Tilted

Playing with TiltShift Maker. I also did some plant maintenance at work this morning, since some were sick, getting too big for their pots, or going into hibernation. I always think my shamrock is dying before remembering, oh right, it has a cycle, it’s just resting for the winter. I have lots of cuttings at […]

I want all of my photos in one place where I can share, organize and access them from anywhere. I already have an […]

Nothing Makes Me Whine Like…

… hours and hours of coding. Since I’m learning, I tend to spend hours trying to do something (like using CSS to mimic a table) before discovering that there is an easier way. Head desk. Live and learn. On a brighter note, the photo gallery for The Babbling Banshee is now up! These photos were […]
