where you at? on da corner…

While I like to think of odfm as my home on the web, there are also other places I can be found. If you too spend time on one or several of these sites, feel free to add me to your list of compadres by clicking on the icons above. If I deny you friend [...]

I will be right here waiting for you

Here’s a video from the trip that started it all (and in that sentence, “it all” refers to “online diary for the masses”). Short, sweet, and bound to brighten your day at least a little bit.

Week III: Photo-a-day

Happy Monday friends. It’s yet another photo post. I’m beginning to rethink using weekly posts as a venue of presenting these photos to the masses, as it is quickly taking over odfm’s content. Other options are flickr, monthly facebook albums, or just not sharing them at all, but as things are better when shared, I’m [...]

how to electronically brighten someone’s day

Sometimes the simplest things in life — the things that seem so little, so trivial — are actually big blessings under the guise of Small and Insignificant. This holds true not only in the real world, but also in the Interwebs world. Below are four examples of things that, if you cause them to appear [...]

Week II: Photo-a-day

It’s that time again: yet another Photo-a-day post is upon us. This gallery displays shots from dates January 11-17. I’ve chosen to share it once again in fancy thumbnail format. What that means for you sensible Google Reader users is this: you should press “V” to experience this post to the fullest extent (and thank [...]

post-run conversations

Week I: Photo-a-day

In an effort to develop both my creativity and ability in the photography world, I’ve set out on the tried and true take-at-least-one-photo-every-day-of-the-year ship. Doubtless there are scores who have sailed this ship before, and tons who’ve done it better than I will, but I’m going for it nonetheless.
This installment features 10 photos (Jan 1 [...]

book review vol. twenty: Lamb

Last night I finished reading one of the (if not the) funniest books I’ve ever read.
Christopher Moore’s Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal came to me with high recommendation from Colby Ivey and literally came in the mail from Mikey Mills. It tells the story of Jesus’ formative years, the ones that [...]

beards and why I’m not cool

For as long as I can recall I’ve possessed several nonconformist tendencies. The earliest of which was my hatred of wearing the same shirt as everyone else in my day care/grade/youth group on various outings that each would take. The most recent takes the form of hair on my face and my apparent refusal to [...]
