Computer Scientist foolishly submits photography to art jury for campus building (no film anytime soon)
The University of Minnesota, Morris, recently open its new Welcome Center, a major renovation of what had become a sad little building into a shining, spiffy new space. Among other things, it’s a real tribute to the campus’s commitment to sustainability: When certified, the Welcome Center will be the first LEED Platinum building in the [...]

Reflecting on pasts and futures
I took over 1,000 pictures at yesterday’s 2010 graduation ceremony at UMM, and will sometime be putting the least bad of them on my events account on Flickr, but at the moment I have a ton of deadlines looming (grades, etc.) so that’ll have to wait a bit. The wind ensemble and choir both did [...]

I’m published in CACM! (But not in the way one might have thought)
The May, 2010, issue of the Communications of the ACM (CACM – the flagship magazine of the ACM) features a photograph of UMM CSci alum Tyler Hutchison presenting research work done with Andy Korth and Nic McPhee at MICS 2007. The article is “Student and Faculty Attitudes and Beliefs About Computer Science”. Andy and Tyler [...]

Holy Crap! Over 5,000 views in one day!
Friday was the second annual Fashion Trashion show, where a number of UMM’s Studio Art students grace the runway modeling outfits they’ve constructed primarily from recycled, reclaimed, and re-used materials. Jess Larson was kind enough to ask me to take pictures again (I shot the first show last year). I did indeed take a bunch [...]

Why the sudden interest in “feather braids”?
Anyone know why there’s been a sudden spike in searches for “feather braids”? I’ve seen a big spike in views on a photograph I took at the UMM Powwow back in 2007 (see the plot below). When I drill down into the search terms, it’s clear that lots of people are searching for “feather braids”, [...]

I love my cool family!
Welcome to Valentine’s Day, that annoyingly commercialized annual reminder that we’re actually supposed to care about the special people in our life. As Cory nicely put it Proving you really care about someone is an achievement that takes effort everyday. Chocolate and flowers on a single day won’t do. All that said, I figured it [...]

A heartfelt plug for “A history of the world in 100 objects”
The BBC in conjunction with the British Museum is putting on a new series this year, “A history of the world in 100 objects”. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, has chosen 100 objects from their remarkable collection to illustrate the sweep of human history, ranging from early stone axes through modern icons such [...]

Flickr Uploadr is a pain, but Flickraw saved the day
Flickr’s Uploadr is fine for small uploads, but tends to die consistently and unpleasantly when I have several hundred photos to upload, like those from Thursday’s opening of “The boys next door”, this year’s Morris Area High School one-act. It almost always takes me several tries to get a large pool of photos uploaded, which [...]
