Font Conference
I thought this was hilarious. Typeface humor…God, I’m a design nerd.
Rush on The Colbert Report
I don’t know how I missed it (or perhaps it’s sitting on my TiVo and I don’t even know it) but Rush was on The Colbert Report. Thank you YouTube!
End of “The Wire”
I watched the final episode of season 5 of The Wire tonight. I’m not going to add another web page singing the praises of the show (though, clearly, I loved it). Instead, I’m going to complain about my TiVo and/or HBO — I don’t know which exactly is to blame, but the final 5 minutes …
President Hirohito?
Earlier this week we took Amelia out for ice cream for her birthday (parties later this week). While we were eating it, we overheard a ridiculous political discussion. Three people were talking about their reason for why they would never vote for Barack Hussein Obama. One said “In 1944 you wouldn’t vote for Hirohito” (as …
NH Vacation Photos
Last week we took our first family vacation (to the White Mountains area in New Hampshire) and had a good time, despite some rainy weather. Some photos will eventually end up in my Flickr photostream, but if you’re into looking at people’s vacation slides (and who isn’t?!) you can view them here.

In the coming months I’ll be updating this site to better reflect my services, but in the meantime I’ll …
FAT Zine
You old BMX `zine makers out there (both of you…) might get a kick out of seeing the old issues of FAT Magazine — the original printed versions from the 80s and 90s — making their way online. Issue 16 has a few photos I took of Jim Cavanaugh and Rich Upjohn (page 15) and …
Are photographers really a threat?
Are photographers really a threat? Given that real terrorists, and even wannabe terrorists, don’t seem to photograph anything, why is it such pervasive conventional wisdom that terrorists photograph their targets? Why are our fears so great that we have no choice but to be suspicious of any photographer? I’ve sometimes felt watched when taking photos …

Jill is officially starting her business today, and her “real” website is now live at jillchapmanshiatsu.com. Have a look, and if you’re in the area, sign up for a treatment!
Sox Photos
A friend was able to get us some great seats to the Sox-Rays game this past Sunday. Even though they weren’t the “good” company seats, they were the best seats I’ve ever had at Fenway (two rows behind the photographer’s well). Because there was a good chance of rain (which didn’t happen) I didn’t bring …
