I went out to find urban exploration locations around Wisconsin Dells today. I forgot the battery for my main camera. My backup camera battery died after five minutes. Sigh…

Beside You In Time
I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it’s you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through
– Nine Inch Nails, Beside You in Time
Photo taken outside an abandoned home in Koshkonong, Wisconsin. Clocks are a favorite subject to shoot among Urban Explorers. They dictate much of our day as an authoritative supervisor would. Even though the clock face is now frozen the world around it nature does not submit to the clock’s authority. Nature ignores the the clock entirely and undermines its authority. Entropy is nature’s subversion to mankind’s hubris.
Apple Discs
Software restore discs from the bygone G4 PowerPC Macintosh era. This software was for iBooks, iMacs, and Power Macintosh units. I was tasked with liquidating these discs. It is something I will regret to my very end of days.
Now that the entire Apple product line is Intel-based, PowerPC support has been summarily dropped from OS X. The PowerPC is dead. Long live PowerPC.
Specimen 3698
Testing the Flickr “Post to Blog” feature with some customization. Anyone know how to assign categories in Flickr without having to edit them manually in WordPress after publishing?
Nevermind Specimen 3698, he really likes attention. Photo taken at the National Museum of Health and Medicine at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC.

The Day Kennedy Was Shot
Taken today in an abandoned house in Koshkonong, Wisconsin.
A generation before I was born America survived a national tragedy. President Kennedy was killed by an American, one of our own, trained by the very government he later sought to throw into chaos. A single date, November 22, 1963, shattered the American Dream. Civil unrest, chaos, and war with no meaning followed.
My generation has not learned history’s lesson. CIA trained Osama bin Laden remains uncaptured for his 9/11 crimes. We are still mired in not one, but two wars with uncertain futures that have sent our country into a downward spiral. One of those wars was prefaced entirely on a series of compounding lies. Comedian George Carlin once said that you would have to be asleep to believe in the American Dream. The tragedy is that he was probably right.
