This picture was taken while driving in San Jose. I have no idea how I achieved this effect. I do feel the whole world looks like this some times. More often it happens when I am on the streets of San Jose.
I have been looking at the Mirror Project web site for a long time. My friend Chris is the first person who told me about this site. I have been taking pictures for this, but I have never sent them in before. I finally sent two pictures into the Mirror Project. One Picture is clearly me, the other is a little less clear.
Since I got my new toy, I have been taking a lot of pictures. Many, many, many of the pictures are not worth looking at. I love taking pictures, but I am really bad at it. I usually cannot stand still long enough to take a picture. With my spycam, I at least have an excuse why the pictures are so bad.
Richard Bullwinkle, the man pictured above, told he me did not think this was a camera. He thinks I am just stealing people's souls. I am not sure what I would do with a soul like his.
I played this game for two hours last night. It was easier once I switched to a better mouse. Why do I need a Playstation two when simple games are so entertaining?
The idea for the post was stolen from Meg at Not.So.Soft. Maybe I should blame here for addicting me to this game.
Now that I have this camera, I want to start putting a new picture up everyday. I have already taken 100 pictures with this camera. Only about a dozen look any good.
This is my friend Eric. This picture fits much of my mental picture of Eric.
I had to go to the dentist today. He had to take out one of my wisdom teeth. It is the second time he had done this. Both times my the tooth had broken. I picked to have the teeth extracted instead of getting a crown. Later I will be happy about this. Tonight I know I cannot sleep and my face is just killing me. I have to take it for now.
Most of my close friends rent. I wonder what that says about me and my friends. Some of my friends own houses or condos, but a lot of us seem to be destine to rent for a long time. It has a lot do with what we value and the mistakes we keep on making. Since we are renters, we should know something about renters rights. (There used to be a link here
I love the ideas of small cameras. Digital technology is making small cameras rally cheap and good. I think it is cool because you can take people with out really intruding on them. Laura Holder is using an Aiptek camera around New York City.
I was so inspired by this site, I bought one of these cameras for myself. Here is a picture I took today outside Pac-Bell Park.
I was reading an article that mentioned both TiVo and Blogger. The article is about how companies can inspire communities around their products. It is like the places I work and play have the same point business strategies. I hate when my worlds collide in that way.
Sad Salvation: Rich Thomas, a self-described "nearing 30 gadget head and phone monkey," says about his weblog: "Day by day by day by day....this is my attempt to make sense of the world".
I'd say that his title, Sad Salvation, pretty much sums up the feel of the 'blog. It's somber and kind of tedious.
This is just my opinion; and personally, I tend to like weblogs that are more about commentary on other web sites and the news than about day-to-day activities. Rich's weblog is definitely more of a journal: He talks about his job at TiVO, his travels, how much he drank that day.
You might find the fact that he works at TiVo interesting. I did; but he can't write about it too much, for fear that one of his bosses or coworkers would read it. A quote from Rich from October 5, 2001: "I know that I cannot write everything that I want to write about work on this Web Log. I want people who I work with to be able to read it. I want to mention the name of the company that I work for, TiVo. I also want to mention my name. The problem is if I have these two things in this web log, who knows who will be able to find it. Some one might be able to search for it. I could cause some bad times for myself."
As for his weblog layout/design, I'm pretty sure it's a Blogger template. It's blue, uncompelling. It's easy to navigate though, and that's more important than the look of the design.
Main content: Journal, travelouge, personal musings on life, etc.
Personally, his content didn't resonate with me, cause me to think or want to come back to read more. I probably won't visit again, but that's just me. I urge you all to go check it out. Who knows, you might like it!
I think this person hits my weblog right on. There are a lot of things here I can improve on. I have to think about making Sad Salvation better or not spend less time on it. I want this to be about my life, but I think I can make it a better read.
I felt like I was writing really poorly. Everything I was doing just seemed like crap. I decided that I did not want to write crap anymore. I had to pull away for a little while.
The problem is I have a hard time getting back to it. I feel no drive to write. I have things to say, but I blank when ever I sit at my computer. I end up playing a game or surfing the web. It is a really bad idea.
Here are the things you need to know.
I am back from my trip to New Mexico
I am no longer planning on driving cross country
I am going back to Philadelphia for my birthday
I have been hitting up everyone I know to set me up on a date
