Some Photos
"The photographic image ... is a message without a code."
- Roland Barthes
“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”
- Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Using a camera appeases the anxiety which the work-driven feel about not working when they are on vacation and supposed to be having fun. They have something to do that is like a friendly imitation of work: they can take pictures."
- Susan Sontag

The cherry blossoms are officially here, so says my street. Come, all y’all bumbling tourists.
DC Meetup for WordPress
13th March 2012 by Cory Strischek
I’m skipping the meetup about plugins tonight. Too much of a good thing, right?
I’ve been working with multisite, buddy press, and a bunch of custom themes. Just trying not to over do it tonight. Better to type mindlessly into the night by myself, probably.
It’s getting to the point where there’s too much I can do with this.
The Black Keys Washington DC Verizon Center
10th March 2012 by Cory Strischek
Sometimes I’ll go months without an event. Sometimes I’ll play guitar for myself nightly for a week.
All I knew about the Black Keys until tonight was that they were from Akron, Ohio, and that I missed out on their formative years. They played The Union in 2002-ish when I was attending school at Tulane in New Orleans. Had I stayed in Athens, maybe I could have opened for them. Tonight, the Arctic Monkeys opened for them before thousands at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. The Arctic Monkeys were miserable but I skipped out on a $50, Q-level seat to steal a peek from directly behind the set. This was one of the absolute best performances I’ve ever heard, seen, etc.
I commend two men and their backup band for performing expert Ohio garage rock, accessible to throngs of wailing urbanites and Virginians. I don’t care how big they get — they’re wonderful.
