I had 13 plans and goals in this section, which makes it the largest section of all. That’s to be expected, considering I am a professional juggler, and juggling is one of my main hobbies. ” Keep improving my solo shows and performing skills.” Win.

“Keep working on cruise ships, though structuring the my time away better than last year to maximize time in Berlin/with friends/doing my own thing.” Win! I could have structured my time at home better than I did, but at least I did it better than 2009. I took all of May and most of June [...]

Back at the beginning of the year I made a list on my blog of many plans and goals for 2010. The list wasn’t very well thought out, I just wrote it as I went, putting down things I wanted to accomplish in various areas. When I later counted them up, the total number of [...]

In the past few months I bought myself a new camera (a Canon 60D) and my first external flash unit. I felt as though I had improved enough that I was no longer the weakest link in my equipment collection, and the quality of my previous camera (a 500D) was holding me back. And after [...]

In November I took a three day trip to Rome, spending some air miles to spend time with my girlfriend at the end of her holiday. I posted these on Facebook, and a comment from a friend was “Did you see any buildings, or did you only take photos of your girlfriend?” The truth is [...]

I set up my camera for a “luke staying dry” version of this shot, and it looked pretty good. As I was waiting by the (dry) camera, a freak wave soaked me completely. As I was already wet, I decided to go for increasingly dramatic extreme juggling. I lost one juggling beanbag. Unfortunately, this is [...]

Light Side – a twisted take on Dark Side by Tim Minchin. Jamming with my guitar, this idea got stuck in my head, so I wrote and recorded it as quick as I could. It’s not perfect, but then I hadn’t written down all the words. It might make more sense if you watch the [...]

Back in May I wrote a post about listening to my entire iTunes music library in order. It was a followup to a post from last year about doing the same thing. The first time I listened to all the tracks sorted by track name. The second time I listened sorted by track length. In [...]

Someone asked “Why the hell don’t you get a Flickr account? It must be a far better way to share your photos than posting 20+ at a time.” So I wrote back with something like this: Let me tell you a little how I make my blog posts. What I want: A single post with [...]
