Posted in front of the somewhat grandiosely-named "Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning" at Georgia Tech. Perhaps the first thing they could "enhance" is their spelling of ANNOUNCEMENT? … [Read more...]
Dahlonega Christmas
December 7, 2008 by
I've always loved Dahlonega. Here's a quick snapshot of the town square illuminated for the holidays. (Taken from the sidewalk in front of the Crimson Moon, where an awesomely pregnant Jennifer Daniels performed a great set of her favorites as well as some new songs from her upcoming album...) … [Read more...]
Clarifi
December 2, 2008 by
Just received my Clarifi from Griffin Technology. It's an iPhone case that includes a sliding macro lens. Check out the difference with and without the lens in the photos above. Click the image to see the full-size version. (Random scrap of paper from my desk; no deep philosophical significance.) Well worth thirty bucks from … [Read more...]

City of Atlanta Water Works
November 11, 2008 by
We complained that our tap water looked and tasted rusty. So, during a multi-year drought, here's what the City of Atlanta Water Works did about it... they sent out a guy in a truck to open up the fire hydrant on our street. Wasted untold hundreds (thousands?) of gallons of water. Now the water coming out of our sinks is dirtier than ever. … [Read more...]
Chattahoochee National Forest
November 9, 2008 by
This morning, we joined the Atlanta MINI Club for a fun run through the North Georgia mountains. This is the route we took, and it was gorgeous! We were probably a week late for the foliage peak, but it didn't matter. Sunny day, brisk temperatures (especially with the convertible top down!), good company with 30+ other MINIs.

Buy this CD!
