In Powazek, Resolutions on 7 March 2005 with Comments Off

Updating the list:

Sell the car. Check. Thanks, Craigslist!
Launch JPG. Check.
Quit smoking. Check.
Kick ass at work. In process - more to come.
Remember to treasure every moment. Doing the best I can to remember.

Since it’s still the first quarter of the year and I seem to be doing well, I think I’ll add some more.

Be more [...]

And I’ll Call it … San Francisco Stories

In Powazek, San Francisco, Stories on 27 February 2005 with Comments Off

The other night I took the dogs out for their midnight walk. As I was crossing the street, I couldn’t help but notice the screaming coming from the park. It was Madison on a binge, having a shout-out with an extremely loud woman.
As I was crossing the street, another of the park denizens was [...]

Rockstar Treatment

In Art, Fun, Photography, Photos, Powazek on 19 February 2005 with Comments Off

If there’s one thing better than having super-talented friends, it’s having super-talented friends who let you participate in their projects. Today Heather and I went over to Robin’s garage studio for the rockstar treatment, which consists of a white backdrop, a few lights, and a camera. All in all it’s pretty low tech. The fanciest [...]

A new feature to the ol’ dotcom: Just a Link. Approximately three years after everyone else got one, I’ve added a little sidebar link blog to my site. It’s for quick links. Just little one-liners: A link and a thought. The same thing I said was not “all that revolutionary” five years ago. And, yeah, [...]

In Powazek on 1 February 2005 with Comments Off

I’ve always been the creative sort. A maker of things. With a drive to succeed. And I’ve always dated strong, independent women. Creative types. Writers, actresses, editors, and, God help me, designers.
So it comes as no surprise that I now find myself married to Heather. Beautiful, wonderful, creative, successful Heather. I do love her so.
But [...]

The Really Big Show

In Art, Cole Valley, Photography, Powazek, San Francisco on 31 January 2005 with Comments Off

For weeks Heather and I have been running the photo printer constantly, buying up lengths of wire and strange plastic bits, and having conversations like, “does this dog go with this ripped graffiti?” and “I dunno, the broken taillight or the billowy cotton candy?” And after two late nights with tape and levels and other [...]

I’m honored to be a nominee for the 2005 Bloggies in the category of, get this, Lifetime Achievement. Seriously. If I win, I think I might just retire.
New ’round here? Here’s a short history of my affliction with the world of weblogs.
