An Early Review of Google+

Last updated on: June 30, 2011 at 8:36 pm By Nick Nowalk

First things first . . . I DO NOT HAVE GOOGLE+ INVITES TO SEND . . . yet 😉 But in lieu of an invitation, I shall simply taunt you will the knowledge that I did get one from someone who knows that when it comes to beta testing social media platforms I have “sucker” tattooed on my forehead. I am so easy. So with a whopping 4 hours of Google+ experience under my belt, I think it is fair to say that after the... Read more

Advice and Guidance for a Photography Newbie?

Last updated on: May 7, 2012 at 8:26 am By Nick Nowalk

UPDATE 06.26.11: Here are some pics I took at SF Pride 2011 [Facebook Album]. Like many people, I have always wanted to dive a little deeper into photography. A very long time ago, I had a film Canon EOS and really loved the process of taking pics. Over time I went through various stages of digital picture taking eventually ending up, like so many, solely using my phone camera to capture life around me. It really is amazing how far technology has... Read more

Last updated on: June 6, 2011 at 8:01 am By Nick Nowalk

Every two years HRC brings people of faith together to lobby elected officials regarding legislation that will ensure civil and human rights for LGBTQ people. I was only able to attend one day of the jam-packed event, but it was clear that the folks who took the time and effort to be there were passionate,... Read more
