New in .photography: Autumn leafscapes at Wildwood. I needed some fresh air after a long illness (hence the lack of updates here), and it felt like today would be the best day to get good shots of the leaves still on the trees given the upcoming weather. The sun agreed with me for once, and I think I got some good shots. Blog updates will resume shortly, although my courseload at work just doubled so I won’t be spitting them out as rapid-fire as I…
New in .photography: Downtime at the University of Toledo. I headed over there yesterday to take more photos for the .musecast and check out all the changes there since I hadn’t been there in a few years.

At first the .org was little more than a new look and repurposing of personal Webspace I had with a dial-up account of mine (remember those?), but over the coming months I would keep adding sections to it, most notably this blog component that was originally hosted on Blogspot before I integrated it into the .org. As part of the redesign…
