My GPS Camera Phone

At long last, I have finally gone and started another blog. As much as I love this blog, I have to say that the topic confines me to 1) photography and 2) camera phones, which isn’t a bad thing, but it prevents me from being my normal smarmy self.

BRAINdisTRUST was born from the “un.cropped” Tumblr blog I was erratically posting to. The feed for that blog was pulled into this blog on its own page, but it has since been removed. Now I can stay focused on the niche of camera phone photography here and get my all-other-topics fix over there. A rather nice arrangement.

What you will find on BRAINdisTRUST:

• social commentary
• creative stuff like design, fonts, Photoshop brushes, etc…
• photography of the non-camera phone type
• parenting experiences
• videos that amuse me
• tech stuff, be it software, hardware or a web service
• quotes from the web
• spam poetry
• all things stupid (think “Darwin Awards”)
• whatever else strikes me as blog-worthy

What’s with the name? So glad you asked! I’m a word geek and adding “dis” to the term “brain trust” seemed amusing. See I told you – word geek. It’s like a double-entendre.*

Here’s the good part. If you go visit my new blog and subscribe to the RSS feed, I will think very highly of you and tell all of my friends how cool you are. Seriously. I might even throw in a link to my inaugural visitors because everyone loves them some link love. I know I do.

Eventually, I’ll add an Entrecard widget and maybe some other stuff, but for now it’s a pretty basic blog. More things to come in the future, guaranteed. And don’t worry, this blog will keep on truckin’ like always.

Now go visit the BRAINdisTRUST!

*Note: It’s not really, I just wanted to use “double entendre” in a post. Remember? Word geek?

In response to SF Girl’s tag, I’ve compiled a brief yet enlightening list of seven things that are weird and/or interesting about me. Here we go:

1. I love Brussels Sprouts.
2. I if I’m adjusting the volume of the radio, I always set it to an even number.
3. I’ve ridden a bicycle from Gainesville, Florida to St. Augustine Beach, one-way (about 87 miles).
4. I can’t handle open wounds, major cuts, lots of blood and needles. Nope, not a fan.
5. Cheesy wordplay and bad puns are awesome.
6. I didn’t have my own cell phone until 2007.
7. I once purchased a dried out blowfish in Hurghada, Egypt. It was blown up and made into a lamp. No idea where it went off to.

In the interest of self-preservation, I left out stuff relating to liquid nitrogen bombs, endless nights of debauchery and foreign travel faux pas. No way is that stuff getting out.
