IOP in Flux
Posted on September 30th, 2007 by Chad Norman
I snapped some shots with the family cam out on IOP on Friday night. The whole area between 3rd Street and Breach Inlet is eroding, and there are crazy formations and wave action - I couldn’t resist. We were there at sunset, and an area the size of a football field had angled waves moving in both directions…wild stuff. Here is a shot of a cool pock-marked area up near the high tide line.

Thin, Neat, and Single

I just ran across this shot from Vancouver, BC.
The name of the building escapes me, but it’s near Blood Alley.

Blog Count
Posted on September 27th, 2007 by Chad Norman
I gave a division-wide presentation on blogging a couple weeks ago, and my coworkers kept a running tally of how many times I used the word “blog”. 114! Not bad for 35 minutes. I’m speaking to a group of librarians tomorrow on blogging, and it’s a full hour! I put the over/under at 210.

Two New Viral Marketing Sites
Posted on September 26th, 2007 by Chad Norman
I just finished two small viral marketing, spare time projects…
WhereIsClem.com is a user-generated site featuring stories about Clem the traveling gnome. This Clemson garden gnome really gets around, as photos have already been posted from Toronto and NYC. Rumor has it the site will officially launch at the October 6th home game against Virginia Tech. So if you get a shot of Clem, be sure to register and share with other Tiger fans.
ILoveMeebee.com was part of a massive disinformation campaign culminating with the release of an employee intranet. The site allows visitors to register and share stories about meebee. It had good traffic, but little participation.

Arachnid Stowaway
Posted on September 11th, 2007 by Chad Norman
This spider is amazing, despite its diminutive size. It lives in the side-view mirror of my car, and uses the reflected streetlight to catch its dinner each night. When I leave in the morning, it moves in and out of the mirror’s safe interior while cleaning and repairing the web. Twice now, it has fixed its web while going 70 mph on I-526, while I stare open-jawed from inside. What an odd place to thrive.

Here’s the high-res on Flickr, and a cropped detail.
A Really, Really, Really Still Dancer

Eeesh, I’ve been posting so much over at Go Green Charleston that this place is getting neglected. Here’s a nothing special shot of a dancer sitting in our art room. I just liked it’s weird, subtle color.
