Day 254 – Another Beautiful Day
Here is a shot I snapped of Dr. Weaire teaching at the outdoor forum. After the fog cleared this morning, the weather was beautiful, and many professors took their classes outdoors. Click on the photo to view it at a larger size.

Day 253 – The Collegian
This semester’s first issue of The Collegian came out today! I am excited to take pictures for them this year–we have a great photo crew! (Also, some great writers, too!) Check out The Collegian online, at HillsdaleCollegian.com. Also, I had this photo run on the front page today:

Day 252 – Studying on the Quad
It finally stopped raining, and it was a beautiful day today. Many students were studying out in the sun on the quad this afternoon. Caroline (above) didn’t mind me taking photos of her. Natural lighting, f/2.8, 1/500, ISO 100. Click on the photo to view it at a larger size.

Day 251 – “Cleaned By Capitalism”
Starting on Earth Day in 2004, Don Boudreaux at CafeHayek.com did a series of posts titled “Cleaned by Capitalism”. These posts display low cost pollution-fighting technology that capitalism has brought the world. He only did a few posts in 2004, but in the last couple months, he has made a lot more posts displaying how…

Day 250 – Expectations
An aspect of human behavior has been puzzling me lately…Expectations. When we are asked a question, why do we expect there to be an answer? Since this is probably not terribly clear, consider this: A friend walked up to me in my dorm one day and asked me if I noticed anything different about his…

Hillsdale beat Michigan Tech 37–35 in a close game today at home. The photos below show number 22, Vinnie Panizzi, scoring a magnificent touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Click on the photos to view them at a larger size. A quick note: I had a guest post on William Clayton’s blog yesterday!

Day 247 – Frisbee Golf
I took some shots of the frisbee golf course at Baw Beese Lake this afternoon. This guy was really good. In other news, I tried swing dancing tonight. It turns out I am terrible at it. I wish I was better! By the way, the entry on the Team Fortress 2 hats is ridiculous.

Day 246 – Shadow
Today was the second first day of classes (Hillsdale has two schedules…MWF and TTH). I have a lot of homework, so I am just posting a photo today. I took this on my phone when I was walking Amanda back to her dorm after dinner. This makes me smile.

Day 245 – First Day of Classes
Today was the first day of classes at Hillsdale! It is time to hit the books. I already have homework and reading piled on for Friday. I am excited about my classes, though, and I am looking forward to a wonderful semester! (The photo above is my roommate Trevor, studying away.)

Day 244 – Snow Leopard
Click on the photo to view it at a larger size: I installed Snow Leopard the day after it came out, since I was on a retreat in the middle of the woods when it was shipped. I can tell a major difference in how fast my computer processes and exports photos, and I like…

Day 241 – Michindoh Retreat Cont.
Today was the last full day at the retreat. In addition to going to the excellent lectures, I went on the blob in the lake, and on the waterslide. Here are a few more shots (also taken on my phone) of Michindoh. The blob (someone sits at the far end, and someone jumps from the…

Day 240 – Michindoh Retreat
Today was the first full day at the honors program retreat at Michindoh. So far the retreat has been great. We did some icebreaker activities to get to know the new freshmen, played ultimate frisbee, went on the huge waterslide, listened to wonderful discussions on Oscar Wilde and Picture of Dorian Gray, and had a…

Day 239 – Back to Hillsdale
I am on my way back to Hillsdale today. After I get there and unpack all of my stuff, I am going to Michindoh on a retreat with the honors program.

Here is another Amherst quarries photo. Click on the photo to view it at a larger size. I packed all of my stuff today for my return to Hillsdale. My friends Aaron and Jayme are staying at my house tonight and we are all driving up to Hillsdale in the morning. I am excited!

Day 237 – Teacher for a Day
I got the chance to teach two classes today at the spur of the moment! I went to work this morning (at Amherst Steele High School), and found out the teacher that the district hired to teach two visual design courses quit the night before. Since it was the first day of school, there were…

Day 236 – Amherst Quarries
My home town of Amherst, Ohio, has numerous sandstone quarries. In fact, from the late 19th to the middle of the 20th century, Amherst was known as the Sandstone Center of the World. Now, only one or two of the quarries are still in operation. Here are a few shots of some of the beautiful,…
