Green ?

It’s been awhile since I did much photography. A bit here and there but not enough, and I haven’t posted much either. Family, work and school keep me too busy. (Mostly school and work) but I am resolved to make sure to enjoy life more than these last two semesters [...]
A month or so ago (was it really only a month ago?), while I was working at the conferences in Providence, someone found a way to get inside my WordPress installation. It started with an email from Dad, telling me my page lead to an oriental porn gateway. Yeah, real cute. Cleaned that up quick, [...]
I’m currently setting up a shiny new 17″ MacBook Pro for one of the professors I’m working for (it’s going to be a very interesting summer with 3 part time jobs and 4 bosses!). Being that the University and NURC have licenses for a variety of software he uses that are PC licenses or are [...]
I’m so close to being done with the semester. I have one last exam. It’s for a great class, but the final exam is killing me. It’s a take home exam, which means it’s far harder than what we would be subjected to in an in class exam. Well, except maybe the Marine Reaction and [...]

Summer is almost here…
It’s just one more week and I’m through with the semester from hell.
It’s not that any of the classes were that hard, though Marine Reaction and Transport comes close enough. The problem is that I got involved in many other activities and overextended myself again.
My last class was yesterday with Prof. A. [...]
At Avery Point the Earthday celebrations were yesterday (tree planting, drum circle, giveaways of CFL lights, recycled reusable water bottles, speeches, ice cream, CT DEP demonstrations, hybrid car showings - not bad for a campus of only 500 or so people.
Since today is the more widely recognized day though… a few quick quotes / links
“Never [...]

It looks like both Dad and I have some new digital real estate.
My father is a professional photographer and now has a web site to show some of his works. I love his bear series of photographs and hope you will too. The cool thing is that he is also providing some facts and conservation [...]

There is a meme out there for naming women scientists. Well with Johann’s scientists cards and his love of science history as well as science, we felt like playing along. So here are some of the scientists that we came up with, most of them off the top of our heads:
Lise Meitner - Physics
Shirley Jackson [...]

The group of people at Earth Shots contacted me to ask about posting A Mother’s [...]

Finally, the chance to check out Aperture and Lightrooom (oops that’s “Photoshop Lightroom” now…whatever…), head to head so to speak on the same machine with the same photo sets.
I really am impressed with lightroom from a workflow standpoint. Almost everything in on app, and set up fairly logically, though I do [...]
