Long Way Off

Legend has it that he was never seen again.

Two Minute Tour

It's been a very foggy September, so sunsets likes this have been few and far between.

When an opportunity for some good light presents itself, I take it.

Seeing Change Ahead

Sometimes life can take sudden turns.... for better, or worse.

Your every move

When the moment is all there is.

High Voltage

It makes our world run.

Slightly Faster

When you're pressed for words, let things speak for themselves.

Governance

Clearly in need of improvement and/or replacement.

Many of our current problems stem directly from poor and corrupt government at every level.

If something doesn't change soon, this parasite will kill its host.

After the Harvest

It's official.... fall is upon us.

It's a different thing

Just reach out and grab it.

Lonely Mountain

Where peace is found easily.

After the rains

Nature gives us the green of spring.

Trapped

When life's circumstances get the better of us.

Autumn Tree

A change in seasons will soon be upon us.

Broken Angel

Something that happens as a matter of course.

Windows

I'm not worried about the folks in Redmond or incremental improvements in MS Office Products, those are obsolete, as are people like me who've used them for decades.

Microsoft is once again trying to be Apple. The old UI is dead, as are old applications and the way that they've been used. We're moving to a more natural and intuitive way of computing.

This is just part of the evolution of computing.

For folks like me, we'll still be able to work on spreadsheets (the nature of numbers hasn't changed), and documents until the cows come home. This type of computing is akin to working on an assembly line.

We're seeing whole new realms of computing that weren't possible a decade ago. Computing is being done with apps, and done on phones and tablets.... And all of this is still in it's infancy.

Software designers are working towards removing the learning curve. Apps will just work.

Sure there'll be lots of rubbish.... Television is a perfect example. We've added hundreds of channels and filled them with meaningless trite (reality tv? Certainly not the pinnacle of humanity).

The changes that are happening in computing are exciting. Sure, it's a pain to upgrade, no doubt about that.... I'm looking forward to the changes, and just wish they were happening faster. The possibilities are boundless.

If Microsoft doesn't adapt, it will die. They know that, and that's what we're seeing.

These are historic times on so many levels, and they require that we adapt, improvise, and overcome. We'll be the better for it.

Problem Solver

On the face of things, the answer seems so simple.

Her world, alone

One in which she makes the rules.

On the road

It's never that easy to get to where you're going.

Pets and Kids

As summer fades away, the light becomes more inviting.... and the beach begins to provide uncrowded opportunities for some photography.

Seeing the future

Something really not all that hard to do.

words can't thank you enough

One this day thousands lost their lives at the hands of hatred and evil.

Many took their last breaths so that others wouldn't have to.

Twisted Remains

We've since picked ourselves up since the Twin Towers fells, but we're not the same.

Our psyche has yet to heal.

Now she's gone

and still, I can't shake the images from my mind.

Power Up

So, millions of people in Southern California lose power. When you don't build infrastructure that's just bound to happen.

A modern economy can't run on wishful thinking.  Technology needs juice.

Blogger App - update

Got the app to work. Sure wish this would have come out a couple of years ago.

Blogger App

Downloaded the new blogger app, but am having problems with it.

Question the hype

Need I say more?

Reflecting Ships

As we pass between seasons.

Sun Run

That perfect moment.

Business has been bad

With so many out of work, Labor Day really has become lucky to have a job day.

Time Passages

A day on the ranch did me some good.

Here's Looking at you

but for the sky there are no fences facin'.

She's Blue

Ready to take you anywhere.

Walkin' Funny

I took way too many photos of the fiesta dancers this year... still trying to process them.
