To celebrate digitaleidoscope’s independence from WordPress, I’ve added a collection of my photography. All the pictures from the photography posts I’ve done over the years can now be found in one place, along with some additional images I discovered on my hard drive and figured I’d throw in. There’s also a bunch of photos from a photography course I took back in 2012, which I’ve never posted before. If you’ve enjoyed my photography before, check out the new page! I think you’ll like it.

Let’s Level Up Our Farming Skill!
So we’ve started a garden. Yeah, I know this is a blog about the Digital Age, but occasionally it’s nice to get back to basics, even for us nerds. To get down to earth. To get our hands dirty. And actually, maintaining a garden is a little videogame-y, if you think about it. I just recently got back into Lord of the Rings Online, and it’s interesting how similar they feel. (I’m not crazy, I swear.) There’s that same slow crawl, the work-at-it-a-little-every-day mentality. Except in an MMO you’re fighting monsters and crafting items (I have a character who farms,
The Faces of Anime Boston
Before this last weekend, I had never been to a convention. Anime, videogame, Star Trek cons — nothing. I had a general idea of what happened at these sorts of things, but no real sense of what to expect. A day and a half in, and those are basically the words that came out of my mouth. “I don’t know what I was expecting.” “But this isn’t it?” she asks, to which I really have no answer. The only one I can come up with is the rather dull “I don’t know.” It feels like a thought interrupted. Was I
After the Storm
There’s a graveyard of rotting machinery in the woods behind my house: forgotten tractors, decrepit digging equipment, and the skeletons of ancient cars, half-sunken in the earth. I go there, after the storm, to watch them decay a little more — bit by bit, paint chip by paint chip, molecule by molecule. Every year, they crumble a touch more, sink an finger deeper. It’s always fascinated me — this place in winter: the rich, earthy brown of mechanical husks against the pure white of snow. These contraptions that, once upon a time, sputtered and roared with unnatural noise, that lurched
This Unit Requires a Recharge
Dear diary blog blogary dialog …bliary? I give up. Dear guys, I pulled an all-nighter last night to finish a project, then I dragged myself around campus for about ten hours between classes and club stuff. Is it possible for me to get away with only posting a couple pretty pictures tonight and leaving the words for later? I can’t seem to find many words right now. Where did I leave them? Could they be hiding in my bed? Will definitely have to check there. Could take a while…
Images of Summer
Where I live, we’ve just had our second good snowfall. It’s getting pretty darn cold, too. It may not technically be winter yet, but it’s good enough for me. I’m a big fan of winter, for the record. It’s my second favorite season, right after autumn. But for everyone who gets down in the dumps around this time of year, with all its grey, cloudy, slushy dreariness, I thought I’d try to brighten things up, even if it’s just for a minute of your day. So here are some way tacky close-ups of flowers that I took two summers ago.
