Day 892 of 365 Again. You know, usually when something monumental happens I tend to write some kind of commentary or rant on it. I try to make poignant important points while peppering things with my own snide assholish humor. But sometimes, even I don’t have the heart. Today is Martin Luther King day. Basically…

Day 890 of 365 Again. Was it just a few days ago that i was swimming in the dessert? it couldn’t have been, could it? I’m definitely back home in Pittsburgh now. From 65 degrees to -2 In less than 24 hours. This is just the kinda thing that the human body isn’t supposed to…

Day 888 of 365 Again. It’s always nice to have a souvenir. And in Vegas, the cheesier the better. But I actually think this is kinda cool. It’s a crystal "hologram" (actually a series of computer etchings inside the glass) that Steph and I got done at the New York New York casino. Tonight it’s…

Day 884 of 365 Again. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that I’m a die hard Steelers fan. I work my life around it. I rejoice when they win and I mourn when they lose. Today was a good day. The team completely decimated the Chargers and moved one step closer to a sixth…

Day 879 of 365 Again. I’ve often joked that when I don’t have a good idea for a 365 picture, my default plan is to go in my studio and do like a really intense stare into the camera in fron of the black backdrop. The other thing I like to do is have Steph…

Day 872 of 365 Again. The year is ending and everything is winding down. I don’t have a terrible amount of energy. Mostly I’m just worn out. Having two weeks in a row where I don’t have to work the entire week is kinda nice, but I just know that next week is gonna kick…

Day 871 of 365 Again. Well, it’s been a while since I did one of these. Kind of nice. It feels like I’m back to being me. Today it was back to work for another toiling 2.5 day work week. Half a day on Wednesday, Thursday is a holiday and I’m taking Friday off. Still,…

Day 858 of 365 Again. Another day, a little better. Got the replacement power cable for my dying hard drive today. Crossed my fingers ad plugged it in, hoping that maybe everything would be better. It was… Well, a little. The drive is still dying. It still won’t stay up for very long, but I…

Day 852 of 365 Again. Well, I have the smallest glimmer of hope. I finally heard back from the company that made my hard drive. I am out of warranty (as I knew) but the tech seems to think that the problem is the power adapter has gone bad (not the motor on the drive…

Day 850 of 365 Again. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!!!!! I should so not be allowed around anything remotely technological. I have this terabyte drive. I use it as a cold storage disk. That is to say, when I’m done working on a project, I move all the source files off…

Day 826 of 365 Again. The end of the work week. Wheee! I guess I could have done something exciting with my Friday night. Really I considered it. But no. Instead I just stayed home and watched TV and played some video games. No drawing. No writing. No photography except for this. No work! But…

Day 822 of 365 Again. Ow. The problem with wrestling is that I’m old. Oh so very old. I still enjoy it, otherwise I wouldn’t do it, but man am I sore the next day. Yesterday, I was in a Battle Royal and then I was in a tag team triple threat match. When I…

Day 818 of 365 Again. My new camera got here today. This is as excited as I’ve been about anything in a while. The Olympus Stylus 1030SW. Waterproof to 33 feet. Rated for 6.5 foot drops, 220 pounds of crushing force or -10 C temperatures. What more could you want in a camera? Ok, it…
