He did it, He did it! Guess What He did?

A man hard at work....


Our new homemade antenna. Works like a charm.


First homemade detergent, and now this? Whatever will we make next?

Look what I did!

I'm just a little bit excited about my newest project.

It all started with three little products.

A little grating-that's Fels-Naptha, not cheese.

Some food processor action. Jake looks thrilled to be helping.

And voila, we have our very own homemade laundry detergent. Yipeee.

Happy Jake

Why's this guy so happy?

He made his first cent since March 2007. This definitely called for some high class champagne. If you need a substitute a teacher, give him a call- rumor has it that he's pretty dang good.

Portraits Without Photoshop Gimmicks

Hello, all.

A couple weeks ago, in the last throws of summer, I took Jill onto the UO campus and shot practice portraits of her. This is all in the hopes that I might someday coerce high school students to abandon the option of expensive and impersonal corporate senior photography, and let me tailor my portraits to their lifestyles for a cheaper price (I love undercutting when I can).

Anyway, here are a few of the results, albeit without Photoshop gimmicks (or even photoshop on age wrinkles, much to Jill's dismay). For a fun game, look for Jill's most forced smile; can you tell which shots were taken towards the end of the shoot?

I will post a link to the rest of them soon.

I am the Teacher

I promise never to yell in class,

and I promise not to talk in line.

I promise not to throw things,

or to hit or punch. I promise not

to have temper tantrums, and to always be good.

I will set a good example for all of the children.

because, I am the Teacher…

I am the Teacher…

I am the Teacher.
