I Accidentally My Kindle

On May 13, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Love. I accidentally love my Kindle.

I’ve been completely disinterested in the e-book phenomenon. I like reading, I get books cheaply, I read them, it works out. I love buying used books, ex-library books with card pockets in the front and exotic stamps from places like “Ohio” and “Florida.” I can set a cup [...]

Let’s try this again

On May 12, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Hello. I’m back.

I’m going to start blogging again, I’ve had enough of a break to put some energy into it and other writing projects and exercises leave me wanting more outlets that I’ve got, so here goes. Meanwhile, I did set up a photography website as I mentioned I’d probably do first. We’ve had [...]

shutting down for a little while

On April 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I haven’t posted much lately, partly because not much has been going on that would be interesting to write about, and partly because I’m probably going to shut the blog down and rethink it.

I’ve got almost no chance of landing the gig, a monthly retainer project reviewing and writing about digital photography, but just taking the leap of faith to apply feels good.

It’s [...]

Hopi folklore and deus ex machina

On August 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’ve been reading a compilation of Hopi stories called Hopi Stories of Witchcraft, Shamanism, and Magic. It’s mostly been a lot of fun, and the stories come straight from transcriptions of Hopi storytellers hoping to document their endangered oral tradition. There are some puzzling editing choices; I’ve come across 3 sets of stories [...]

Connections, mileposts and portents

On July 22, 2008 · 2 Comments

After feeling sort of uncentered for the last several years, I feel like I’ve started to get some direction. I mean, in day to day life, it’s not like I sit in a corner rocking back and forth and moaning or something, but I’ve missed a sort of “big picture” sense of my past connecting [...]
