Daily Photo: Goslings

More of the goose family. I took a lot of shots of these guys. Fort Collins has a real problem with them though. They were introduced to the area in the 1950s, and ever since then, the population has climbed steadily. Very few animals here prey on them. Humans don’t [...]

  • Anatomy of a Steampunk Photoshoot 11:20 am May 1, 2008
    Filed Under: Featured Resource, Photography, Top Post, Tutorial

    This was my first serious shoot with logistics involving a model, costuming, and a shoot location. To spend an hour and a half behind the camera, I spent probably 4 hours doing the various administrative tasks to set up. Here’s an overview of the process we went through to get the pictures I wanted.
    The [...]

  • Clay Shirky and The Cognitive Surplus 2:02 pm April 29, 2008
    Filed Under: Speculative Fiction/SF Business, Science, Top Post

    Continuing on the thoughts of yesterday’s post, I’ve recently read Clay Shirky’s speech, “Gin, Television, and Social Surplus.” You can read a transcript of it, or watch a video. I highly recommend checking out one or the other and coming back here. I’ll wait. For the lazy, here’’s a choice bit [...]

  • Making FlickrRSS Work for Me 10:48 pm April 10, 2008
    Filed Under: Web Design/Javascript, Top Post

    My goal with this new site is to not only to design a very clean, beautiful site, but to also showcase some of the nice effects that are possible with javascript libraries like jQuery (and teach myself how to effectively use them in the process). Last night, I worked for over 6 hours simply [...]

  • Why Giant Mecha Robots Are Totally Awesome 10:00 am February 7, 2008

    Sci-fi rant: Why giant mecha robots are stupid | Geekend | TechRepublic.com
    Jay Garmon has written a very well thought-out article on why giant mecha robots are stupid and will never work. I am afraid I must provide a counter to this article. Giant mecha robots are also totally awesome, and I think he’s wrong. [...]

    A CC-Licensed Story: “Babe, I’m Going to Leave You”
    I slept very badly last night, and had a migraine to end all migraines. I’m slowly recovering this morning. I recently woke up and, along with this lingering headache, I found I have an overwhelming desire to give something away.
    I’ve posted a story online under a [...]

    Filed Under: My Writing, Photography, Top Post, My Writing/Writing Process

    K. Tempest Bradford has interviewed me for Fantasy magazine about my Dr. Roundbottom project. The interview is now live here.
    K. Tempest Bradford: Did the initial inspiration for Dr. Roundbottom start with the photography or with the story?
    Jeremiah Tolbert: The work started specifically in photography. I had an opportunity after a week of rain [...]

  • Whale Fall 10:29 pm October 11, 2007
    Filed Under: My Writing, Science, Top Post

    When a whale dies, an entire ecosystem blossoms in its corpse. Species of clams, worms, and other invertebrates can be found on the bones of a dead whale that cannot be found anywhere else. The “seeds” of these ecosystems seem to lay dormant in the benthos of the deep oceans, waiting for that [...]
