Total Page count 1/1/12 through Noon on 2/15/12
7143 pages.

This doesn’t take into online content (i.e. HBR articles, digital books, etc.) So far my goal of reading more this year seems to be going well. Most of the fun reading has been in the fantasy/SF realm, although waiting in the wings I have a few photography books and a binch of leadership and management books. Also on tap soon is a Somerville Library card.

New photos

I just updated the front of Liebhold.net to have some photos seen below.

Additionally, I have added a couple of albums to http://portfolio.liebhold.net that are worth checking out:

And now on to the pics:

Books and Photos

Two updates:

1. I took some pictures on a Maine Ski weekend. Check out the Gallery:

2. I want to keep track of the books I have read this year. Here is the list as of today:

Card, Orson Scott. The Lost Gate (464pp.)
Sullivan, Michael J. Theft of Swords. (704pp.)
Sullivan, Michael J. Rise of Empire. (816pp.)
Salvatore, R. A. The Highwayman. (432pp.)
Elliot, Kate. Cold Magic. (544pp.)
Stephenson, Neal. REAMDE. (1056pp.)

I feel a bit like I did back in Mr. Greenlund’s sixth grade class — keeping track of the books I have read. All of these are dead-tree versions, I don’t have an e-reader yet. Not having ever tried one, I do really enjoy the feel, smell and experience of a new book. Reading HBR articles printed out at work, fiction online, or video pocasts just aren’t the same thing.

My Portfolio (And Night Photography + A Great Party)

TallMatt — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:21:47 +0000

I have finally put together my Portfolio site — a much smaller set of images and a place where you can functionally buy some prints. If you are interested, be sure to check out:

Additionally, I have taken some pictures lately and have posted the galeries to my personal photography site. Here is a sampling.

Guatemala Trip – Part 1

TallMatt — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 20:33:34 +0000

We went to Guatemala earlier this month — you can see a larger set of images HERE.

Arrival in Guatemala City

We traveled straight to Antigua, where we stayed at the lovely Casa Christina for a couple of days while we explored the town and hiked a volcano.

Streets of Antigua (usually not this empty or wide)

Volcan Pacaya

Posada de los Encuentros, Panajachel

Eventually, we traveled to Lake Atitlan, where we spent an evening in Panajachel.
