Saw my breath tonight for the first time this season. That's always one of those moments that means something to me... a visual sign of Earth's eternal cycles. It's such a subtle onset. Slow, and quiet, yet a tangible indication that forces far beyond any human control are at work. It always makes me feel so small.

But enough about that. I've been ignoring this blog since I got DSL. There's just so many things that I couldn't do before... so much more information that I couldn't access. It's a little overwhelming. In a conversation with Ashley, one of the girls in our rental office, I brought up the point that with the Internet being accessible to anybody, nobody really has an excuse for not knowing anything.

I've found, though, that instead of partaking in much genuine informational input, my attention span has shortened to under an inch long and I want instant gratification. I had these high hopes for watching independent filmmakers' short movies and lots of National Geographic content, etc., but instead just find myself perusing the funny video websites and lots of porn.

Took another day off walking around with the camera. Here's the goodies:

Gotta have that "down the alley" shot.

Cleveland's Arcade

Cross-section of Dave's Original Cosmic Sub

Wool cap, leather jacket... very characteristic Clevelander.

Italian sausage with sweet peppers and saurkraut. YUM-O.

At Edgewater Park... a.k.a. "Waikiki North." Lake Erie Surfers pride themselves on being the last remnants of the original maverick-spirited surf culture, and they'll hit the breakers even when the temperature is just above freezing and they are dodging miniature ice bergs. On this day, it was in the mid 50's with a howling wind off of the lake. In jeans and a hoodie I was shivering.

Now, I have done something productive with broadband. I put a video on YouTube!
