Essential Links

Most of what you will find on my website will be my own writing, photography, art, etc. Sometimes I quote others, obviously, and I always attempt to give proper credit, without making my bloggings look like a foot-noted college report.
The links below are to some websites that inspire, encourage, entertain, or enlighten me. They serve as motivation, from time to time.
No bull. I don't necessarily agree with or see eye-to-eye with all the various content below. Why should I have to?
Shane Blake - Shane is an online friend, which means someone I consider a friend without ever having actually met. He's a better photographer than I am, so there.
Michael Krahn - He writes some pretty good music, and some prose as well. He's a swell fellow to chat with, even if he IS Canadian. His
blog is well worth reading.
Dave Miller - Yes, he is my cousin. So, you can just assume that what I'm about to say is colored by the family ties, or you can check him out for yourself: Dave has put together a couple very solid, very enjoyable collections of music that I have grown to appreciate more and more.
Wes Fryer - Wes was a good friend in Lubbock. His wife and I taught together, and Cami and I had many fun evenings at the Fryer house. Wes blogs about education and technology matters, among other things.
Brian Smith - Brian has a lot of opinions. He isn't afraid to share them. His more-than-weekly recap of American Idol is engaging.
Ken Mueller - Ken (who hopefully won't read this, because it will give him a big[ger] head) has a keen sense for all things related to music, media, the internet, and pop culture. His blog is a lot of fun to read, and a wealth of information.
