus­tom tai­lored to my needs by sub­scrib­ing to a num­ber of RSS feeds and social stream instead of sub­scrib­ing to my local news­pa­per.  The hitch in the plan has always been the laptop…I dis­like hav­ing the lap­top and key­board in front of me when read­ing.  The rea­son is purely psy­cho­log­i­cal: as some­one who spends all day in front of a tra­di­tional com­puter, I pre­fer that my off-time be a lap– and desk-top free as possible.

I have no inten­tion telling you what I want to accom­plish this year.

I’m not list­ing any projects, any promises, any res­o­lu­tions. I have them, sure, but I’m not telling you what they are.

We denizens of the Inter­webs, we talk so very much. Talk is cheap.  Social net­works are easy, full of sound and fury, amount­ing to very, very lit­tle in the end.

You will only hear about what I’m doing this year when it is com­plete.  Until then, it’s not worth talk­ing about.
