Absolutely Andrew

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Photo of the Whatever

    Tara and I traveled up Millcreek canyon on a Sunday afternoon so she could have a change of scenery while she studied for her board exam.  Meanwhile, I entertained myself down at the stream.  I had trouble picking the best photo, though.  I was ready to say the first is the best, but Tara insisted…

  • Adventures with Light Painting

    A few months ago, thanks to the National Geographic Photo of the Day RSS feed, my mind was opened up to a whole new realm of photography: Light Painting.  Sure, I was always well aware of the concept—nightime city shots with streaked headlights or the incredible all-night exposure of the starry sky, but I had…

  • 1 Year Down!

    This past Sunday, Tara and I celebrated our very 1st anniversary.  I should use the term “celebrated” loosely, however, as the celebrations consisted of flying back from KC, eating thawed cake, and going to bed early thanks to a horrendous headache.  Sound romantic? Actually, it was pretty amazing.  Negatives aside, here’s a list of the…

  • New Post?

    So, as Tara reminded me, it’s been a while since absolutelyandrew.com has seen a new post.  She also stubbornly refused to install the Google Earth plugin in order to view my last post properly, and then proceeded to blame my html for her inability to view it, but that’s neither here nor there. I really…

  • Vacation Wish List: Cozumel

    Location: Cozumel, Mexico—just off the mainland of Cancun. Why Here: Thousands of tourists arrive daily on cruise ships, but tend to stick to only a few parts of the island. Itinerary: Stay at an all-inclusive resort off the beaten path, enjoy the white beaches and crystal clear water while sipping on margaritas and pina coladas. …

    60mm     F5.6     1/2 sec     ISO 400 There’s no better way to unwind after a challenging day at work than a relaxing evening stroll through the forest.

  • Imagine All the People

    I’m sitting at a coffee shop called “The Greenhouse Effect” with Tara.  It’s a Sunday evening, we’re outside, sipping iced teas, and enjoying the beautiful evening.  She’s studying for her board exam, and I’m scratching random, incomplete thoughts into a leather-bound notebook I bought a year or so ago thinking I’d move up from the…

  • Photo of the Whatever

    So I’ve been brainstorming ideas for fun things to post other than my typical, narrative posts, that I like, but are oh so time consuming.  I feel silly posting this “supplementary material” to facebook every time, so it will be a little treat for my rss feed subscribers and regular visitors. This first concept is…

  • Backpacking Capitol Reef

    Last weekend Tara and I got out on our first backpacking trip of the season.  We headed south down to Capitol Reef National Park for a one-nighter.  We chose to do Lower Spring Canyon, a 9 mile long dry canyon.  The plan going in was to hike like halfway, camp then get up the next…

  • Loving Advice…For Married Men! Vol. II

    It’s been some time since my first issue of Loving Advice…For Married Men, and for weeks now, I’ve been trying to hash out a second issue.  Problem is, the first one was so damn good (in my opinion, at least) that attempting to top it, or at least match it with a sequel seems incredibly…
