If you’ve come to the site — and not just read this in your favourite RSS reader — you’ve noticed the changes.
As part of the desire/need to reinvigorate my blogging, I’ve re-themed the site (using Valdimir Prelovac’s Amazing Grace). That’s meant some backend work and changes.
Amazing Grace uses categories for the lower of the two [...]
I’ve just uploaded the second in a series of photos created in response to words given to me by Twitter followers.
I’m not going to embed it here: you’ll have to go to Flickr to see it.
Tomorrow’s word, which already has me deep in thought about the nature of being, is “duality.”
Just a note: I started [...]
After too many days of feeling uninspired (and even a little lazy), I tweeted this this morning:
I need a kick in the brainpan: somebody tweet me a word, I’ll go out & try to photograph it; share the results later. Deal?

Note that most of them are [...]

Everything seems to have worked out fine, and I’m now blogging with WordPress 2.7. After a quick run-through the new interface, I’m impressed.
We have two sorts of squirrels in Vancouver, grey and black. I’ve seen plenty of both, but this is the first time I’ve seen them so close together.
