Project 366 for 2012
Project365 – a photo a day. A simple concept; take a picture every day for a year. Share with friends. See where the year takes you. I completed Project365 in 2010 thanks to encouragement from a few friends. After taking this year off, I’m ready to try again in 2012. I’m looking for others to join me. You don’t need … Continue reading
G33k W33k
One week. The time between when all presents are open and New Years resolutions begin. Kids are off from school. Work is slow, if you go at all. The weather is usually questionable, so most choose to stay inside. A perfect week to geek out. When friends mentioned they had off from both work and family obligations, I decided to … Continue reading
30 Days – Just Write
After taking the month of October off from my 30-Day challenge routine, I am getting back in the flow in November. Keeping it simple, some may even say just write.

Plastic garbage bags pepper the sidewalk like a teenager with a bad case of acne. The curbs of the city are littered with cheap particle board furniture, tube televisions, mattresses and couches. … Continue reading
30 Days – Workout Challenge
Mind and body – they are connected. Lately I have neglected exercise more than I should, and I can tell my mind is functioning a little…what’s the word…oh yea, slower. Also this beer gut has gotten a bit out of control. I once was a rabid gym addict, working out 3-5 times per week. Lately I have slacked in my … Continue reading
We all Geek
It’s a Monday night and I’m sitting at a local Madison coffee shop. My Doctor Who TARDIS t-shirt is visible under my button up. The guy at the table next to me is flipping between his laptop and his iPad. The far wall has shelves devoted to books and board games. We are a society of geeks. The term “geek” … Continue reading →
