Brain-o

Posted on July 9, 2003 | Leave a comment

You ever have one of those moments when you read something out of the corner of your eye and it makes no sense whatsoever? It’s not just that you can’t see it clearly, I mean that your brain fills in the gaps left by your eyes. I don’t know if it’s an insight into the deep subconscious whatsit or whatever, but sometimes it can be jarring.

Or funny.

Thanks to the miracle of digital photography and my semi-L33T photoshop skillz, I hereby recreate for you the snack food package that I saw out of the corner of my eye…

So is this a Canada goose or a Canadian goose? I used to call it the one and it was wrong and then I switched to the other and now I can’t remember which one is correct. I blame the booze.

Or the heatstroke.

By which I mean a finch at the feeder, not a finch to feed to things. Normally I wouldn’t feel the need to clarify this sort of thing, but I know that pet stores have tanks of “feeder goldfish” and cages of “feeder mice” so better safe than sorry.

I’ve got a stack of other photos from this unexpectedly long weekend… I’ll be posting them and some of the stories that go with them as I have time.

You know, in all of the brouhaha about Origins and getting ready for the trip and the Smithee show and all that, I clean forgot to mention that we’ve passed another wedding preparation milestone. We’ve got a caterer for the reception!

Now, granted, we’ve just had the tasting and put down the reservation deposit, but so far I’m really impressed. We’re going with Katherine’s Catering, a fairly big local firm. They’re a bit more expensive than the runner up, but they take care of everything that we need.

Hello Hungary!

Posted on July 1, 2003 | Leave a comment

One of the fun things about the start of a new month is seeing what surprises lurk in the web server log analysis program. This morning, for example, was the first and only time that visitors to this server from Hungary outnumbered visitors from any other country.

What’s really fun is that second place went to Switzerland. The .net and .com addresses combined were a distant third. Of course, this just counts visitors that hit between midnight and 6am local time, so by tomorrow the server will be back to its old Americentric self.
