Even When You Win
Saturday night was the Computer Mine Holiday Party. The Computer Mine is overly generous with the prizes that they give away at this party. I’m not sure there really is a need for these prizes after all they already give us quite a healthy Christmas present. This year I got… Read More »Even When You Win
Young at Heart
I went to see The Kite Runner on Saturday night. It was an excellent movie, but what I’m posting here is a preview for a movie I saw before The Kite Runner. It is a documentary called Young at Heart and it is certainly on my list of must see… Read More »Young at Heart
Jaycees Run
I am a big fan of the 1976 science fiction classic Logan’s Run. So much so that I used the movie as the basis for the invitations to a birthday party a few years back. Jesse and Andy as Sandmen. Me as a runner. Notice the greenish hue of the… Read More »Jaycees Run
Feline Porcine
It seems to me that everybody I know that chooses to house two cats always seem to have the same two types of cats. One cat is amiable. The other cat is the spawn of Satan. My friend Willy (see image below) is an excellent example of a person in… Read More »Feline Porcine
Commuter Art
I’m sure that at least one person is going to look at this and begin to think: “Is he ever going to just take a picture of something and then that picture will look like that thing again?” All I can say to that person is this: “I’m being influenced… Read More »Commuter Art
Broken
I got one of the ugliest Christmas presents from Mary Beth this Christmas. I wasn’t really sure what to do with it, but in the end I decided to hang it up at work. Take a look: Yesterday I picked up another cheap mirror. I sat it outside for the… Read More »Broken

Masterpiece Theater is running a series of movies based on Jane Austen novels. In fact they are doing all 6 Jane Austen novels and a dramatization of her life. I’m kind of excited about this and it started tonight. The first movie they showed was Persuasion. This movie is about… Read More »Atonement & Persuasion
Notes from Yesterday
I got another mysterious fortune yesterday. I lunched at The Mandarin with Frank and Jesse. We had a lengthy conversation about bathroom etiquette at the Computer Mine. Then I got this fortune: I have yet to get that offer. I’m standing by and I’ll let you know when I get… Read More »Notes from Yesterday
Edwards on New Year’s Day
I’m very excited to announce that I got FTP capabilities back on my website. I’m hoping to get into a pattern of throwing up at least a brief blog every day. We’ll see how that goes. This is perhaps the end of the long blog era, but more pictorial blogs… Read More »Edwards on New Year’s Day
Just Tell Me
I got this fortune the other day: Although this is apropos because of one of my favorite things in the world, but I still have to ask the question: Just what is it you people think you know?
Year in Review?
No. I’m not ready yet to look back at 2007 or look forward to 2008. However, I did do some more photography experimentation. I won’t explain how these images were made. I’m sure it is painfully obvious.
Christmas Beanies
I hope you had a great and wonderful Christmas. My sister Teresa unloaded a new batch of beanies on me. I now have 7 new beanies. As it happens, while I was wandering around town last night, Fashion Photographer Jay Janson happened upon me several times and kept insisting on… Read More »Christmas Beanies

Bethelehem in 2007
To know me at all is to know that I listen to NPR on the way to work and the way home every day. I was really struck by this story on the way to work this morning. Although I do kind of want to punch the guy who said… Read More »Bethelehem in 2007
Symposer
We are quickly approaching Jay’s annual wine tasting party known as Symposium. This event always lies on the 2nd Saturday in January. Interestingly enough, this also happens to be the same way that Patterson Dental picks the date for their holiday party. This puts Willy in a bit of a… Read More »Symposer
Kentucky Fried Methodist
I’m not sure how the subject came about, but one day I was talking to Shannon and she revealed to me her extreme disdain for the cross on top of her church. I didn’t really know how somebody could dislike a lit up cross on top of a church. I… Read More »Kentucky Fried Methodist
Somebody Bet on the Bay
I ran into and old friend by the name of Sean Clubine at Best Buy yesterday. For some strange reason we began recounting horror stories about our time spent at Wesley Woods. Then he asked if I went to Mexico for confirmation. I didn’t. He asked because he wanted to… Read More »Somebody Bet on the Bay
