Lately, I’ve taken up a strong interest in photography as of late. In doing so I’ve decided to upgrade from my little Samsung NV15 P&S to a Nikon D5000 DSLR so I can get more serious about what I’m doing. I had some great encouragement with my Old Main at Wayne State picture with the University featuring it on their site and twitter feed, and my Down the Tracks shot was a Daily Deviant on DeviantArt last month.
I’ve been quite humbled by the encouragement that people have given me, and it has pushed me to keep pushing myself. I have a lot to learn, but am having a blast doing it.
With that in mind, I’ve found myself in more of a “take pictures” kind of creative mood instead of a “write stuff down” creative mood. So, I realized that before too long I’d end up turning this into a photoblog, which I don’t want to do. So I’m going to launch one sometime in the coming weeks at the start of the new year. The site is currently being developed and it will be a more complete actual place to showcase pictures and allow for comments instead of this place, which really is better for writing than pictures. I’ll have a fully integrated store to order prints, better than the one I’m currently using, and will look great.
More info later. And thanks for your support everyone

I recently had a revelation about my future, deciding that I really don’t want to stare at a computer screen making websites with overpriced yuppie baby clothing for the rest of my life, so I’ve started exploring options for Graduate school. I went down to Wayne State yesterday to check out their MBA open house at the advice of @egross just to see what it was all about. Overall, I was impressed with the program but am leery about all the pre-reqs I’d have to take, and that would just take more time and throw me further in debt than I need to be. But with that said, I have the GPA to get in and I would just have to take the GMAT test, only $250, so I’m thinking about it.
Back to the point, so I register at the open house thing, and later that night, I get this in my mailbox:
A little bizarre and creepy, to say the least, but mad props to them for using twitter (Baker College just did SMS alerts for stuff).
I have a meeting in an hour with Robin Boyle, the director of the Urban Planning department and I’ll have a better idea what I want to do then. So it’ll be an interesting day, we’ll see who’s watching my tweets by next week lol.

Well, this sure isn’t a grand feeling. My T-Mobile sidekick is synced with Danger, Inc. for all of my contacts, notes, etc. Now, this is cool because if I lose my phone, get a new one, etc all my stuff is still there. No Facebook groups for “I lost my phone I need numbers!” for me. But today, I’m paying the price for that. The constant sync with Danger means that if www.sidekick.dngr.com fails to work, as it is today, I can’t get at any of my data. Including phone book entries. After messing around with my phone to no avail, I tried using my online desktop interface through my.tmobile.com and it won’t load either, so Danger has crashed and taken down who knows how many sidekicks with it. But this is highly upsetting. Things like txt and picture messages started to come back, as well as did the clock, but this is just plain a pain in the ass.
Danger, get your stuff together. I know that M$FT aquired you earlier in the year, but this is no excuse. With Google’s Android right around the corner and MS doing who knows what with the sidekicks, I might be going a different route next time I get a new phone anyways. But things like this definately do not help.
EDIT: Literally, as soon as I hit submit, my phone went nuts and I got my emails back. Maybe things are getting fixed!
In other news, I applied for a position at Twitter. It’s working from home doing support staff, basically answering emails for customers quickly and efficiently. Nothing that’s beyond my capabilities, but let’s see how stiff the competition is for something like this. I would love to work for twitter, it’s something I’m quite familiar with and besides, who wouldn’t want that on their resume?
Ooh, and after screwing up my new camera, I’ve sent it to an authorized Samsung repair center in New York. So much for the good price I got for it
