As you travel life’s highways, stop and smell the roses…and get a piercing. That’s the advice Con’rs heard, anyway. DragonCon is, as of recent years, a five day event including labor day. The event takes place in Atlanta within the Marriott Marquis and Hyatt hotels (registration was actually taken care of in the Hilton this… Continue reading DragonCon Wrap-Up

A Black Spot in the Road
When I was younger, sometime in my Jr. High School days, I got myself into situations of remarkable trouble. One particular spot in my past that haunts me to this day is in regards to my activities as a teenage marauder. My friends and I used to go out late and night and into the… Continue reading A Black Spot in the Road
Corporate Musical Chairs
Last week, Carlos told me a story that was potentially blog-worthy. I didn’t blog about it because I felt that it needed to have personal frustration associated with it, rather than just his. What he didn’t tell me was that I would undergo the same treatment a few days later. Today, I got my first… Continue reading Corporate Musical Chairs
Book 6 of the Harry Potter Saga
Tonight (tomorrow morning, technically), book 6 of Rowling’s Potter epic is released. I’ve heard that some people released early today and that many are taking this information quite badly. Amy and I will be at Chapter 11 books in Gainesville for some hoopla surrounding this event. We’re taking care of pictures, and getting a copy… Continue reading Book 6 of the Harry Potter Saga
Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios
The Atlanta Flickr Group attended an informal studio lighting seminar my wife put on at her studio in Gainesville, Celestial Studios. Thank you to everyone that was able to come to that. I think it went quite well and gave something to everyone to play with in the future. I’d love it if the group… Continue reading Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios
The Asian Cultural Experience
Today the family traveled out to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for the Asian Cultural Experience. It was a really cool adventure as expected. I only learned about the event through a Flickr group I’m a member of, the Atlanta Flickr Group. Ironically, however, I didn’t get to see any of them at the show. They… Continue reading The Asian Cultural Experience
KidsFest 2005
Tomorrow I’m playing with the Alchemy drumming circle in Athens during Athfest. We played in Kidsfest last year, and they wanted us back again this year. We had a lot of fun then, so I’m eagerly anticipating this year’s event. I just noticed we’re mentioned on the Kidsfest schedule at www.athfest.com. Cool! There should be… Continue reading KidsFest 2005
atlantastrifest05
Last night marked my second attendance with the Atlanta Flickr Group. As a second, it was a first. This particular event was centered around our extension of some southern hospitality to some Flickr-Celebs coming through Atlanta. The Journey, as over-documented by other Flickrites and the journeymen themselves, has covered a lot of U.S. and Canadian… Continue reading atlantastrifest05
Simple, Instrumented, Bullet-Proof
I had an “all-hands” meeting today at CheckFree in which we discussed our division’s strengths and weaknesses. One of the things I gleaned from this was that there is a desire by upper management for solutions to be simple, instrumented, and bullet-proof when they’re handed off. This rings true in many people’s minds, I think.… Continue reading Simple, Instrumented, Bullet-Proof
Population Limiters in Effect
I read Darren’s comments on an article regarding the cancer-causing agents in red meat. Not that anyone has said there are carcinogens in steak, but there seems to be some sort of accusatory game going on. I’m neither a vegetarian nor a carnivore, but rather what humans were meant to be; omnivores. Darren is too,… Continue reading Population Limiters in Effect
