Indianapolis Blogger: Gottahavacuppamocha

About Michael Hawkes

Michael Hawkes lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he works as a computer technician at a university. Outside of work he watches movies, composes haiku, takes photos, and searches for the ultimate cafe mocha.

About Review Haiku

After getting a Netflix subscription a few years ago, Michael (a/k/a lafnlab) decided to review them on his blog gottahavacuppamocha.com. Knowing there were already lots of blogs that do movie reviews, he decided that reviewing them in the form of haiku would be an interesting gimmick. While it remains to be seen if it’s a successful gimmick, haiku have the advantage of being short, and therefore easy to write.

In March of 2010, he self-published the first 500 Review Haiku in a book.

Current projects

• Review Haiku, Volume 1 (2nd edition)
• Review Haiku, Volume 2

Indianapolis Blogger: Stephen Coley

I’m Stephen Coley: a 20-something, no-name, Indianapolis-based programmer. I work full-time at the most righteous company in the world, DK New Media as a full-time developer, where I spend most of my time setting up servers, writing plugins, coding themes, cross-browser debugging, authoring blog posts, and knocking back can after delicious can of Yoo-Hoo.

DK New Media has given me great opportunities:

• authored some really cool plugins
• co-developed an enterprise store location web app powered by Google Maps
• built out the framework for the coolest site dedicated to sports and social media
• sculpted WordPress into a video distribution hub by utilizing Amazon’s S3 storage utility for Candidio

When I’m not defending my title of “Space Jockey” of the interwebz…

• I tend to my awesome little family.
• I go biking.
• I make a little music.
• I watch my favorite bands perform live.
• I collect all kinds of guns.

Indianapolis Blogger: Andy Chen Photography

Andy Chen is an award winning fine art photographer and gallery director at the StutzArtSpace.

His images explore themes of enchantment within the wildness of the natural world. Andy was born in 1974 in Taiwan and grew up in the Midwestern United States. His exposure to photography began in high school, where he spent countless, clueless hours in the darkroom as part of the yearbook staff. A few years later, he finally figured out that the knobs on the camera had a purpose and quickly found a new passion (for photography, not turning knobs).

Indianapolis Blogger: Mili Walker Fine Art and Children Photography

Hello! My name is Mili Tepavac-Walker, born Milica Tepavac.  I am a European, award-winning photographer, specializing in children's and portrait photography and I'm the owner of Mili Walker Photography (www.miliwalker.com).

In January 2011, I came to the United States on a simple tourist visit, and have ultimately stayed in the U.S. pretty much by accident! I met my husband, fall in love, we got married and now we are expecting a baby - little Jude Nicola Walker!

We moved from Chicago to Carmel, IN in January 2012 and I'm so happy to be part of Indy community.

My blog is mostly about photography, but sometimes I feel free to put my thoughts pretty much about everything that inspire me or irritate at that moment (including movies, music, health insurance, taxes etc)."
