One of the definitions of entropy is: Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society. What I have seen and shot so far has been the definition that nature tends to favor disorder. This photo makes me think of fear. Would you walk down that alley and find out what is behind the gate? What makes me think of society’s breakdown is how there are places and spaces that are frightening to venture into because of sections of society breaking down. I see evidence of this every single night on TV and I am not just talking about episodes of CSI. The stuff on there is nothing compared to what is really happening out in the world on the nightly news.

Sorry, bit of a rant there. I am not a fan of cities, even small ones like Providence or Stamford, CT. I went to both today and cities always key me up. That alley was just next to the hotel, it is part of the hotel and perfectly safe (not to worry mom and dad). It just looked like it would make a cool photo and it did in my opinion.

Today I drove to Stamford for a demo tomorrow. But before that Allison and I took Eva to the Cardiologist for a check up on her heart murmur. The heard murmur is doing fine. She is a happy and healthy little girl. And she is sitting up all the time now.

After the appointment we had lunch at Fire & Ice in the Providence Place Mall. It was delicious. I love selecting everything for my meal and having it stir fried. Excellent stuff.

After that I dropped in to the Sharper Image and their downfall was my gain because I picked up a pair of Motorola Wireless Bluetooth headphones and adapter for my iPod. This thing rocks! I am listening to my iPod right now and no wires to speak of, so cool. I can’t wait to take them to the gym.

For Halloween I picked up a small pumpkin for Eva. We also got a bigger one for the front steps from our friend Mike. We left it out for a very long time, well past freshness. As it started to decompose I put it on the snow and off the steps. The snow is gone and now the pumpkin is nothing more than a stem and some seeds. I hope that some make it into the ground and the circle is complete.

Today I guest posted at the IZEA blog. That post is all about using your digital cameras to their full potential. Then I finally got a post up for FuelMyBlog and I started BenSpark’s Photo Challenge on that blog. I’m hoping that the FuelMyBlog community gets interested in submitting images for the weekly themed challenge.

On The Wired Kayaker my friend Lisa wrote a guest post. She was on a bloggers only interview with captains from The Deadliest catch. I was asked if I wanted to do it but wasn’t that interested because I’ve never watched the show. Lisa was a big fan so I asked if she could do the interview and if she wanted to guest post on The Wired Kayaker. It all worked out except for a technical glitch in the interview, but she did write a great guest post.
