New News: I'm planning to start a business in late 2010: "The Agile Editor" — A freelance editing service, specializing in copyediting and proofing for the social and earth sciences.
Photographs
Have a look at some more examples of my photographs. I have made the photos 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, go to my rotating pictures page. This may take longer to upload. And here's a look at my August Marshall Mesa hike.
Applegarth Books
Web Design
I built the Web site for Applegarth Books, www.applegarthbooks.com, my older brother's used books store in 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.
Tiberius: Looking good at 18 years old.
Blue Aroo!
Buddy, Tiberius, and Blue Aroo too!
Buddy (dog) and Tiberius (cat) have been my great companions for a good long time—Tiberius for 18 years(!) and Buddy for nine and a half. Tiberius' sister, Nyota, died a couple of years ago from complications of diabetes, and we still miss her.
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.)
