Childhood’s Last Gleaming

Childhood's Last Gleaming

An experiment in throwing the focus right out the window for effect. I’m honestly not sure about this one, but I thought it was worth putting on-line as an example of an experiment at any way – it’s not something I do a lot of, deliberately defocusing, and it’s something I might want to play with more in the future, given that a lot of my photography is (trying to be) about this sort of combination of light, impression and mood.

I really wanted a word for karmic escape velocity for this one, but my vocabulary fails me.

Scrub Up

Spruced up the look of http://ala.sda.ir last night. Will probably leave http://www.alasdair.biz as-is for the next year – I haven’t found any clean and professional looking designs that I like as much as the one it’s currently using, and it is on my CV, so probably shouldn’t be anything too odd.

That just leaves me wondering what to do with site number three, the old and faded http://www.black-ink.org, which is traditionally where I put pieces of original writing, and is equally traditionally something that I only update in the first third of every year, after which point I become distracted by some other shiny thing.

Anyone got any fun suggestions for what I should do with it in the first part of next year?

Back

The heat has been off in my house for the last 4 days, because I have been away. I can see my own breath in my bedroom. I am going to bed, and not getting up until the thaw sets in.

  • This is an excellent argument for developing in the manner one wishes to. I don't need to support IE on my personal sites, and while I'm good enough at what I do that they're going to remain legible, the fact is that I am not going to waste hours of my life on support a product I heartily wish people would stop using.
