We had a visitor today with a rather large nose.

Allman Farm Near Sunrise

I pass an old, abandoned farm on a regular basis. Yesterday I opted to stop and take a few pictures.

I initially wanted to Instagram them but instead opted to leave them natural. This is the first time I took a set of pictures using just my iPhone 5. I hope you enjoy them.

Needy Humans

I find it pretty easy to relate to many of the cartoons from Cat vs. Human.

Kitty.

This might not make sense to those unfamiliar with The Big Bang Theory.

American Nomads Documentary

Craig Keirstead — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:09:29 +0000

I was poking around a site I recently discovered called New Escapologist and happened upon this blog post which brought to my attention a BBC documentary called American Nomads. A British journalist -Richard Grant- interviews several types of nomads here in the U.S. Among them are retirees in RVs, teens hopping trains, hitchhikers and rodeo cowboys. It’s quite the interesting 90 minutes and I recommend that you take some time to watch and enjoy it.

Friday Night Lights: Humid Edition

Last night, on a warm, (very) humid evening in Northwest Ohio my wife and I chaperoned the high school marching band at the home football game. It was fun to see things from a different perspective, not unlike how I recall my own high school marching band years.

My First Podcast Appearance

Craig Keirstead — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 07:35:17 +0000

I’m pleased to have been a guest on Robert Wall’s Untitled Minimalism podcast. Robert and I spent time talking about a number of things but I like how he summed up our conversation:

For most, collections are invitations to clutter. Today we’re talking with Craig about his personal journey toward a minimalist life, and his experience with collecting things – both before and after his transition to minimalism.

I invite you to listen to episode #6 of the Untitled Minimalism Podcast.

Caught My Eye | July 20, 2012

Here’s the 3rd installment in my weekly series highlighting various things in the news or on the web that have captured my attention:

7-Eleven Mashed Potato Vending Machine | While not yet available in the United States, the lucky folks in Asia are currently able to enjoy hot mashed potatoes and gravy dispensed from a Slurpee-like machine. Yum? Hmm. Maybe not.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Trailer with Pee Wee Herman Voices | Pee Wee was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last week and overdubbed the trailer for the new Batman movie. It’s an amusing take on things.

TV Star Doesn’t Own a TV or Cell Phone | Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa apparently doesn’t feel a television or cell phone are necessary in his life. Nice to see someone in Hollywood swimming against the current once in a while.
