  • “Chattanooga” montage

    People sometimes ask what it is I do during the day, for my “day job” as an editor at Atomic Films. Well, um, I edit videos for clients — ranging from TV commercials to corporate videos to documentaries. That’s just about when their eyes start to glaze over from my answer, so here’s an actual…

  • Cinn-cin-ati

    Made it to Cinncinati — where it’s 10 degrees outside. Big change from California, where it felt like it was 50 – 70 every day. Next flight looks to be on time. Soon I’ll be home!

  • Leaving the Friskies

    Well, the time has come to leave San Francisco and wing my way home to Chattanooga. Now sitting in the SFO airport, waiting for my delayed flight to board. Hope y’all have enjoyed my updates and pictures — I’ll add some more stories once I get home.

  • SF 2008, Part 5

    Fifth set of pictures have been posted.

  • SF 2008: moving in lapsed time

    I’ve been taking some timelapse movies and other videos with my new Canon 870IS (in addition to photos, of course).

  • SF 2008, Part 4

    Fourth set of pictures have been posted. On Wednesday, I rested at the house and read more about the history of Tennessee. Later that night, King and I journeyed out to the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), Mission Bay campus, which is evidently all the way over to the other side of town.…

  • SF 2008, Part 3

    Third set of pictures have been posted. On Sunday, King and Gwen took me to lunch at Joanna’s Diner in San Mateo, and then we parked the car at Fort Mason, overlooking the Bay and downtown, and walked down to Fisherman’s Wharf, where we caught a boat for a Bay Cruise. The weather was perfect…

  • SF 2008, Part 2

    Second set of pictures from San Francisco have been posted. On Saturday, after catching up on my rest, I travelled with King all the way to the local Post Office, walking nearly a block. After a few moments rest inside the po-po as King transacted with the better clerk for conveying his DVD package around…

  • SF 2008, Part 1

    First set of pictures from San Francisco, featuring my travel.

  • You said what?

    So, so sleepy. And ears still haven’t popped yet. What? I can’t hear you… Tomorrow I’m switching to Pacific time. Maybe I’ll have my hearing back. What?

  • Wheels… almost… touching…

    Touchdown in California! Waiting to disembark the plane & meet up with King & Gwen.

  • SF 2008: The 767

    Here I am, sitting on a 767-300. Now *this* is a good-sized plane. The jet from Chattanooga was a small CRJ200: about a sixteenth of the space in here, if not less. The weather in Atlanta today appears to be beautiful. Still another 20 minutes of loading up this plane. I scored a window seat…

  • Atlanta Airport: Playground/Amusement Park

    Made it to Atlanta. Roaming around the airport — it’s like an amusement park, especially if you have time (as I have) and if you’re not stressed (which is a state I’m blissfully sliding into: the stress of the last few weeks starting to melt away). As I sit here in the food court munching…

  • Slight delay

    Well, perfection is over-rated. The ASA flight to ATL is slightly delayed, but no worries here — I have a 3 hour layover in the city of my birth.

  • To San Francisco (2008)

    I’m heading out to San Francisco to wander around that beautiful city, sleep, hang out with King and Gwen, sleep some more, take pictures, read up on Tennessee History, go to Macworld Expo, and so on Currently sitting in the Chattanooga airport. On schedule perfectly so far. Next stop Atlanta and then winging to the…
