Photographs
I have placed several examples of my photographs online. These are necessarily small and low-res to fit on the Web. If you would like a higher-resolution picture or a print, please contact me at .
For the bigger picture, check out my rotating pictures page, or view a record of my August 2008 Marshall Mesa hike.
Applegarth Books
Web Design
I created and maintain the Web site for Applegarth Books, www.applegarthbooks.com, an up-and-coming used books store in Millington, Tennessee. Have a look, and stop by if you're in the neighborhood!
My Writing
When I was teaching at Front Range Community College, I developed a few essays as examples for my students.
I'm developing a new page, a sort of blournal (blog/journal) called keanotes — Let's see what comes of that!
I admire Maya Angelou's writing and taught my students about what she wrote:
"There is no greater agony than bearing
an untold story inside you." — Maya Angelou
The Feb. 2008 GSA Today is one of GSA's most-read issues.
Work
I've been managing editor of GSA Today, the Geological Society of America's member news and science magazine, for five years now. Along with that, I am managing editor of our e-news magazine, GSA Connection, as well as backup to our Webmaster and lead social media semi-expert. We are on facebook and Twitter), and I'm learning GoogleWave and GoogleEarth, and more. It's a great time of growing and stretching my skills.
Buddy and me.

Blue Aroo!
Home News
Buddy, a 9-yr-old golden retriever, has been with me since he was a puppy. He used to work as a therapy dog at Boulder Community Hospital here in Boulder, but now is enjoying retirement and lots of fun activities all over Boulder.
June 2009: Bear and I have a new addition to the family. A week after Bear's chow-chow mix died in early June (he was 16), we adopted Blue Aroo, an 11-yr-old husky mix from the MaxFund shelter in Denver. He's a great dog, and a great addition to our elderly family! (But don't tell any of them they're elderly — Blue thinks he's two.)
