Ergonomical Improvements (+ Thanks!)

My dad often (read: always) has a project on the go. Fixing, Designing, Inventing, Installing. He is a man of many talents who loves to stew on an idea and then begin his handy-work. Having time at home this summer, I am blessed to be the receiving end of many fruits of his labor and wanted to do a little blog-shout-out to him as an expression of thanks for my new ergonomically correct computer stand.


Out with the "trendy" + overpriced carpo-enducing stand and in with the custom designed, wrist-friendly, still stylish and free (for me) computer stand (complete with ventilation holes for my sometimes-toasty laptop).

Thanks Dad!

The War Photographer | James Nachtwey

There are photographers whose work I admire and then there are..or is a "photographer hero". This distinction is for James Nachtwey. Through his images and the incredible dedication to making these images) he affords the viewer the opportunity to see social, political, and economic realities in a way that is chilling and inspires change. Listen to his share in the video from TED. (Click HERE if you are unable to view the video)
