Yeah, I kind of hate the whole New Year’s resolution idea, but I do think of the New Year as a time for some housekeeping; both psychologically and physical space wise. You know, kind of like pruning life; cut off the old,dead, not working so well stuff, to encourage new growth. School is out until I can heal and then I’ll make a decision about ...

Photo Friday: Best of 2005
wow! this one is a hard one; my best/favorite photo from the past year. I chose this one because it captures alot of what I want in a photo, the hidden in plain site.

Ride snowboard art contest
well, as I had finished a first draft of computer sketches, I went ahead and sent them in for the ride snowboard graphic design contest. I’m not really sure I am happy with them, but I have a whole month to start from scratch tweak them…. Being sick, I didn’t have the couple of weeks to really do something that I like This is sort ...
