Geekfest 2008!

Did I mention I'm catching up. Geekfest this year stepped away from the shooting and more into the listening. I certainly hope (and I heard many from many others who also hope), that it get's back to it's roots of shooting.

We always seem to find some really cool hotels. The management said they just made this elevator electric recently.






Dinner after listening to Kenny Irby speak.



The photo slam. A poetry slam while a slideshow of photos rolls.










Chip Litherland is so color coordinated!


Michael Williamson is in the same boat we're in.

b-cleaning: E-Ink the future!

I've been raving about this stuff. I think it could really revolutionize the way that magazine and newspapers work. Imagine having the entire newspaper on one thin sheet. This is e-ink and it's being used today in the 75th anniversary issue of Esquire!

Old times (File)

I'm hitting the rewind button here. I've been so swamped with stuff that some photos have fallen through the cracks. I just downloaded my card with pictures from my last day at the Daytona Beach News-Journal. It was on June 23rd.

I've talked about the day before. To recap, nothing was told to us but we knew something was up. I pulled out my camera and documented as much as I could.

It wouldn't be a documentary of my last day if I didn't have a shot of myself.


What a wonderful day for layoffs....


They were very welcoming...


The room of doom...


It helped that everyone, even those staying, had to clean out their desks. It's really too bad that there is no bureau in DeLand anymore, there are a lot of great stories and no one to do a decent job of covering them.


Ronald Williamson is the man! This guy is one of the greatest writers around. He can take you from place to place with his words. You won't know quite how you got there, but you'll know it was one of the greatest rides you ever had.
