365 Tree Project

365 Tree Project: Day 4 - Abstract, originally uploaded by mike_zellers.

I am taking a picture a day for a year of one of my favorite trees. I have wanted to do this for a while and finally took the plunge. This is the latest. Here is a link to the Flickr set

pardon the bad french and pretention. a fave painting of mine is magrite's ceci n'est pas une pipe. Well this is not me - not even a photo of me - a photo of my image on a screen. somehow abstracting magrite one level further seems to make sense in this digital/virtual age.

365 Project: R&R

365 Project: R&R, originally uploaded by mike_zellers.

Weekends for me (which nearly always include friday - a perk of teaching) is about balancing R&R with getting done all the tasks I can't get to during the work week. Given my recent stomach bug, the focus so far has been on rest, but have a few things to do later - including a reception for a charity auction for which I donated a photo.

365 Project - Day 1: Schlumpy

Adults are as vulnerable to peer pressure as anyone. Everyone else, it seems is doing the 365 project, so I must as well. I plan on creating images by a variety of methods - whatever works for the day...This was taken on my mac book using the built in iSight camera i PhotoBooth.

So, why schlumpy? Had a mild case of food poisoning yesterday - after eating cheese ravioli at a very nice restaurant. Prime suspect: alfredo sauce. Not to be deterred, I am back on the horse today - enjoyed a frozen Stouffers fettucine alfredo - pack my lunches in advance so this is what I had. Headache today. Last day teaching this week. Am teaching 4 days a week over summer term, which in retrospect, might have been a bit too much - as for us faculty, summer ought to be a time for renewal and to work on projects we can't get to during the year. So here i am - staring at laptop between classes waiting for lunch to heat.

LCCC Web Wiki

An adjunct faculty person and I are creating a Wiki we plan on using in some of our classes. We hope this will be a great resource created in a large part by our students that will benefit the campus community.
