Workman's Waste of Time

IT'S HAPPENING TO THE BIG BOYS, TOO

From today's New York Times:
A Generation of Local TV Anchors is Signing Off

If this article is any indication, my future may lie in large animal medicine. Hmmmm...

LIMPING TO THE FINISH

Another grand experiment is over and it was a... success?

While this year's NaBloPoMo was to be a flourishing of creative forces, it turned out to be a little bit less than that. Technical problems, a job search, and a vacation all conspired to eat up almost all my spare time. So while I had hoped to have something substantial every day, there were more than a few half-assed posts thrown in there, too.

However, there were a few posts, good ones, that probably wouldn't have existed had I not made the commitment to post something here every day in the month of November. So there certainly was some value to be had there.

As a matter of fact, there are some leftover ideas that I hadn't used from this past month that will surely find their way onto this space.

As for now, I'm going to bed.

BLACK FRIDAY

This post was supposed to be a series of photos of my friends and I having a great dinner in San Francisco. Alas, the little guys decided to throw a fit rather than enjoy the fun. So alas, no pictures. No dinner, either.

It's time to come home.

FAROE FRIDAY: A LOOK AT TORSHAVN

I'm away from the internet this week, so I don't know if there is any real news to be had in the Faroe Islands this week. Instead, let's take a look at some pictures.

I've remarked many times that there are few good photos of Torshavn, the capitol of the Faroe Islands, on the internet. Perhaps it's the beautiful countryside that causes people to ignore the only town of any real size in the Faroes. But whatever the case, it's a shame. Torshavn is colorful place that actually looks great in pictures.

Luckily, German photographer Arne List has remedied the situation. He's captured the parts of Torshavn that the people who live there see every day. And here I'm speaking specifically about the only pizza place in town.

He also nicely captures the feeling of the residential neighborhoods...These photos are all the more notable because of the beautiful light. Torshavn isn't known as a sunny place, and the patches of good weather can be fleeting. Yet somehow List is actually able to capture people taking in the sun.Even the public art seems to be enjoying the scarce rays of the sun...A great set of photos. And thanks to Arne for letting me post them here. He's got a lot more great stuff on Flickr.
