Last night, I attended an event that I found on Meetup. Local photographers get together to shoot interesting events, movement and help each other get better. I arrived at 8pm, just as the event was about to start. As I unloaded my car, two men in their 60′s were across the street, asking me what I was up to. The conversation lead into talks about Katrina, fish-eye photography, and ultimately my new friends poured me a Screwdriver. [Keep Reading!]

I found this list as a downloadable, and is therefore not mine. I am republishing it for the general benefit of the NVC community, and will remove it if the author requests. This list references groups that exist in different themes using the technology of NVC, as defined by Marshall Rosenberg.
I am a member of a few, lurking to gather information and plan to interact soon. [Keep Reading!]
An old friend from the Beer Meetings in Lansing called me yesterday when he was near Biloxi and asked what I was up to. Our adventures usually have a beginning and an ending, but the in-between is always blurry. Starting off with a few Dark and Stormy’s at my place, we grabbed two Silver Bullets and walked up to the trolley. She was running late, so we enjoyed both before hopping onto the crowded streetcar.

I’m sitting on the steps walking down to the Mississippi River. She’s high again today, with her brown murky waters christening the tops of a few sand bags. Acting as a final layer of protection to the French Quarter, these sandbags are only for a worst case scenario.
It’s Saturday afternoon, and I just finished a glass of iced citrus herbal tea at a cafe on Frenchman. I’ve spent my morning with a skip to my step, fueled by a great week at work, sunshine, and relationships with new friends in town. I’ve only been here a month and I’ve found more to do with incredible people than I had imagined possible. I’m out more often here than I ever was in East Lansing, Traverse City, or Ann Arbor. The ability to easily find something fun, exciting and unique is abound in this city. For instance, last night, I played a few holes of disc golf at City Park, then enjoyed a Dark and Stormy (a cocktail made by mixing dark rum and ginger beer) with Valerie, who had a few watermelon mojitos.

I sit outside the Marigny Brasserie on a Sunday at half past four, enjoying a locally rolled and lit Robusto cigar that I picked up from the local Smoke Shop on Decatur. Finding a smooth cigar to set the mood is always as easy as following your nose in this city. And much like the cigar, so is just about anything you desire. [Keep Reading!]
This article is not to stand on a soapbox and to lament on the reasons for either vegetarianism, veganism, or is it strictly for the purpose of defending carnivores across the planet. Instead, I’ve written this article as more of a story of what I’ve found through countless hours of research, attending lectures, performing experiments on my own body, and ultimately finding a ground that I am comfortable standing on in regards to morals, food, the environment, and the spiritual thread that weaves it all together.

Yayy! I’m super excited. Kelly McBurney just posted on my Facebook wall that she and her brother each ordered a whistle, meaning that Whistles #24 and #25 were purchased! My goal was to raise awareness for Falling Whistles and have my friends and family support them buy purchasing 25 whistles for my 25th birthday. [Keep Reading!]

Today is my 25th birthday. I got to ‘ring it in’ with James and Cassandra last night at Perkins, enjoying an omelet in Gainesville, FL. I recorded this short 13-min video on what I want for my birthday, and how you can help me get to my goal. Please watch the video and help if you can. [Keep Reading!]

My Dad asked me to help him with a website today that he has been volunteering with. The original creator used WordPress and the TwentyTen theme. Everything worked well, but Dad wanted a right-side sidebar. I decided to overhaul it with Thesis, as it’s such great theme to use.
One of his requests was to be able to link to YouTube videos, and have them pop-up without taking the person off the page, or actually having the video on the site. I knew a Lightbox was what he wanted, but it was tricky to find one. [Keep Reading!]
