It's been storming fiercely here. The rain has been coming down in sheets and the wind is howling through the trees. We're just waiting for more branches to come crashing down into our yard.
The power has been out most of the evening and the lights are still flickering, so I'm just going to quickly upload this and unplug the computer.
Have a good night everyone!

Will EPA rules and regulations damage the economy enough to unplug America? Is this a subtle agenda or simply ignorance?
From our Toronto evening gathering on August 4th, we then travelled via Ontario Northlands train to South River, Ontario.
From South River, some walked and drove, and the rest of us biked the 22-km route into the forest to the beautiful Northern Edge Algonquin resort. What an absolutely beautiful venue for Unplug'd.
For those who may take the bike option in the future, just be sure to remember to keep a little energy stored in your reserve tank for the uphill finish at the end. But it is a beautiful ride, well worth it!
Note: The photos in this collage are from my Unplug'd11 (CC) Flickr set, and were selected for a blog post co-authored with Kim Crawford.
I installed my new Mac mini in a rather willy-nilly fashion. Now I have to unplug everything and do it right.

Anoche no subi la foto (pero si la tomé) ya que estaba compartiendo con mis amigos de #unplug nuestra anual cena navideña. En la misma tuvimos a muchas personas, amigos a los que jamás le había visto la cara y la presencia especial de 2 compañeros que hacen vida en nuestra comunidad venezonala siendo del exterior.
Djamel, quien es de francia pero habla como un venezolano y Simon (MRDANGER), quien proviene de Inglaterra y solo necesita perder su acento para parecer uno de nosotros.
Hoy Simon se vá a su pais nuevamente pero Djamel llega, lo que me da a entender que Venezuela, con todo y el caos que es, sigue siendo el hermoso pais, agradable y espectacular que siempre ha sido.

Last night didn't upload my picture (but I did took it) because I was sharing with my friends from #unplug our annual Christmas dinner. We had a lot of people, friends who I had never seen their faces and the special presence of 2 friends who make life in our venezuelan community being from other countries.
Djamel, who is from France but he talks like a Venezuelan guy and Simon (mrdanger), who is from England and only needs to lose his accent to talk like one of us.
Today Simon goes to his country again but Djamel comes, I can understand with this that Venezuela, with all the chaos that is, is still the beautiful country, friendly and awesome that has always been.

TGIF everyone. It's also "National Unplug Day." A day to get out and enjoy nature, family and friends without all the tech gadgets like TV, computers and phones. So, I'm headed out to enjoy a couple of my favorite wetlands with my camera, of course. The one gadget no one should leave behind. LOL I can't totally give up everything.

My youngest grandbaby was amazed when the lights came on! It was awesome. When it was time for nap and bedtime ( I had the pleasure of having him with me for almost a week) I would unplug the tree and he would lay down and sleep. I do so love him =)

I had no urge to tamper with this copier in any way until I saw the "DO NOT TURN THE COPIER OFF" sign. Now, I can barely resist the urge to unplug the sucker.
Labor over $200 at the dealers. Remove door panel, 6 or 7 screws, unplug old, plug in new and put panel back on.
My wife and I decided that the best way to unplug from our lives was to get on a boat and get as far away as we can! We got to enjoy to sights and sounds that our southern country of Mexico had to offer aboard the Carnival Fantasy Cruise liner. And, I got to try my hand in street photography using vintage lenses. Honestly one of the best vacations to date, and we are looking forward to going back!
Looks like someone forgot to unplug the engine heater lead from their
car, and it finally came unstuck!
1. On average, children in the US will spend more time in front of the TV (1,023 hours) than in school this year (900 hours).
2. 40% of Americans frequently or always watch television or movies during dinner.
3. The proportion of overweight children has doubled since 1978 due, in part, to sedentary activities such as watching television, surfing the internet and playing video games...
Youth spend over 10 ½ hours a day engaged with media. From television, internet, radio, Ipods, video games, cell phones, Music Videos, and Movies, youth have much more media to contend with now more than any other time in our history. During the Clarity Creative Institute’s Digitally Impaired Conference, the concern was brought up to our panel of experts in 21st Century Youth Culture that today’s generation of youth were losing touch with real contact and communication. Clarity Creative Institute then announced the Digital Day-Off happening on 10/10/10 to address this concern. The Digital Day-Off will be a day for families, children, and individuals to shut off the digital media and communicate off line. They will, in other words, “Unplug to Connect!”
Before you panic, remember that there was a time where people shared, offline. Neighbors talked and got to know one another, families ate dinner together and friends played outside. Digital Day-Off will give families and friends a chance to converse and connect to communicate. During the Digital Day-Off, families will have many options to communicate by taking a break from electronic digital media and become engaged offline. Within the next ten days, Clarity Creative institute will give tips, ideas and suggestions for activities to encourage families and the community to communicate on the Digital Day-Off. Join us as we take one day that can be the difference in strengthening relationships. And remember, on 10/10/10, "Unplug to Connect!"

my very first exhibition at the PINK in klagenfurt. this location will be a new womans fashion store starting in july. the owner made a 44hours sale on his older stuff and asked me to present some of my pics during this time. giving me the chance to exhibit my work. 44moments of tine at the PINK. now this is what happened at the 13th march 2008.
thanx to unplug for some of the pictures.
It feels quite strange to be able to post any photos, but it sure feels good : ) After being without a computer for four days, I collected my old and new machines and, to my horror, discovered that there was not a single one of my thousands of photos on my new computer! The word "deleted" flashed through my mind and it wasn't till later yesterday that I was finally able to check my old computer to see if my photos were still on it. Relief flooded through me and I could physically feel my stress level plunge, lol. It took one and a half days of crawling under my computer table to plug and unplug the ever-growing tangle of cords to reach the point where I could actually use my old computer. What a nightmare! To say that I am not impressed with the service I got from the store this week is an understatement. Six years ago, the same people had done such a great job of transferring all the data from an old to a new computer, which is why I went back to them. However, now that the weekend is over and the store will be open again, I have to phone them and ask why they didn't transfer all my images. Tomorrow, I have minor surgery, so all this was supposed to have been done by now, so that I could spend my recovery time editing photos, learning Windows 7, etc.. I knew I would not be able to take or collect the heavy, awkward to carry hard drives or be bending and stretching under my desk for a while, so I am really annoyed, to say the least. For now, though, I am SO relieved that I was finally able to get the new monitor hooked up to the old computer, so that it works. Of course, someone who knows everything about computers would have solved all this many hours sooner : )
This is one of the photos I took a week ago, on 17 February 2014, in Fish Creek Park, in Calgary. We don't get Great Gray Owls within the city, so this beautiful bird has been such a rare treat. A few weeks ago, we were photographing another Great Gray Owl in Griffith Woods, again within city limits. Strange how this has happened - maybe there is just too much deep snow in the countryside and maybe a hard crust has developed, making it too difficult for the owls to find food? As you can tell, this owl is focused on hunting. They are so fascinating to watch - their concentration is amazing.

Unplug and Play: Pemberton and District Recreation Service hosts free Family Event, May 1Share
Apr 21, 2016

The Pemberton and District Community Centre will be hosting an Unplug and Play event on Sunday, May 1 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm as a kickoff event to Screen Free Week.
The event is geared towards creating awareness for families on the importance of balancing technology use with time with family, creative pursuits, recreation and nature. Children today are increasingly connecting to technology and disconnecting from themselves, their close relationships, and nature. Parents are encouraged to participate.
Esta guitarra lleva en su estuche dios sabe cuanto así que decidí sacarle algo de partido con unas fotos.
This guitar was in his case gods knows how much time, so I decided to use it to make some shoots.
On the left SB-28 at 1/4 power through white umbrella, on the right SB-28 at 1/8 power shoot to a white board.
the opto block needed support for cable plugs and unplugs. it had only the wires to hold it to the board.
hot-melt glue (again) to the rescue.
One of the ways we processed the individual pieces we brought into a larger group collective was to represent our topics on wood chips, and then we worked to build a map. At this point in the process, most of the pieces are in place, but we have yet to really start into the connections. Not only was this a great thinking task, but it also let folks go all artistic, too! Each participant is also represented in the map by a hand-painted stone.

4 C-16s , a whole shit ton of wattage ......now shut 'em down , unplug 'em , and let me ride , there's a storm comin.....
saturday : only sunny day in AGES ! husband & i decided to unplug from all things christmas & chores, and to go hike all afternoon on the coast instead. and it was a good choice.
Dear diary
Sometimes I unplug. This usually happens the second I walk through the door when I come home from work. It's like takin the brain and putting it in the freezer until the morning. Unfortunately this makes my fiancée "not so happy". I do understand that, it's not nice to live with a person without a brain as it makes me forget almost everything i'm supposed to do. F.x. wash the car, clean up after I make some photographic experiments, do the dishes, cook etc. etc.
Theres one thing though I never forget. How much I love her.
Adieu.
