Frivology

I’m heading out here, to Death Valley for a few days for another little photo safari. The last time I went, it was the beginning of June and scorching hot. This time around is a little better planned for the weather, and hopefully we’ll get to see some wildflowers. I just got a killer set of new extension tubes that I’m just dying to try out on something other than the plants outside my apartment door. The second picture above is a preview of what I can do with my new macro goodies.

It’s really great stuff and a ton of fun. I’ll be returning home Sunday night, but likely not really around until Monday. Until then, I’ve added another blogger to Frivology who goes by the name of ‘Articulett’. I met her on the Richard Dawkins forum and I’ll let her introduce herself, but I find her to be absolutely brilliant.

Until Monday!

I just got a subscription to elegant themes, which has some really nice themes at really good prices.  I usually like to make my own themes, but with this particular blog this time around, I’m trying to limit my time messing with web design so that I can maximize the amount of time I can spend actually blogging.  That said, you’ll probably see some weirdness around here while I work out the bugs and get this just the wya that I want it.  It’s got a nice start, though.

I took stock of what I read over the weekend, and a vast majority of it comes from either Google News search on a few topics (atheism, atheist, prayer, christianity, etc…) and from a handful of mostly big-name Atheist blogs.  I realized that if I want to truly stretch my legs, so to speak, I was going to have to connect to more… so here’s my first step. 

I signed up to join both Planet Atheism and The Atheist Blogroll.  I’m not sure if there are other lists out there that I don’t know about yet, or other sources to branch myself out, but I’m hoping that this will be a good start to both putting myself out there more and to learning about different blogs to read.  I’m new enough at this that I don’t even really know where to look, and there are so very many Atheist blogs that I tend to get lost if I just start surfing. 

So welcome if you’re coming by for the first time.  Drop me a line if you know of something you think I might like reading!
