I don't really have any scrapbooks. And I can't really say why -- it's not that I don't like physical things. I suppose it's just that physical photos tend to get worn or lost with time. Especially if I'm in command of them. However, I am much better about keeping things nice in the digital domain. So, all of my scrapbooks are on the web. Now that I have a digital camera, I should get some sort of software to automate the process of taking raw images, and converting them into an web-viewing experience. But, I don't think that I am going to do that. Like the scrapbooks of yesterday, I want my web-ified ones to be hand-crafted labors of love. So, I'm going to continue to build each one by hand, and each one will have a slightly different look -- because experimentation and change are the only constants in this life. My Family Do I really need to say anything here? This section is composed of pictures of my family. Mom: Dad: in his element, with Scout in the living room, and with Scout again in the Computer Room. And of course, no discussion of the old man would be complete without him fiending over ham. Beth: with Sara and Scout, unwrapping presents. Sara: looking serious, and homer-esque. Gran: Grandma Murphy, outside of her pad. Scout Scout has so many pictures, that he gets his own category. What a spoiled pooch. A Photogallery, of assorted pictures. Scout at the Groomers: A short story, written by Sara. Looking like the faithful dog that he is, and defending the house from loathsome invaders. The Case Western Years Ahhh, pictures of my time spent at Case Western. Oh, the rapture that this brings back... NOT! Spring 1997 Fall 1997 New Mexico Graduation Spring Break 2000 Commencement 2000 Hello Chief Illiniwek! I've been a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for nearly two years now, and the pictures are just starting to roll in. Why use the controversial Chief in order to title this section? Because calling it "The UIUC Years" would have been plum redundant. Spring Break 2001 Hunter Island -- I'm a Survivor! The Illinois Balloon Classic Crystal Lake BBQ Miscellaneous Just some random photos, that I happen to have handy in some sort of digital format. My ex-girlfriend Melissa, and I, in happier times. Justin, Luke, Chris, and Akua -- smiling. Mike and Chris expressing their affection for Chee Wai, while Nicholas, myself, and Fredrik try not to look. Bork! Chris "Hawaii" Ishida, kneeling in front of the "Hula Mobile", the most bitchn'est ride eva! :) The best e-mail attachment that I've ever received (thanks Sara).
