This blog space was created some time ago to allow me a public writing area very different from my private LiveJournaling. I managed to get it up and functioning but stopped short of any sort of design hoping I would have time soon to write my own WP style based off my velda.org style. That never happened, so instead I neglected the blog in shame of its ugly stock theme.

Now that I have had more time on my hands I cheated a little on a style and have something half way decent. Hopefully now I should begin using this blog space as it was intended, to keep the masses aware of whatever I wish.

This blog is syndicated on a couple of my other social networking profiles such as Facebook Notes and Virb. This lets me keep all informed without posting multiple times to different services.

I encourage anyone interested in keeping up with the postings of this blog to subscribe to the rss feed here.

Cheers

Crew Bar Crowd

A small sample of a good night in the crew bar as seen through a fish eye lens. More fisheye fun on my flickr feed.

Il be flying in to Dallas on the 2nd of September and hopefully will begin moving in to the new place in Austin immediately.

Anyone want to help me move in? Huh? Huh? You just KNOW it will be fun. *wink* Il need help redecorating, picking out a bed, desk, chair, etc, etc.

Il be living in austin from now on as my home base.

Plans are to slack around the Austin and Dallas areas until the second week in October when il fly out to Venice for the QV Build until the middle of december when il fly over to India to take part in the Rickshaw Run.

Should be a blast of a couple months. Keep in touch all.

Im in search of a job in Austin. Lighting or production related would be nice, but it isnt necessary. Anything other than food industry to sales. Any ideas?

two picks from my very first attempt at light painting object photography.

hello world. Today i have opened velda.org/blog, a modest attempt at minimal blogging to be publicly available and streamed to my various RSS receiving profiles around the net such as virb and facebook. Im too lazy to update three or four different websites, so with this blog i can update one and all the rest will echo my RSS feed.
