Wow, I sure haven’t touched this blog in a long time. Maybe I will again. Maybe not.

In the meantime, I’ve started playing with Tumblr as a low-barrier way to post links and photos. I’m keeping it primarily photo/multimedia/art focused. You can follow here, if you’re interested in some more regular posting (at least in the near term): Meta.lopolis.com.

What else have I been up to? A good mix of work and play. I’m still regularly taking photos, which I post on Flickr here. I recently exceeded 4,000 total photos posted to Flickr. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years now since the first.
