We’re getting a ton of slides in… Most people have moved away from film in favor of LCD projectors, but every so often there’s a conference where they ask you to bring the old, low-tech alternative. There are advantages and drawbacks to each format of course.

They cut back the brush along one of the roads that I take in to work. In with all of the shattered twigs and ground up bits of wood was this strange fieldstone gate… It was sunny and bright, so I stopped to take a picture of it on Sunday afternoon. This is just the right side of it.

Two things about windows and only one of them is computer related. I’ll deal with that first. I was going to do an entry from work yesterday and, at a whim, I decided to update from one of our Windows PCs instead of the Mac I usually use. For some reason, instead of letting me create a new entry, it kept dumping me back to the login screen and asking for my password. Very vexing. I could probably have figured out what was wrong if I took the time to do so, but I shouldn’t have needed to take that time…
Anyway, it was too minor to merit that level of attention, so I didn’t bother.
After work, my Fiancee and I headed over to her friend’s place and we hung out chatting and BS’ing until after midnight. One of the things we got talking about was her friend’s job and the lack of cool window displays in their store.

I blather on about wine enough that I decided I might as well create a new category specifically about it…

At least for a while. Seriously, if I have to peel another bit of citrus I think I’ll be ill. I’ve got another batch of wine brewing, and this time it’s made from oranges. I peeled, juiced and otherwise mangled about 60 blood oranges and one of those tiny crates of clementines.

Tarot and Tourette. One is a method of divination. The other is a disorder.
Of course, you could combine the two and you’ve got someone who has sudden involuntary outbursts of prophecy.

Ok, if this works, you’ll be able to click on the picture of Freddy and a movie will load of him doing the ‘White Ape steals Peaches’ (I think) kung-fu form. It’s fairly small (about 1 megabyte) but it’s still about twenty times the file size of my photos so I didn’t want it to autoload when the page was viewed.
You’ll probably need the latest version of Quicktime to see it… You can get that here:
