  • Flowers of Longwood Gardens – May 2018

    SET: Flowers of Longwood Gardens I have far too many images to put all into a single set. So I’ll be sharing multiple photosets. Longwood Gardens in early May is an explosion of bloom. I took hundreds of photos of flowers.

  • Zach Leatherman’s garden

    Zach Leatherman: As my own little corner of the web uncermoniously turned ten years old this year, it’s really starting to feel more like a garden than a piece of software. I certainly enjoy tending to it. I can plant what I like and with proper care it can grow into something useful. First, how…

  • Gardening is a violent act

    Harold Jenkins: I’ve long wanted to do a piece on the subject of gardening as violence. Gardening is an extremely violent act. To start a garden you must first kill whatever is already growing in the place you want to garden: cut down trees, tear out vines, rip up or smother sod. Then you break…

  • A small herb garden

    Eliza and I planted a few herbs this past weekend.

  • Rooftop gardening in Bukchon, Seoul, South Korea

    I’m totally jealous and inspired by this woman’s rooftop garden in South Korea. Simple, great use of space, economical, environmental.

  • Winterized garden

    Before, After. Oh, and that rose was nothing to mess with.

  • Our garden, so far

    A quick and very, very dirty panoramic image of our garden so far (as of last week). Watch for a short video from Eliza in the near future. See also: Video: Our backyard, so far.

  • Our first garden, preparation and planting

    Eliza and I have, for as long as I can remember, always wanted a garden. While we’ve always had flower-boxes, pots, small sections of flowers next to our homes, etc. – we’ve never had a garden proper and so we’re excited that this will be our first year of gardening. We live in an apartment…

  • Untitled post 7574

    A few snaps with my phone while browsing a few local antique shops and garden center last weekend.

  • Will Apple’s headset enhance productivity?

    I’ve written several times about mixed reality experiences over the last 6 or 7 years here on my blog. I recently went back and looked at some of those posts and so I thought I’d sum up my thinking as it stands today, as well as detail what I hope to see from Apple’s headset.…

  • I’m getting dangerously close to switching away from WordPress and onto Tuff – my personal static site generator. Like any well tended garden, I’ll need to pick weeds and cast seed, but the important bits are done.

  • Humans, making things, and art

    Kevin Kelly: Humans are born to make stuff. We almost can’t help it. Place us in an empty flat plain and we’ll start building things. Put us on a dried lake bed in the middle of the desert and we’ll build things, take them down and build different stuff next year. We make tools, which make other tools,…

  • Spring 2022: I’m super busy at the day job, six active customers for the side gig, a freelance project that could start any day, a ton of personal projects that I’d love to spend time on, our garden!, and a (much needed) short vacation coming up.

  • 2021 in review: blog and projects

    I thought it would be fun to review what has happened this past year on my blog, what I had set out to do, and what I’ve accomplished. I’m hoping that by writing this post it will give me some clarity on what I may want to try to do in 2022. January In very…

  • What I saw somewhat recently #86: September 11, 2021

    I was recently able to jump on a train and photograph the Engineer. Look for that in my portfolio when I develop the film. Speaking of my photography portfolio, I’ve added several portraits including Max, Anthony, Zombie, and Bill. My goal is far more portraits moving forward. I’d love your feedback on them! You can…

  • AirPods Pro observations

    My wife recently gifted me a pair of AirPods Pro for our 22nd Anniversary which is coming up in a few days. She loves her AirPods. She has repeatedly said “these are my favorite Apple product ever” and she’s owned many products made by Apple including iPhones, Apple Watches, laptops, and iPads — all great…

  • Here I am, in my jammies, appreciating how our garden beds are doing. Thanks @ajennische for starting this thread on your blog.

  • What I saw somewhat recently #81: June 17, 2021

    Saved this garter from the lawn mower A busy spring is coming to a close. A pool, garden beds, lawn care, work, side work, art, the gallery, photography and so much more going on all at once. But somehow it felt very balanced. I’m happy about that. Scratching every itch. This week I have a…

  • Built 3 garden beds this weekend. We were able to move what we started in the mini-greenhouse into the ground. So far, this is what we have going. Tomatoes – 3 types Carrots Squash Green and Red peppers Cabbage Lettuce Red onion White onion Green beans Bunch of herbs Asparagus Strawberries Garlic Raspberries Oh, and…

  • My current photo library management solution

    In this post I’m going to detail out how I manage my photo library. I have changed my workflow countless times over the years and I have the deep battle scars to prove it. I’ve switched services, storage providers, apps, folder structures, metadata schemes, you-name-it. In 2018 I decided to set out on a sort…

  • What I saw somewhat recently #64: April 30, 2020

    Are you enjoying these links? I know I am. Light week. Mostly because I’ve been very busy both professionally and on my photography.

  • Why I’m shooting with film

    Nearly a decade ago Eliza and I began to make our own wine and beer. We started out making quick batches in buckets, carboys, or other small containers. It allowed us to get more familiar with the process of fermenting fruit or barley into one of our favorite drinks. Pressing grapes, 2013 Eventually we graduated…

  • Observations on Oculus Go

    At work we picked up an Oculus Go for research and development purposes. But of course I commandeered the device first to put it through its paces and I think I have a good enough feel for it to write up a few observations. These are, as always, in no particular order. Many of my…

  • Disappearing apps and services

    Alexei Baboulevitch (archagon) in a comment on Hacker News: These indie apps are often marketed as beautiful, wholesome alternatives to grimy corporate or open source software, but how could I possibly rely on these products for essential tasks like note-taking if they’re just going to disappear out from under me in a few years? The…

  • How will the world remember landmark design on the web?

    Jason Santa Maria, on The Pastry Box Project: We talk all the time on our personal and periodical sites about the latest techniques for design, but how often do we break down new designs? I mean really discuss them, not just add them to a gallery of notable sites. Jason was moved to rethink about…

  • Last pick of the season?

    Overall a good season in our small garden. We’re trying to keep it small so that it doesn’t get to be too much to maintain. Next year I plan on the garden yielding about double what it did this year without making it any larger than it is.

  • How to tear down the walls of your echo chamber

    Everyone has an echo chamber that they’ve unwittingly built up around them. Your interests, friends, environment, and location are all factors in determining what your experiences are, what you know, and what you don’t know. It can be limiting. How can you tell if you’re in an echo chamber? Ask yourself; Is your experience and…

  • The liverwurst and onion sandwich

    The sandwich is delicious but I have a feeling Eliza won’t be kissing me for a month.

  • Our backyard, so far

    Eliza and I have been hard at work on our backyard since spring. Whenever we get the chance, and energy, we work on our backyard to spruce it up and make it a nice place to get outside. So far we’ve put in a stone patio, planted grass, put in a fire pit, planted a…

  • The \”What To Do When You’re Bored\” list

    I can honestly say that I can not remember a time when I was bored. I hear many people say that they get bored, especially younger people, and it baffles me. Let’s face it, we all have a measure of ADD but isn’t the world filled with enough to do to save us from boredom?…

  • Since the garden is beginning to bear produce I’m beginning to pull together recipes that I’ll need. Zucchini bread via Marisa McClellan and Zucchini Breakfast Casserole via Simply Recipes are two of those recipes.

  • Green Bell Pepper preview

    Try saying that five times fast. Green Bell Pepper preview… Gree… Nevermind. Someday very soon I’ll be posting an update about our garden – for now, here is a preview of how well our bell peppers are doing. Also of note: Chili peppers are, as the rumor was, very hot.

    Chili peppers from our garden. Looking forward to melting my taste buds on these babies.
