So, based on a suggestion Toni made in comments, I made a video of the sunrise photographs set to William Fitzsimmons’ “The Tide Pulls From The Moon”. I hope you like it.

Tumblr Crushes:

This list makes me pretty happy for a lot of reasons.

frageelay: This month, I’m launching a site dedicated to getting people excited about spending time in nature. I know, right? Those of you who have followed me here know I’m kind of a nerd for the outdoors, and I’ve been moving my work as a professional writer in that direction, too - an outgrowth of wanting to evolve beyond the parenting/family travel realms and into something both broader and more meaningful to me. This site, which will live at getoutdoorsy.com but be known simply as “Outdoorsy,” is a reflection of that and will serve as a starting point for conversations with potential editors and clients, in addition to building a community with readers while also being an entertaining read. Ahem. I’d appreciate it if you’d sign up for an email announcing the launch this month (click through to fill out a form), spread the word wherever you see fit, and consider reading what I have to say about our wild and woolly world and why we should be out there enjoying it whenever possible. I’m going to be soliciting reader stories and reaching out to people who don’t identify as nature nuts, too. {Like that logo? Pretty sweet, huh? My friend and colleague Jason/Gorillasushi designed it! He’s kind of awesome like that, and I highly recommend him for any design work you might need.} Reblogs/retweets/homing pigeons/smoke signals are all much appreciated. Thanks!

frageelay: Super-Sexy Chicago(ish) Update! Now with a New Logo Design! 1. Today we’re rolling out a new logo that’s not tied to any one tweetup. The old design is gone and the the upcoming tweetup’s “Lucky 7” logo’  logo will go on sale right after the April event! While we are in this for the dick jokes, not the cash, Jason put money, time and his considerable talent into building chshtweetup.com and designing the logos for our tweetups. We’d also like to offer gift bags and design some kickass name tags. While CHSH planners (like the lovely Jill, who made our name tags last time) are always willing to chip in some of their own funds to get this done, donations will help. Therefore, if you’re so inclined, please consider either popping a couple of bucks in the tip jar (chshtweetup main page, lower left sidebar) or buying a t-shirt or mug at the CHSH Zazzle store. We’re working with Mullen’s on a food/drink special for those who wear their tweetup gear to The Main Event, so start shopping! 2. Hotel group rate and reservation info are available at chshtweetup.com (you must be registered to access the goodness). It’s a good rate, and the block of rooms closes March 11th, so don’t wait forever to reserve your rooms. Check our forums for room- and ride-sharing options, too. 3. We have a babysitter who is interested in entertaining your spawn during the Saturday Main Event at Mullen’s Wrigleyville. If you are planning on bringing your family to Chicago or are local but need a sitter for that Saturday night, please let us know (register for an account to comment) so we can give her a potential head count and she can develop a fair quote. 4. PLEASE RSVP to events you know you’ll be attending, especially the Main Event Saturday night. This helps us with things like nametags, reservations for events, etc. If you don’t sign on, you might miss out on some cool stuff. Thanks to everyone for spreading the word and for making this event something to get excited about. PLS REBLOG THX Important people doing important things.
