Got bored. Figured since I made a lolcat poster, I might as well make a demotivator, too.

Also I fail at directions.

There was supposed to be something on top of this. That something continues to fail; horribly.

Oh, do you want to actually READ THE GRAPH in this here image? Well, just buy a handy "Pro Account"! Gee, thanks, let me get right on that. Actually, maybe I'll go look at a web site that doesn't actively try to PREVENT me from looking at it.

 

Attention web site people: it's 2009. Creative Commons happened already. Wikipedia happened already. If you're going to be all Expert's Exchange about this thing, you're going to end up relegated to that ass end of the internet where no one clicks on your search results because you're just using your content as a big link-baiting advertisement.

 

And actually, it's not even YOUR content! You're just sharecropping your USERS content -- content which, since you just recently started this lock-up, they didn't think would be hidden when they uploaded it. Sure, I'm sure it's legal by the technicalities of the license agreement that no one reads. But it's not how your site used to work, and it breaks the spirit of the implicit contract you have with your users. And it breaks the community's spirit.

 

I don't get why people with good stuff on Instructables wouldn't just delete their articles and take them somewhere else that doesn't have a lame paywall. Seriously, people, it's your content. Why are you letting someone else try to monetize it... by HIDING it from everyone else?

 

Here's a not-new idea: Why don't you offer me a POSITIVE BENEFIT for buying an account (like the ability to comment, or rate up/down, or access to contests, or different ways to browse/search the content, or whatever) instead of TAKING AWAY the basic functionality from your site and then trying to force me to pay to get it back. Chances are I'm walking away instead of forking out cash if I can't simply click around and see stuff on your site without nag-dialogs spamming me.

 

Update: another, less ranty, take at theonda.org/articles/2009/06/19/dont-let-your-mission-bec...

Love is not what you see in the movies.

Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene

True love is sacrifice.

Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself

Love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love.

Love is when you lay down your life for another

Whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister

Its even laying down your life for your enemies,

That's unthinkable, but think about that

Love is true.

 

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast

It is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking

It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs

You see love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres

Love never fails. Love is everlasting

Its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time

Love is the only thing that will last when you die

Fail Road and US-20 near LaPorte, Indiana

i'm back, after a failed attempt going out as a girl, my worst makeup ever, poor quality pic and my big male face.... I am thinking about how can I do to look more feminine

Well that's a big fail. I started this project 1 year ago, and to my disappointment I found out my meager amount of 156 photos out of the total 365 that were to be taken. This really made me feel sad. I felt terrible. I started this project to bring the love and joy of Legos and photography together. My study life has kept me so busy because of my country's curriculum. It makes it so hard to come back after the day ends to take a picture and edit, with exams one after the other and continuous non stop homework. I'm sorry about that. So I'll be continuing this project until it finishes (asap) so we can end happily and start another great one. Thanks to you all for your continued support. You guys rock, and I still wouldn't be doing this if you weren't there to see my work. You came to see my work, and I shall deliver. No promise breaking this time. I promise. :-)

I was actually pretty happy with the crane, because I finally managed to get a good reach. It couldn't actually lift anything though.

 

Will be demolishing this in my coming weekend and start building something completely different.

What a bummer. Laptop destroy.

 

I was walking outside at night, hypnotized by design at www.notcot.org, and failed to negotiate some concrete steps. Both my Macbook and I fell hard.

On Sunday June 9th 2019, Waitrose closed the doors of its branch in Teignmouth for the last time after just 5 years of trading here. According to the area manager it was no longer sustainable.

Stacks of newspapers from Saturday, languish outside waited to be collected.

Yep - I've been busy - too busy for volunteer stuff. BUT - I did keep up my 365. Even on July 31, I took a foot shot with old sheets. Yes, my creativity hasn't been in the picture for a long time. Even though many of my shots were just a "hold up the camera backwards" type, I still tried to put in a bit of my story in the background. This "fail" shot was a reject for another day so I was trying (a little).

 

I'm not a quitter so this does upset me. I think I missed because I got behind in posting. If you do it each day...you won't forget.

In general I do not write reminders on my own flesh...and now I know why. It didn't work. I'd intended to pick up more paintbrushes on the way home (the nice spongy kind, for edging) but didn't glance down and notice this until I'd already pulled into the driveway. Too late. Game over.

One of my many failed attempts at a snow spiral.

I've been making snow spirals every winter since 2010. I make them during the day, with the intention of using them as a template for light painting at night.

One of the main problems I've had is that they're hard to photograph from the ground, so I've been searching for a good cliff, hill, or elevated area to shoot from, but the place I live is pretty flat. There's a lot of sand and gravel pits around here, but not many you can easily access, so I was happy to find this one, which seems abandoned.

Another snow spiral problem I've had is unwanted footprints, because the best spirals I've made have to start from the center, so there's always a line of footprints that cut through the spiral.

This time I tried starting from the outside and working my way in, but there was a pile of sand that through me off, and my spiral quickly turned oval instead of round.

There wasn't enough snow either (sometimes I've had too much) under the snow was a layer of frozen snow that had previously been rained on, and the parts of the timelapse where I move slower are because I was kicking at the ice, trying to make a visible path.

To make things worse, I was too tired to go back that night to do the light painting, and the next day it got covered in snow.

I later realized that this area won't work for lining up the spiral with the north star, because you lose the high vantage point, since the path on the right is where you would need to set up, and that area has been dug out.

Two sporting errors are hidden in this photo; can you find them?

A crow attempts to dislodge a hawk from a branch this morning. Crow, you will never defeat the hawk. The hawk leaves when she feels like leaving.

These binoculars were out of order.

El Gato's favorite pounce spot.

The Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny) was used in kinging ceremonies up on the Hill of Tara. I assume that it's very deliberate that it's shaped like a giant stone penis. One of the things that had to be done when a guy was crowned king was that he had his nipples sucked by subordinates / rivals as an act of submission. This is why some of the bog bodies they've found over the years had their nipples sliced - it wasn't a torture thing, it was so that they could symbolically never be king.

Today I got suddenly got Twitter's fail whale. It seems that world events impact social media more than I thought.

In 1989 Dodd was charged with tax evasion. The subsequent trial, with the prosecution case led by Brian Leveson QC, produced several revelations. The Diddy Men, who had appeared in his stage act, were often played by local children from stage schools, and were revealed never to have been paid. Dodd was also revealed to have very little money in his bank account, having £336,000 in cash stashed in suitcases in his attic. When asked by the judge, "What does a hundred thousand pounds in a suitcase feel like?", Dodd made his now famous reply, "The notes are very light, M'Lord."

 

Dodd was represented by George Carman, who in court famously quipped, "Some accountants are comedians, but comedians are never accountants". The trial lasted three weeks: Dodd was acquitted.
