I’m a Climate Witness

I was contacted a while back by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), originally through Flickr from a picture I posted on the severe drought conditions around Lake Lanier. I was invited to write a “Climate Witness” story to tell the world about how the climate has changed in northeast Georgia from my perspective. It has… Continue reading I’m a Climate Witness

Threadless (Critique): Pirates Were the First Gangstas

I have my August Threadless design up a little late, but I put together three sketches when I started this one, so I have two others I can flesh out.

@brianb I was set to buy three of those, but determined I couldn’t actually use them yet. HD prices always go down, so it’s okay to wait. # Just ordered Xara Xtreme Pro (upgrade). This is one of the few pieces of software I *actually* own and maintain! # Drum circle tonight in hometown. #… Continue reading Twitter Updates for 2008-08-19

@HamWithCam With the exception of the beach part, that sounds like a normal day using bike panniers. # Muffin, banana, granola bar, and yogurt. That’s a pretty good breakfast! I normally try for the biscuits and gravy @ work cafeteria. # Captain’s Wafers, coffee, and almond granola – ready to ride! # Powered by Twitter… Continue reading Twitter Updates for 2008-08-18
