Nope, no marsh to be found
Yesterday I went to shoot photos just off of a highway near my house, a place that I have wanted to shoot for at least a month. Each time I drove by this spot, in the little view of the area that I had while exiting the highway, it looked like there was a marsh

Photoshop my friend Andrew
Ok so, the album cover art wasn’t real, if you haven’t already figured that out. I had a lot of fun for the few minutes it took to put the cover art together and so I thought you might want to also take a crack at it. Photoshop my friend Andrew I’ve created a zip

The longest set of directions on Google Maps
The image above is, supposedly, the longest set of driving directions that you can find on Google Maps. Some guy named Alan Taylor has taken the time to figure this out, and although you could custom drag a longer set of driving directions, he’s pretty sure this is the farthest one. While other countries, and

My friend Andrew approached me to do something I’ve wanted to do for some time; design album cover art.

Please use the suggestion and money boxes
Help expand my echo, echo, echo chamber, please. I try to link to things I find interesting in hopes that you too will find them interesting. However, my view of the world is as narrow as my own two eyes – and so I’m hoping you’ll help me find even more interesting things to link

Public night at the Astronomical Observatory
Last night Keystone College’s Thomas G. Cupillari Astronomical Observatory was open to the public, and so Eliza, Chris, Andrew, and I took the short ride out to take advantage of the exceptionally clear skies.
