Rolleiflex SL26 camera
Fakmatic 35mm to 126 Adapter / Eastman Hi-Con 2369
The task was to see if I could get the Fakmatic adapter to work in the Rollei SL26. Mission accomplised by clipping a sprocket to make a larger rectangular sprocket so that the camera would sense it and reset the shutter. It worked...but I grossly fogged the film by thinking it was orthochromatic and loading it with a red safety light! Back to the drawing board!
Heartland credit card processor is untrustworthy. They had a break in and let my credit card number get stolen.
Not my picture. Taken from Fail Blog again.
This reminds me. Once I went to my bank to see if I could buy some Japanese Yen.
The lady told me they didn't use Yen no more. They switched to Euro.
I said wha when???
She said oh a while back!
I said, but but... but (doubting myself) Japan is not part of the EU... is it?
She said, Oh they are!... aren't they?
Then she went to the back office to ask.
She came back and apologized. "Oh sorry I didn't know Japan is on the other side of the world teehee!"
Two Swedish guys think they are cool changing middle names into Rocco Siffredi...say no more, say no more...
Someone attempted too redo this truck into a cool machine. It looks like they shortened the distance between the wheels. Then they just gave up and dumped the remains in the woods..

After speaking to the Signalman at Kirkby Stephen regarding Freight workings over the S&C on this day I visited the line, he informed me that a southbound coal train had failed at Waitby.
Here at Waitby LoadHaul liveried 60025 sits with its failed train.

A parking meter with serious attitude felt the need to tell me what he thought of me. This after I gave it a quarter too, how rude is that?
Picked up a sack of Legos for cheap today at a Yard Sale, and in-between doing major cleaning of my room and closet, I couldn't resist playing with them. :P
I call this Fail Haus, because it's made of Fail.
Wolverine Fail Toy, Wolverine Inflatable Squeaky Hammer by Rhode Island Novelty RINCO. My he inflation valve stem in right in Wolverine's Crotch. It certainly is an epic fail toy! From Mike Mozart's Collection of Unusual and Fail Toys of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube!

My failed project. I think I would be very difficult to become a good designer.
I tried my best. but why?
I have built a fair number of high speed flashes trying to get things smaller so that I have more variety in my placement.
Some have worked and some have failed. I'm thinking right now that I have built about six versions.
And two have failed due to capacitors. The first failed in about ten tries. This one failed more gradually. I'd guess that it would be OK for about five hundred flashes before you would start to notice the dimming.
After 3000 flashes, its a sad puppy. From the original 0.04uF/<1ohm it is now a 0.016uF/305ohm capacitor.
Anyhow, here is a little video tour of fail.
Cheers.
Can you see the problem with this packaging design? Irony at its best... need one to buy one. (otherwise the design of this package is pretty, just not functionality at its best)
and if all of our days are done
why do I fall
I just fall in love with you
I set this as my desktop background and it looks pretty effing spectacular.
This is SOOC. I was going to tweak the colours, but it looks good this way. & I could crop out the window frame at the bottom, but it seemed unnecessary.
I'm pretty chuffed with the focusing too. It was just out my bedroom window one November afternoon. Two months ago today, in fact.
I only have one lecture on a Wednesday, and there was a part of me hoping it would be cancelled due to snow, just so I could have a six day weekend. Basically, a week off. It wasn't, so I had to traipse onto campus. Winter Graduation is taking place, and it felt weird to be watching as, PRESUMING I DON'T FAIL, that'll be us this summer.
Anyway, I'm curled up warm in bed, listening to JCB's The Darling Buds (WHY WON'T THEY RELEASE AN ALBUM?!?!), and contemplating if I should go wash my plates (I really should), read some more of a uni book, listen to a podcasted lecture (I have to do that before tomorrow), write some poetry (I really hate writing poetry and I'm only doing it because it's a set assignment), or stay in bed and read something of my own choosing. I decided to upload to flickr to delay any decision making.
I'm seeing my brother this week. He called me for the first time in months. We talk loads when we're both home, but otherwise he kind of drops off the face of the planet to anyone in the family apart from my Dad, and even he has to track him down sometimes.
It was snowing this morning. By the time I was dressed and ready to go it had stopped, which is probably a good thing as I'd straightened my hair, but it's quite pretty walking out in the snow when you know you have someplace warm to go. (That sentence gives the wrong impression of me. I wouldn't have been upset about how I looked if the snow had frizzed my hair. The only reason I straightened my hair was because I slept on it while it was still a bit damp and it had poofed up like a lion's mane and I felt pressured by general society to at least tame it a little. The easiet way to do that was straightening it. I was actually being lazy when I straightened it and the snow frizzing my hair would have made me roll my eyes rather than be upset about how I looked.)
I think it's a sign that I'm starting to feel the stress of third year that I'm back on flickr. As a teen I used flickr as a way of dealing with my unhappiness and stress from work. Admittedly, I didn't post on flickr a lot last year because it made me think of Ben (still does) and I have no idea why I didn't post more in first year because I absolutely hated where I was living and the people I was living with, but obviously it's work stress that drives me here these days, rather than unhappiness.
I have stuff to do. I should go do it. I just wanted to post this photo because it's pretty gorgeous to me.

This soldier was well equipped, but failed still:
1) A nice boat parked in a good spot for shooting Red Bull flyers - 15000 eur
2) Sigma 500mm + decent tripod and head - 1200 eur
3) Shooting with 500mm tele using internal flash - Priceless...
Just a photo to show my readers it took a few tries before I got the hang of this 8). Story and recipe on my blog.
