  • Day 17 – Hannah and David’s Cookies

      I awoke this morning to the wonderful smell of cookies baking in Niedfeldt. After I took a shower, I went to explore. Hannah M. and David W. were baking in the house director’s kitchen, so I took a few photos and sampled a cookie. It was delicious! (Click the photo to view it large.)…

  • Day 16 – Memory from High School

    ,

      This video is from the beginning of my senior  year in high school. My friends Tyler, Dylan, and I decided it would be fun to eat Kool-Aid powder and record it. All three of us had a free two hour block where we hung out in Mrs. Opel’s room and were for the most…

  • Day 15 – Charger Basketball

    ,

      Tonight I took photos for both the men and women Charger Basketball teams. I caught a nice shot of this foul. The lighting in the sports complex is not optimal, so I had to shoot on 1600 ISO and f/2.8 to get enough light, so I apologize for the graininess. I need to invest…

  • Day 14 – Disk Warrior

    ,

    Disk Warrior, produced by Alsoft, has saved me and hard drives that I have worked on multiple times. Corrupt catalogue on your drive?  Lost file directory data? Corrupt sectors on your startup disk? Disk does not mount? Disk Warrior will fix it. I keep my CD in my bag just incase something happens. You never…

  • Day 13 – Reflections

      I took this photo two summers ago. The figure in the glasses is my great friend Sean Nelson. The warm summer sun shining on this picnic table is a big change from the cold, windy, snowy weather Hillsdale has been having the last few days. It is 3 degrees as I write this.  …

  • Day 10 – Snowstorm

    ,

      The large snowstorm that hit the midwest and northeast dumped 10 inches on Amherst, Ohio from 1 p.m. on Friday through 1 p.m. on Saturday (when that photo was taken) and the snow continues to fall. I measured at multiple points in the backyard and found an average of 10 inches everywhere.    I…

  • Day 9 – I, Pencil

    , ,

    The Foundation for Economic Education released the 50th Anniversary Edition of I, Pencil in late 2008. Written by Leonard E. Read in 1958, I, Pencil illustrates the importance of markets and dispersed knowledge and shows why centralized economic planning cannot work.   In the afterword, Milton Friedman writes: Leonard E.

    , ,

      Today is my Mom’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! (Most of you reading this are probably reading it on Thursday, Jan. 8. If so, my Mom’s birthday was yesterday, Jan. 7.)    I have very few pictures of just Mom, so I posted this photo of my parents that I took in December 2007 while…

  • Day 6 – Long Exposures in Oberlin

    ,

        Last night around 8:30, I decided to drive down to Oberlin and take a few long exposures. This is kind of new ground for me since the only type of long exposures I have done are the Illum light art photos. Even though it was pretty cold and kind of windy, I stayed…

    Thank goodness we live in a free country where we can live the way we want and the government does not control us!   …yeah right.   Don Cooper, an economist in Atlanta, Georgia, gets it right. In an article at LRC, he explains a normal day in statist America. I suggest reading it.   (I…

  • Day 2 – Illum in 2008

    ,

      I was thinking about 2008 today. Among other things like graduating from high school and starting college, 2008 was a big year for Illum, Sean Nelson and my long exposure project. Some of our achievements: Two of our photos were selected to appear in the New Internationalist 2010 planner, some of our photos were…

  • Year 2009

    ,

    For 2009, I decided to start posting more. I posted regularly last year until I went to college and all of my time went to reading, writing, calculating, and thinking. To get in the habit of putting time aside each day to update my blog or work on my website, I decided that in 2009…
