Ann Leckie on Swearing

June 20, 2014 By Deirdre

Great article by Ann Leckie on swearing. If I ever got up on James Lipton’s stage and had to answer the Bernard Pivot questions, “What is your favorite word?” and “What is your favorite curse word?” would have the same answer. As some regular readers may have no doubt figured out, fuck is my favorite […]

Best Practices

May 24, 2013 By Deirdre

A letter I have to send far too often…. Dear people who add folks to email lists without confirmation. Someone thinks it’s hilarious to use my email address to sign me up for things I am far from interested in. This was not requested by me. You should, as a best practice, require confirmation for […]

Rais Bhuiyan and the Power of Forgiveness

July 20, 2011 By Deirdre

This is a remarkable story of forgiveness and a change of heart. It’s the kind of story that Susan Sarandon could direct, and it needs to be told and retold. “It is due to Rais’ message of forgiveness that I am more content now than I have ever been,” Stroman said in the interview with […]

Making Lemonade

July 14, 2011 By Deirdre

Like all photographers, I have more than a few blown shots. Every once in a while, there’s one that’s interesting enough to do something else with. Last Saturday, thirty of us went to San Francisco’s Sutro Baths for some evening shooting, then off to Hendrik point to see the Golden Gate Bridge from the other […]

Theme Change

June 24, 2011 By Deirdre

First, a side note. I feel compelled, given how many people mispronounce my name, to mention: “Sounds Like Weird” is a pronunciation hint for both Deirdre and Saoirse. While I loved the photo-blog theme of autofocus, it constrained me too much as not everything I wish to post would highlight a photo. Thus, I’ve changed […]

Morocco

June 24, 2011 By Deirdre

We weren’t there long enough, but what we saw was incredible. This is the royal palace. I wasn’t using a zoom lens — I was using a wide angle. I can’t recall ever having been so close to a head of state’s residence before. Fascinating country; I’d love to go back.

Tesla Girls

April 3, 2011 By Deirdre

Taken at the Tesla dealership in Menlo Park, CA. I love how they’re all in “visitor” spaces. Sure enough, next time I drove by, the girls were gone.

Rick at the Dutch Goose

March 4, 2011 By Deirdre

Near our house is a bar called The Dutch Goose. They serve dinner late, have deeply-carved tables and peanut shells on the floor. It’s awesome. I love their burgers.
