About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house. I liked that they were also words: Rapt, meaning enthralled, riveted, captivated, and Rent, meaning torn asunder, violently wrenched. I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

Red stripe
This flag belonged to my grandparents. I like that it has 48 stars. Given its age, and the fact that I had it hanging on the porch for about ten years, it has lost a lot of color. I just … Continue reading
Memorable day, or A Wedding Gif
Today’s TDC is a challenge. How do I create a photo of five years ago on my wedding day? I have pictures, but I didn’t make them. So I made one move:

I’ve been looking for a way to get my flickr in my blog. I wanted some kind of slide show, so I Googled around and found the Ultimate Photo Widget. I tried to make a page just for flickr, and … Continue reading

I found a message in my spam folder: Absolutely pent written content, thanks for entropy. “Absolutely pent” intrigues me. It makes me think of something about to explode, or something just burst. “Thanks for entropy”? You’re welcome. Glad I could … Continue reading

fat cats
Fat cats make art better. I’d never thought of that, but I wish I had. My in-laws have a cat they call Fatty. She looks like swallowed a football helmet. The photos they sent don’t do her justice. Since her … Continue reading
