Today, I’m a man of few words. Mostly because my throat hurts so it hurts to talk. On a positive note, here’s the latest photo in my “Photo a Day” experiment. Five down, twenty-five to go.
Photos also on my flickr page.

Photo a Day – Day 4
Posted on August 7, 2008Even though I’ve been under the weather the last several days, I’ve still managed to go out of the house once or twice — mostly because I needed/wanted chicken soup. I also managed to snap a few pictures as well seeing as how the new camera (the Canon Powershot SD1100 IS for those keeping score at home) goes with me everywhere now.
So, here’s the latest in the “Photo a Day” experiment. Four down, twenty-six to go.
Also, check out the photos on my flickr page.
Photo a Day – Day 3
Posted on August 6, 2008Three days. . . in a row! Can you believe it? Maybe I do have the hang of this “stick to things” thing? I guess we’ll find out as the days progress. Three down, twenty-seven to go.
Also find the “photo a day” photos at my flickr page.
Photo a Day – Day 2
Posted on August 5, 2008Two days in a row, nice. Can you dig it? Here’s the second photo in my thirty days of photos experiment.
Two down, twenty-eight to go.
You can also find these at my flickr page.
Photo a Day – Day 1
Posted on August 4, 2008Here’s the first of the series of pictures I’m going to be taking each day for the next thirty days. One down, twenty-nine more to go.
I’ll also be putting these up at my flickr page as well.
Every Picture Tells a Story
Posted on August 2, 2008Or, so people say. So, to challenge myself and because I feel what meager photography skills I may have once had are dwindling rapidly, I’ve decided to embark on a little experiment. I’ve decided that I shall acquire a newer, smaller digital camera and then take it everywhere with me for the next thirty days.
During these thirty days I will take photos each and every day and post at least one each and every day to this here blog. In so doing I hope to spark some creativity in myself and also, perhaps, get a few interesting photos in the process.
Now that I’ve made this decision and this plan, the first step is to acquire said smaller, lighter digital camera. I’m doing this mostly because I don’t want the camera and its weight or bulk to get in the way or serve as an excuse why I’m not keeping up with the plan.
After a bit of research, I’ve decided on the Canon Powershot SD 1100IS as the newer, smaller camera of choice. Its on-order from Amazon and should arrive Monday. Just in time for me to start this thirty day project. So, keep a lookout for new pics right here every day starting Monday.
To be honest, I’m wondering if I will be able to keep up this schedule of taking and posting a picture every day. I guess we’ll find out. To start us off a bit early but in the right direction, here’s a pic I took the other day of my pal Matt Raub and Robert Englund (aka Freddy Krueger):
Because I Can Never Get Enough
Posted on July 30, 2008Here’s yet another picture of the divine Marissa Miller just in time to be a day late for “Photo Tuesday.” Although, I did give you some great shots of Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff from the BSG press event yesterday — so no complaining, please.
I also realize that having these kind of photos may land me a bit on the pandering side of things. But then again, who cares? She looks purty. And sweaty. And I feel like sharing.
Enjoy.
I’ve Been at Comic-Con
Posted on July 29, 2008Yes, all the thrills, chills, excitement and sweaty fanboys you could ever want. But also, great artists, writers, costumes, cool shows and all the true geekery you could ever want. This is Comic-Con and no matter what the negatives, I still seem to go back every year.
I’ll probably do a longer post-mortem later, but until then I just want to highlight a couple of the great things that happened to me, and around me, during the show. Here’s a few:
Meeting Robert Englund (aka Freddy Krueger).
Meeting Stan “The Man” Lee
Meeting Joss Whedon
Getting to hang out with some great friends and the cool people I work with at ComicMix.
Making some great new friends from in and around the “business.”
Getting a chance to talk a little about my own personal projects with people in a position to do something about them and be taken seriously and met with enthusiasm.
Oh, and did I mention I met Joss Whedon. That was cool. Matt Raub, one of my ComicMix pals, met him as well earlier in the week while we were hanging at the Hyatt bar. Which, as it turns out, was pretty much the place to hang out.
It seemed that after all the parties and events that people felt compelled to attend, most anyone would end up at the Hyatt to actually have a bit of fun and relax. Glad we were there too.
For some of my interviews and such done during the show, check out ComicMix.
Last, but certainly not least, here’s a few pics of the “BSG” cast (including my personal favorite Katee Sackhoff) taken by my pal Tony Mark during the press event.
Check them out after the jump. Enjoy.
Megan Fox – ‘Star Wars’ Nerd
Posted on July 20, 2008So, it appears my blog has turned into one run by a fifteen-year old boy who likes to look at pretty girls. Ah well, who can blame me really? Especially when the girl in question is Megan Fox and she’s sporting a rather cool t-shirt from one of my favorite movies of all time. I mean, come on?
Also, as if Megan wasn’t enough, I’m also doing some things as well. Although, I won’t look nearly as good as Megan does while I do them. But yes, its Comic-Con time again in San Diego and I’ll be there representing with the crew from ComicMix. We even have a booth this year so if you happen to be at the show, be sure to come by booth #2308 and bring me cookies. Or, just say hello. But did I mention I like cookies? Okay, just wanted to make sure. Chocolate chip, btw. In case you were wondering. Okay, that’s it for the cookies. Thanks.
And, to talk about how great I am just a bit more, I’ve got a couple new interviews up. Last week the first part of my interview with writer, actor and Internet giant Wil Wheaton hit at ComicMix. Part two drops on Monday (I believe) and part three (Yes, I spoke with Wil a long time and he was nice enough to do it) will hit the following week.
I’ve also got an interview with Buffy, Angel and Battlestar writer/producer Jane Espenson coming out this week as well. She was super-cool and a pleasure to interview. Plus, I’m sure there will be one or two things from me as Comic-Con gets into full swing later this week. In fact, I know there will because I know who and what I’ll be doing already.
Not that I’ll be “doing” anyone at Comic-Con. Although, I do have a thing for girls in “Slave Leia” costumes. And Wonder-Woman too. Also Emma Frost and Poison Ivy. But that’s a story for another time.
Anyway, be sure to check ComicMix early and often for all the latest from me and the rest of the gang of very talented and extremely cool people who work there. And now, here’s Megan (Yes, in addition to the Star Wars t-shirt that appears to be an iPhone in her hand. What a girl.):
It is Mine
Posted on July 12, 2008For more on my quest for the new iPhone 3G on Friday (aka iPhone day), check out this post over at TUAW where I detail the day for you.
Also, as time goes on, look for more about my experiences with the new iPhone 3G. Meantime, here’s a nice pic of the new device side by side with the old one. FYI, the new one is the one the left. You can tell because its slightly wider and also has that cool “3G” logo in the upper left corner.
