Bird Crew

I'm pretty excited about how my recent time lapse turned out.

I'll post a sneak preview soon.

Where Everyone is At

You should read, follow, and submit to Short People, Places, and Things - a micro-nonfiction collection some pals and I are trying out on the new blogging (or just writing) platform Medium.

Medium claims to be a place for everyone's stories and ideas, so I figured I'd go where everyone else is going. Also it's an easy collaboration platform and it's connected to your twitter account which means you don't have to make up a whole new password, which sometimes can be the one stressful thing that pushes you over the edge to madness and despair.  I know I hate thinking of new passwords and I can't use my favorite food because I can't spell spaghetti if I can't see the letters.

If you have seen the tv show Sherlock you might be dazzled at how quickly he figures out people's passwords, I know I am. He just looks around at their surroundings, taps into his mind palace and is like "I know! It's Madeline1964!" And he's always right. So I'm thinking the new thing would be to forget coming up with something you'd remember and instead take on a password persona and then pick passwords that that your character would pick. Say you take on the persona of an 84 year old woman, you'd pick a password totally different than what people are expecting - like, say, the botanical name of ladies finger flowers. That is an extra layer of security. No one, not even Sherlock, could crack it.  As long as you never hint to this persona, like on a blog.

In summary, you can find more accounts of interesting interactions over at the collection on Medium. I will still post pictures of moss, trees, and museums here when I can and I hope to have an update for The Keepers very soon.

Pre-Spring Things

We've been really busy with post-production. Not much blogging happening here, but I have been able to make daily treks out to the Old Forest where I've been finding great set pieces for True Detective season two.

I Was Here

Trees Please

Unwelcome Inspiration

My heartbeat is rather faint. I don't want the last thing I see before I die of this severe cold to be a note from Halls that says, "Tough is your middle name" - because it's not.

New Year, Less Posts?

You know 2014 is going to be good.

I Could Talk About The Weather

Most of the city shut down late Thursday night and stayed that way the whole weekend. I even had to watch SNL in a little window framed by all the news alerts with school and church closings, but the ice didn't come like the icepocalypse we had in our imaginations.  It did ice up enough to make all the trees look like they had been dipped in beautiful crystal winter fairy dust (or frozen snot, depending how you look at it).

I've been re-reading Three Uses of the Knife and love how it opens with a discussion of the weather.  I do love weather talk. 

Book of the.. MONTH

It's been awhile since I have shared a good library find with you all, so here is the latest and the greatest:

The Gnomes Book of Christmas Crafts
Published in 1980 (the height of gnome popularity)

Found on Internet

These are for sale and they are cheap and they are listed under fashion.

• To see if you have been tagged in a photo on Facebook.
• To monitor spam comments on your blog.
