In the entire twenty years of this website’s existence, I have never monetized it. No ads, no gimmicks, nada. It has been self-sufficient this whole time. But, all of a sudden I find myself in a situation where rising costs of server hosts and email hosts may be too

What’s in store for me in the direction I don’t take? Jack Kerouac

Hard Finish

The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it. Ernest Hemingway

Live Life Write

In order to write about life first you must live it. Ernest Hemingway

Watch 9 Compass App with Wayfinding Integration

The latest iOS software version has been released this week and I have some ooh, ahh and WTHs. Apple WatchOS has a new way finding tool built in to its compass. Why the hell didn’t Apple see fit to update the same Compass app design with Wayfinding in its

Almost There?

Almost two weeks without alcohol. Minimal soda consumption in two weeks. Currently 14 hours without smoking pipe tobacco.

Battlefield Of The Mind

It’s cool to use the computer, don’t let the computer use you… There is a war going on. The battlefield’s in the mind. And the prize is the soul. The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, 1999

Now What?

I am a mixture of both casual and intentional photographer. Sometimes, the images come to me in a zen-like manner. I wait, listen and feel for them. Other times, I shoot deliberation and determination. I purposefully plan and will them into reality. I also take images to document as an

Photography Pt. 2

Right now, the Photo Denbow brand is a mess and it is frustrating

Photography Too

“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” – Pablo Picasso

Regarding The Last Post

Suppose we suddenly wake up and see that what we thought to be this and that, ain’t this and that at all? Jack Kerouac

Bored

After reading about the latest Apple products yesterday I had to ask “What drives American consumerism?” Americans are bored. Or we want the latest and greatest. This is a new concept to me and I find myself content with what I have for now.

This Week

It’s been about a solid week since re-using iA Writer exclusively, instead of Ulysses and I’m thrilled to be back. I’ve never stuck with iA Writer except for editing Markdown files but now I am using it exclusively to publish here. I’m thinking I have too

Geo Location

I’ve enjoyed using the DayOne journal app on my Apple devices since 2016 because it includes the current date/time, weather and location of the post in every entry. But I am not a fan of paying for an annual subscription so I am looking at building my own

Digital > Analog

I am on a hiatus with analog film photography for now. The price of film, developing, scanning is getting out of control and is not sustainable for me right now. I love the results but damn. Going all-digital for a while.

Back To Flickr

I was a charter member of the photo hosting site, Flickr since it’s inception back in 2005. Since then it has been a shit-show roller coaster and grew stagnant. It’s been sold more than a few times and then again to a more stable photo host called SmugMug.

Foolish Things

I’m a fool, the new day rises on the world and on my foolish life… Jack Kerouac

Make Do With What You Got

Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with that there is. Ernest Hemingway

A Different Path

Lately I am having issues with my ankles turning while on a dirt trail or geocaching. I think city hiking for a while is a good alternative. Future walks will include paved trails, parks, desire paths and green spaces. More wandering, more flanuering. These evoke freedom, serendipity, and encounters with

Body Over Mind

Which should I listen to? I’ve come to realize lately that my body has more self-wisdom than my mind. My mind tells me what I want to do, whereas the body tells me what I should do. Huge difference, Should is moral and ethical dogma, when must is a

No Apologies

Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry. Jack Kerouac

Adventure Lab- Tulsa Street Art

From the creators of Geocaching.com comes a fairly new way to use GPS coordinates to find different locations and learn about them. I just published an Adventure that highlights some street murals in Tulsa. AL is a free download and free to play. You can get it from the

GC9Z580

This geocache hide from a friend was just pure evil. Took a bit and I even put my hands on it, but Miss Adventure found it first. Aargh.

Walk Talk

A diary or journal of a walk is a tough format to produce. The minutia is the core of the experience but it can be hard to translate I prefer essays about walking and public spaces that are more philosophical but unsure of how to do it.

A Better Map

There is a need for a Global Atlas of Pedestrian Infrastructure. Maps of pedestrian bridges, desire paths, public parks and green spaces, pedestrian only roads, sidewalks to nowhere, trails and paths. No car infrastructure in any the maps.
