When I stumbled upon the pictures of this guy’s apartment I thought to myself “This is my dream home” as in, it’s small and geeky and it has everything I could ever need. When I went shopping for stuff to put in my own apartment I used this picture almost as a template and I think I came pretty close… Sans-sofas and some other furniture I suppose - Here’s my new place.

Duluth!

This past weekend and into this week you may have seen a lot of Duluth this and Duluth that. Making a trip up to Duluth, Minnesota has always been exciting to me. I love the atmosphere (in the summer at least), the sloping hills, Lake Superior and the waterfront, the little shops and restaurants, the giant freighter ships and barges - Duluth is just an amazing city. If I had to come up with something positive about moving even further up North it would be the short drive to some of the most beautiful places in Minnesota like Lake Mille Lacs, Banning State Park, and Lake Superior.

This week I uploaded a couple video clips and a few photos which you can check out on my new Vimeo profile and Duluth photoset on Flickr. Enjoy.
