Seek The Substantial

Last night Miranda and I went to Randy and Ann’s for dinner.

This is why you should always take your camera with you. This is just driving along and taking a couple of quick pictures.

Me and Olive

Miranda and me. She’s singing here.

This is Curly, Randy’s new dog. It’s really hard to get a picture of him because he’s constantly in motion. I was lucky here.

Curly attacks.

I believe I am the world’s worst in regards to the news. I don’t read it and I generally don’t watch the world news because I don’t need to be depressed. I am trying to change that by trying to read some select items on the internet. The first one I’ll throw out is a weekly email from Activate. It’s a nice compilation of the weeks news and with it being sent to me in an email form I’m more likely to read it. This news group also sends out a bi-monthly edition related to books called Boldtype, and one related to music (but I think it’s only electronica, which is not exactly up my alley).

I’ve also been reading Slate and it’s a really nice review of the days’ news. I initially started reading this site while I was in Austin and I had so much free time to waste on the internet. I decided early on that the least I could do is educate myself and this was one of those sites that helped me do that. Slate additionally does a nice job of linking all of the major newspaper articles so if you want to visit those pages then you have that option.
