Chautauqua 2015
Last month we spent a week at Chautauqua, NY, as guests of my parents-in-law Mike and Debbie. Amelia and Sophie took part in camp; I worked all week but took time out to attend a few lectures. It’s hard to describe Chautauqua, this NY Times article does a pretty good job. Ava DuVernay One of […]
Maine 2015
Some scenes from our annual trip to Maine. For the last few years we’ve stayed on a peninsula just outside of Freeport, near the Wolfe’s Neck state park. This year we got some pretty good weather for the majority of our stay. There was, as usual, plenty of seafood. My father-in-law, Mike, got a tandem […]
On the Break
photo by penjamins This is my breakaway goal from last night’s game, a throwback to early-80s hockey that the Sled Dogs won 9-4. Lots of people getting goals in this one. I centered the first line and we all got at least a goal and an assist. I ended up with a goal and two […]
Wedding Weekend
Back from Malvern, PA, where Jordan and I attended Caroline and Brad’s wedding. Photos from the digicam are here. I shot a few rolls of film with the Leica that I’ll get developed this week. It was a beautiful weekend — on the drive down on Friday it seemed that everyone had played hooky to […]
Flash Forward, Day Three
Day three kicked off with a keynote by John Maeda. He spent the first part of his keynote giving background on his evolution as a digital artist, and the sources of inspiration for his work. He had a funny joke about his mom thinking Samsung was a person he was working with, Mr. Sam Sung. […]
FlashForward Boston, Day Two
In case you’re wondering what happened on Day One, your guess is as good as mine. I’m playing catch-up to the FlashForward conference in Boston. I missed the first day to wrap up some development on a project, and flew out early this morning to fall into the jetstream of day two. Oscar got here […]
Maine Weekend
Update 2007-09-10: Photos are here. I had particular fun trying out kayaking for the first time, Mike was great getting Jamie, Jordan, and I sorted out on the water the first day. Just got back from a weekend up in Harpswell, Maine with the bulk of the Farmer clan – celebrating Mike’s and Jamie’s birthdays. […]
Pacific NW Trip
Jordan and I just finished a trip out to Seattle and Portland (Vancouver just missed the cut) last week. We had a great time in both cities. Photos are here. We’d both been to Seattle before (I made a few trips out there while Joseph was at U-Dub) but it was our first time in […]
