Full Circle

I bought a Holga camera to experiment with... Even with all the digital equipment I now have, I cannot resist the dreamy look of the Holga prints. Speaking of prints, getting 120 film processed is more of a chore than I expected. I found a local lab that will do the work. Wal*Mart also prints the film for about a third of the cost, but the film is sent out. I shot a quick test roll, and have dropped it off to see how good Wal*Mart does. I'm half convinced that the film won't get processed. I'll know for sure on March 19.

19 Frames of Nostalgia

I made this video at an exhibit at the children's museum we took the kids to... This was the first animation I did in about 20 years. Filmed off a monitor with my cellphone, so the quality is even worse than you would expect.

Come On

I like riding my bike as much as the next guy, but -

Well, actually I don't like riding my bike as much as the next guy since this dude is hauling a kid stroller behind his bike on a very busy, and very shoulderless, road.

ER

I have a killer, hopefully no pun intended, pain in my side. I am incredibly miserable and very, very tired. As you might guess, I am very bored as well.

I Never Thought It Would Happen to Me

My Xbox has acquired the dreaded Red Ring of Death.

The Machine That Made Me the Man I am Today

Sure, like you have anything better to be doing than reading about people reminiscing about the Commodore 64 on CNN.com.

Taken on my way into the Hong Kong office. Humidity caused the lens to fog up and take this impressionistic picture.

See the Sky About to Rain

Taken in the middle of proverbial nowhere when I was driving back from southern Georgia. I drove there to buy a pinball machine and the trip ended up taking about twice as long as I had suspected.

Well, I Laughed

The Internet is flooded with Chuck Norris related material. Don't tell me you haven't noticed that! Most of it is supposed to be funny, but is not. I finally have come across a Chuck Norris story that made me laugh. It is the following:

Chuck Norris was the fourth wise man, who gave baby Jesus the gift of beard, which he carried with him until he died. The other three wise men were enraged by the preference that Jesus showed to Chuck's gift, and arranged to have him written out of the bible. All three died soon after of mysterious roundhouse-kick related injuries.

Places Named After Numbers

I was driving to work when I noticed this sequence of numbers.

By the Pool

Lisa, add a bench and towel hooks for out by the pool.

Update: A couple of people have emailed asking what this post means. It doesn't mean anything. I meant to text it to Lisa from Lowe's as idea for a bench to put out by the pool. I inadvertently sent it to the account to automatically post the cellphone picture to my blog as well. Mystery solved.
