All about what we do at Mind Sprocket, and that seems to be quite a bit.

What I learned in college: A recent graduate’s reflection

by Jacqueline on March 11, 2009

College encapsulates time. An advantage for those truly seeking to extend knowledge, a negative to those who use it to simply extend their adolescence.
That college doesn’t automatically transform someone into an adult.
Your major is probably the least important decision you make while in college.
The most important decisions you make are the daily choices. Each decision […]

We continue trying

by Jacqueline on March 9, 2009

Photography allows us to believe we can own someone’s beauty. We spend all this time, adjusting the lens, walking around in circles for the best lighting, just for the perfect capture, like we’re out poaching elephants on a safari. Of course we both know that we can’t hold someone’s beauty in our hands the way […]

Not all scenic views are of rolling valleys and ambient streams.

Want to write?

by Jacqueline on January 16, 2009

“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one […]

Easily Amused?

by Lindsey Charlton on January 14, 2009

My guinea pig is very verbal, and he made funny little cooing sounds when he heard the noises coming from my computer when I went to this site.
Today’s lesson: It’s okay to be silly.

The end of advertisements on Mind Sprocket (hooray!)

by Edward Atkinson on December 30, 2008

If you look around the Mind Sprocket website, you will be most pleased to find that there are no advertisements! We’ve nixed them for good. We all have a strong dislike for ads and are happy to remove them from the website. In many ways, ads just don’t really fit with Mind Sprocket or what […]

Giving of thanks.

by Jacqueline on November 26, 2008

Tomorrow? Thanksgiving here in America.
Food. Family. Fun.
What are your plans? Or even non-plans?
Don’t get me wrong, not having plans are just as acceptable.
You’ve probably planned your dinner menus with turkeys, hams, potoatoes, pomegranates, squashes, pumpkins, cranberries, broccoli already, so I won’t bore you with lists of recipes that would probably now be useless to you.
Whatever […]

A little something for your Sunday afternoon

by Jacqueline on November 16, 2008

Like most artists, writers struggle. They struggle to accept their gift for what it is; artists, even the greatest ones who transcend time, have wrestled with the giving up control in their crafts. I find such insights into past and present writer’s self-reflections incredibly revealing. Their sometimes inability to rationally accept the craft shows us […]

Well aware

by Jacqueline on October 19, 2008

You’ve heard the statistics.
You wear pink in October. You race for the cure.
But have you seen the art cancer has inspired? In Virginian Linda Weatherly’s art exhibit “Exposure,” she “reflects how [her] body and psyche felt as well as the emotional struggle of coming to terms with feeling less-than-whole as a single-breasted woman,” according to […]
