Some changes

May 9th, 2012

I’m pleased to announce some big changes to this site and my online persona, as it were. After many years, I’ve taken to heart some suggestions to start making my photos and music available for anyone to own and have in their very own home. Here is the album cover for my first released CD, now available at CDBaby.com and shortly listed on iTunes, Amazon and others. I have others in the queue as well. Also, all my photos are getting transferred to a lab where you can get greeting cards, prints, framed prints, even framed canvas murals of them. I have sent over 100 photos from the Philippines so far and the rest are coming in the next few weeks. You can click nearly any photo on my site to go to my online gallery here.

Thanks to everyone for being a loyal audience and I hope you’ll find these improvements as great an idea as I do.

our testament

October 5th, 2011

Upon a recent trip to my soon-to-be-home in Singapore, the three of us noted our surroundings and felt compelled to take a picture:

Tonight, with the passing of Steve Jobs, I can only say: look how you changed our lives!

That same week, this was the Newsweek headline:

I decided to make a little graphic today after another historic occasion in the stock market…

Jesse Teeters plays Scrabble like Einstein

So Jesse Teeters has proven himself a terrifying opponent in what has got to be one of the greatest evolutions in mobile social media. Words with Friends has swept up a good number of my pals and lets you play Scrabble with pretty much anyone in your life no matter where they live, ongoing throughout the day, whenever someone has time for a turn. but in this particular case, what Jesse managed to pull off was nothing short of Book of Revelation material. Dude, look at that score. I can’t stop typing this paragraph, that’s how surprised I am. I mean, seriously. It’s one thing that he is the spokesperson for all the major beer labels across America. It’s another thing entirely that he puts all 7 letters on the board on his FIRST MOVE. I mean, sheesh. Seriously.

Where are you from?

January 29th, 2010

What you see in this image may actually indicate where in the world you likely live!

(This image is in the public domain.)

To those in the west who are used to being indoors this picture can appear to show a family sitting in the corner of a room with a window through which vegetation can be seen outside. Show the same image to someone in Africa however and the perception changes; the rectangular room corner looks like a tree and the window appears as an object being balanced on the woman’s head.

Off Topic: Politics

I don’t normally care to go off on political discussions, but these are two of my favorite Americans, and Steve’s flickr commentary is an interesting take on things:

Dust Devil in Mustang, OK

July 9th, 2009

Man, Oklahoma has been having some extraordinary weather this summer.  In addition to the amazing tornado footage from last month, Gary England posted this photo today of a “tiny” dust devil in Mustang, OK.

Dust devils have the same structure as a tornado, but are usually harmless.  They can be just a couple feet wide, or grow to several meters wide.

The real temperature, not the heat index, in NW Oklahoma today reached 115!

Last month’s tornados

July 1st, 2009

I grew up in Oklahoma and I miss most the dramatic weather, and Gary England’s frequent and exciting intrusions into our home during these extraordinary events.

Gary’s team just won a national award for their coverage last month of a particularly overwhelming day when multiple tornadoes (the plural appears to have more than one spelling) struck from a single storm system, and HD cameras captured a lot of it.  This video was their winning submission, and it is jaw-dropping.

A storm from just last month!

Here it is:
