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

Yesterday, by pure chance, I met local photographer Rolfe Ross – whose work I’ve followed on Flickr for many years. It turns out his photos were being exhibited in the same venue as Eugene Lucas, whose photos I was there to see. I took some very hasty photographs of the exhibit – which I shared…

Sweeney’s Bench – Scranton, PA – March 2020
Sweeney’s Bench – Scranton, PA – March 2020 This being my very first “serious” medium format film exposure using the Ansco Speedex 6.3 – a camera from the 1930s that is fully manual. I’m extremely happy with this image. Even though I was using Kodak Tri-X 400 film that expired in the early 1980s, the…

Three photos from Downtown Scranton – February 2018
Three photos from Downtown Scranton – February 2018 The weather is just beginning to break here in the northeast. We just had 4″ of snow on Saturday evening and tomorrow should be somewhere in the 60s Fahrenheit melting any memory of it away. This causes me to stir and I begin walking around hitting my…

SPARK Talks at the NEPA Tech meet up in December 2017
SPARK Talks are, by definition, Short, Provocative, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Knowledgeable talks that are loosely timed, on a specific topic (more or less), and allow many presentations to be given at an event. I had never heard of them prior to this month’s NEPA Tech meet up organized by John George. SPARK Talks remind me of Lightning Talks or Ignite.…

Attending October’s NEPA.js meet up
On Tuesday, October 10 I attended October’s NEPA.js meet up. John George of NEPA Web Solutions was this month’s presenter and his topic was Bitcoin and the Blockchain: Democratizing How We Exchange Value.

Attending the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic: The Music of John Williams (audio)
This past weekend Eliza and I attended an orchestral presentation by the NEPA Philharmonic that featured musical scores composed by John Williams – my favorite score composer.

Attending September’s NEPA.js meetup
On September 12th, NEPA.js held its September meetup. Anthony Altieri presented on beacons – the typically small Bluetooth devices that “chirp” some very basic information multiple times per second allowing app developers to understand the proximity of a user. This allows for things like understanding where a shopper is in a retail space. His overview…

Attending the August NEPA.js Meet up
The NEPA.js Meet up is really hitting its stride. Each meet up is pretty well supported – even in the summer – and the camaraderie and general feeling around each event is pretty great. Also, the Slack channel is pretty active. If you’re within an hour or so of Scranton I’d recommend joining the meet…

Jason is a big believer in transpiling JavaScript but he kept his presentation balanced…
