Tiny Little Life

Please pardon my sense of humor.
Thought this up today. If you don’t get the joke, look at the filename.

Just when you think the weather is too cold for spiders, they surprise you. This one showed up on my countertop.
It was small and in a hurry, so only 2 shots came out clear. It jumped a few times, about 20 times its body length in each jump.

Here’s a shot from the side […]

I threw together another shelf… to hold a bunch of jars with shells in them.
I guess this is technically function over form, but … I don’t see any form. My goal was to use as little wood as possible, all of which was 1″x3″ pine.
I should probably paint it.

I added the image that I submitted with my first data visualization assignment.
This one is slightly better (fixed some errors).

Well, its been 3 months since I decided to start typing using the dvorak layout. I must say that switching has been both a blessing and a curse. One thing that I can say with certainty is that typing dvorak is less of a strain than qwerty. My speed in dvorak […]

This is my best image from the first assignment in my data visualization class. The goal is to represent the speed and direction of currents in the Pacific Ocean.

First, the before shot (a demo from the professor). This was created by pushing particles around a space; faster currents create longer trails. This […]

I rescued this old-school rotary phone, which was being sold “as-is”. After some cleaning, polishing, and wiring, it is back in working order.
Sorry, forgot to take the “before” shot.
For those of you who are keeping score, this is an early-1980s replica of a 1950s french model phone. I’m happy to have found it, […]

I registered my own domain for the site; the new address is http://tinylittlelife.org.
It may take another day for the update to go through, so you may see a godaddy.com page until then.

Most of the photos on this site have been taken with a Sony Cybershot DSC-W1. This weekend I gave it a hard shell finish, with credit for the idea going to this guy.
This is what I see when I shoot for this site. I love this camera and everything its done for me.

This […]

276 cpm today. 15% errors. To be fair, I’m starting to run into trouble with the length of text I get to read before I have to type it. If I could read further ahead, I could type words instead of characters…
Anyway, progress.
