One thing I’m not going to do…
One aspect of figuring out what to do in a second career is understanding what NOT to do. As I noted in the intro, one decision I made a while back was that even though my hockey writing was one of the largest segments of my blog’s audience at the time, I chose not to try to make it a ...

Thoughts on the Second Career
As I noted the other day, I expect posting frequency on the blog to go up soon. About this time last year I started serious planning on my “what’s next?” project — that being my long-term look at how I want to make the shift into the second career. I see a time where ...

Designing a Web Presence
It should come as no surprise that anything I’m planning for the future involves the internet. I suppose I could decide to move to Astoria and go to work in Starbucks. That’d be a perfectly acceptable second career — and if my other plans don’t work, it might still ...

Comment behaviour: How far is too far?
According to Greenbaum’s blog post (which was mirrored on his personal blog), someone posted a comment on a story in which they used a colloquial or slang term for female genitalia. It was deleted, but then was reposted. Greenbaum says he noticed that the comment alert from Wordpress showed ...

Will google reshape online backups?
Another followup on my backup article . Google has recently announced the ability to buy online storage at prices dramatically lower than anyone else : 20 gigabytes for $5/year. This kind of pricing would take what I’m currently paying for S3 a month and cover my online backup for the ...

Warning: blog activity increasing.
Just a note to people who get upset when people post “too much” (I know you exist; I hear from you when I get frisky on the blog…) — I’m about to shift gears from a relatively quiet mode to a much less quiet mode. This is a good thing to me. If it’s not to ...

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 is out
Two months ago I noted: I finally (finally? hah-hah) upgraded to Snow Leopard this evening. The only glitch: I lost a couple of hours because the airport interface simply didn’t want to the time capsule, I couldn’t get a reliable connection, especially DNS. The third time I restarted the ...

Looking at the Dany Heatley trade
Now that we’re in November, I wanted to take a look at the Dany Heatley trade and the Sharks in general. Given I wasn’t a huge fan of the trade before it was made ( look here ), what do I think now? I like it. Heatley is doing pretty much everything I could ask to convince me ...

It’s not a bad photographer, it’s a bad person
This seems to come up about once a year among the birders — bad behavior by a bird phoographer. I wrote up my thoughts on this, since I live in all three worlds (birder, photographer of birds, and list admin to both), and decided I’d turn it into a blog post so I can point to it ...

Some more thoughts on backups.
I had a couple of people email me on my backup article (thank you all for the links and feedback!), and that led to a few more quick thoughts. Is there significant advantage to Firewire over USB 2 for a backup drive? Firewire is faster. USB is slower, but the drives are less expensive.  ...

It’s fall, and the Cranes and Geese are returning to California for the winter. This weekend is the Lodi Crane Festival , which if you’re at all curious about this birdwatching stuff would be a great way to get introduced to birding and these gorgeous birds. There seems to be ...

More than you wanted to know about backups
It was a topic for discussion multiple times at the Morro Bay Photo Expo. It’s a continuing topic online in various blogs. It’s a continuing problem where the solutions seem simple in theory, but in practice… So while I’ve written about it before, I realized while I ...
