The Best Lock…
The image on the front page of Pixelog right now has to be one of the best macro shots I’ve taken to date with my G2. If you view the larger image, you can see rust flakes even – I love the detail. Now if only there was more time in the day [...]
Day Trading…
Just a reminder – if you’ve been playing BlogShares, you have less than 12 hours or so (since it is 1pm GMT already) to cash out all your stocks so that you can take your cash over to the game when it leaves beta mode to go live.
Or you can do what I’m doing, scoop [...]
Feng Shui, Blog Style…
I’ve been doing some Feng Shui rearranging around here for the past day or two, behind the scenes, and it feels good. The sharp angles aren’t in spots where they hurt when you bump in to them, and there are fish and plants. Ok, not really, but it still feels good to do [...]
Snob-o-Meter…
Just yesterday I was complaining about the concept of a Reality TV channel. Then the TiVo, always looking out for me, shared a clip of Manor House, currently airing on PBS. Nineteen volunteers move in to a house set in Edwardian Britian and live out life as servants and masters. They have [...]
Amazing…
My Tiny Garden is breathtaking and amazing. I dream of someday being able to take photographs like that. [via alyshajane.com]
Down with J-Mo!
There it is. Photographic evidence that J-Mo and I met in person Friday night. Well, the picture was actually snapped in the wee hours of Saturday morning, but do you still call that Friday? Or is it Saturday? I think if I haven’t slept yet, it counts as Friday. Right?
Subtle…
I’ve had the good fortune over the past several months to get a glimpse of the woman the world knows as Heather Champ. From the first time I contacted her regarding PictureYourself, she has been incredibly supportive. Having the opportunity to spend time with her at SXSW this year was nothing but a [...]
Meryl & Paul Had a Baby!
I thought I posted this earlier, but a look further down the page made me realize I didn’t. Oops! Meryl and Paul had their baby! He was born on Monday, April 28, after an eventful day at the hospital. His name is Zachary Raimi, and I’ll let Meryl fill you in [...]
Legislate the Bedroom Too…
Feel the need to beat your head on the wall? Then read Sen. Rick Santorum’s comments on homosexuality in an AP interview. I thought the man was slightly whacked at first. Then I got to this:
It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn’t exist in my opinion [...]
Too Much Reality!
I saw it on the Captivate screen in the elevator, and I really hoped it wasn’t true … but it is. A Reality TV Channel is in the works. Come on people, enough is enough! I turn on my TV to get away from reality – I don’t need a reality channel! [...]
Evolution is a Good Thing…
The always faboo Donna has created the Blogging Evolution Exam. I think some code guru genius needs to make this baby interactive so we can score it online and post our scores on our sites, just like the Blogger code! I’ll let you know what my score is as soon as I tally [...]
Shhh… Working Hard…
The party went well yesterday and the boys all had a good time. Mike came over after EJ & Sherry’s wedding – I had to miss it for the birthday party, but I didn’t want him to miss it too. He said it was really nice, and I wish I could have been [...]
Girls Night, Part 3…
Jen said more about the evening and put it so much better than I ever could. Yes, I was coincidentally wearing pink. Yes, I took a Picture Yourself style photo, I will share it tonight. Yes, we really did talk about all of you. But we didn’t say, anything bad. [...]
Boom, Boom, Boom, Let’s Go Back to my Room…
Yes, yes, it’s true. J-Mo and I got together for a few hours. I tell you… she is all that and a bag of chips! Wow. We must get together again soon.
Just for Jen, I think she’ll be amused … Bang, Banq, Bang. Now where is that waiter at… [...]
Meeting in the Middle…
I am going to go meet J-Mo. Right now. She’s coming from the South, I’m coming from the North, and we’re going to meet in the middle.
Margaritas will be involved. Hopefully, they won’t make her burp.
Now, don’t YOU wish you were here? I’m going to meet Jen! I’m going to [...]
An Open Letter to Dave Winer…
Dear Mr. Winer,
I hope you won’t mind me being so forward as to write to you. I know that we have never talked before, although I have followed your site for some time and I have especially paid attention to your trip to Boston and your work now at Harvard.
On your site recently, you [...]
Makin’ Blog Love…
It’s that time again. Erika has declared today a blogger love-in.
When you have a moment, go to each of the blogs you read and tell them why you love them so much. Then post one thing you’re happy about in your life. Then come back here (to Erika’s site, not mine), comment and be [...]
Celebrate!
Do you know what today is? Do you know what today is? Today is Kristine with a K’s Birthday! Happy, happy birthday to YOU! I hope you have nothing but a wonderful year ahead, and I am so grateful for having you as a friend. You are the best.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
An Important Phone Call…
Yet another really long rambling post, but … I needed content to fill the page!
I have read sites by Faith for years now. She was one of my first inspirations to get a site online – not a blog, mind you, but a classic 1997 GeoCities site. It took me another two years [...]
Everything Is For Sale…
eBay item 2924466320 (Ends Apr-29-03 20:04:43 PDT ) – I Will Link You on My Blog
Normally I would post this over in the “Cookie Crumbs” but it cracks me up so much I decided it deserved a full post. Is this going to be the next meme? Is everyone going to list their [...]

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
