These signs = serious business
(In an attempt to make my site a bit less cluttered and enable me to post larger pictures, I’ve made some changes to my blog design and layout. Feel free to go to the main page and check it out, and then leave some comments here or whereever on the changes! I like feedback!) :-) [...]

I have a bit of a confession to make. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and while part of me is enjoying the routine chaos that is my job, the other part of me still wants to be footloose and fancy-free, traveling Europe with my backpack and rail pass. To be [...]

Fire dancing
I took some pictures of the fire dancer at Second Saturday a couple of nights ago–she was using a hula hoop internally lit by colored LEDs that had flaming wands attached to it. She was absolutely AMAZING. More pictures are in the gallery here. Oh, and these were intentionally long exposures–I wanted a motion blur. [...]
