Samantha and I camp frequently. Last September, we booked a few days to camp in Asseteague State Park. I bought this two person hammock, picturing a romantic way to relax by the beach. Unfortunately, the trees there could certainly not support my body weight plus another so we abandoned the tent set up.
So this weekend we camped in the Pine Barrens in NJ. Surrounded by tall oaks and pines, I finally had an opportunity to set this up. As you can see, you sink right to the bottom, weighing the thing down and these flaps fly up cocooning me in nylon. The fabric didn't spread when she joined, just raised higher. Complete fail, unless camping in Siberia where this body-heat-trapping beast would do wonders keeping you warm, but I would worry about suffocating.
Nice to see somebody hacked the front page of the WordPress documentation site - it really inspires confidence.

Yesterday I was so sick that I couldn't come to the office - fitst time since I can remeber. I'm usually very healthy. However, when I do catch a cold, it almost invariably attracts an opportunistic bacterial infection and I get very sick in only two or three days. I started Cipro yesterday morning and today I'm back to work.
I'm now so far behind (it's the 19th here now - the last post is dated the 16th), that I don't know if I'll catch up. I thank TELIKOM for that. If I can find a cheapy shyster in Madang today, I'm going to file a million Kina lawsuit against the clowns just for the sake of harrassment.
Here's this morning's sunrise, the first nice one for several weeks: Since I had notheing better to do that tn harrass TELIKOM yesterday, insisted that a data technician come to my house and do a data transmission test from there to the exchange. The results were exactly what I've been telling them for the last five years. The decades-old cable are totally incapable of transmitting data. This morning, when I got up, I didn't even have a dial tome.
Here's a typical shot of a TELIKOM junction box: What have we here? Hmm. . . Among other items that don't belong there are water, buai spet (the horrible bloody-looking stuff that is spat from the mouth when chewing betel nut), various bits and pieces of garbage, and someone's shoe. I have seen worse. The seem to make a convenient place to, ah, . . . how can I put this . . . take a dump. I wonder if this is a matter of bodily necessity or a comment about TELIKOM. I'v been tempted.
Need more TELIKOM goodness? How about this shot that I took only this morning outside my own office: Well, that certainly doesn't look quite so messy. However, close inspection shows some serious no-no items. First is the continual flooding. I've often seen this box full to the brim with water. Chek out the silly attemtps to plug the thing up with scraps of tape. The black bulb contains all of the junctions between the wires. It is supposed to be water-tight. Does it look water-tight to you?
I've had it with TELIKOM.
From now on, it's WAR! Startomg TODAY.
I've had this post box for over a year.
Every other month, these 2 magazines (sometimes one more) are folded tightly and placed in my mailbox, effectively destroying anything else that might try to reside there. Every single time I get them, I mark them as "not at this address" and place them back into the outgoing mail. 2 months ago, I finally requested that no other named mail be placed in the box, thus there is a large sticker at the end next to the last names approved saying, "NO OTHER NAMES."
Post Office: FAIL
Today I shoved them through the slot so hard that I hear them hit the floor on the other side. Maybe eventually they'll get the message.
This, by the way, was happening while my mail was being returned to senders. It was awesome.
of not a very good kawaii swap..
this swap was supposed to be a $15 kawaii swap as a christmas present for your partner based on their profile..
my profile states that though i don't mind generic kawaii, i don't like 'copies' of characters.. and that i only like hello kitty if it's sanrio branded..
these kt items are obviously not sanrio branded T_T

A blimp emblazoned with an XFL logo crashes near a waterfront restaurant.
Lots of questions today.
For example. How do you fail so many times even when you're so unusually late?
My first attempt to "bribe" L to take a picture with his little sister. I guess I shouldn't have given him the piece of chocolate beforehand. I thought having it in his hands would give him even more incentive. I also didn't realize that 10 clicks of the camera was enough to melt the chocolate in his fingers (well, that and the 90 degree day we were having!) LOL!
E's t-shirt was a little surprise for the hubby. I recently gave him a fancy shmancy electric guitar after passing all three levels of the CFA Exam, WOOHOO! E is already his #1 fan, he plays for her every night and she loves it!
I remember reading in the El Paso paper about a woman trekking up the Franklins with concrete and water in order to build a memorial to the B-36 crew that crashed and died near this spot. The Texas Parks people got after her because the land is part of the Franklin Mountain State Park system. At some point they were going to make her take it down but obviously that was a stupid demand.
At any rate, that woman was a better man than I am because she had to schlepp water and cement up some steep slopes with no path.
I don't remember the rest of the story or her name, I tried to google for it but found nothing. Too bad.
I have two IDs on FlickR

So this is my end piece for now...
Well here's my life as of right now... living on my parents couch. If you've followed my pictures you may have seen that I broke my ankle.
Well I tried to keep going but between the pain meds, having surgery, not having my camera available, forgetting, and just struggling to do normal things I didn't quite make it.
I learned a lot from what little I did and I hope to try again, I may not do just selfs I don't know. Hopefully i can make a run at a mid year restart.
I thought brazing on a nipple would reinforce the joint, but the fitting was too loose to contain the filler metal and because of excessive work time the remaining filler crystallized into a very brittle structure, eroding the base metal as well.
It would probably hold better if joined on a solid rod, but I would never know. I just replaced this whole contraption with a heavy-duty motorcycle bar on a dual BMX stem.

I was trying to take a selfie with the parakeets, but they kept moving and landing on my cameraphone, and Irene kept grabbing me because she was freaking out about all the birds!
Last night, I veered past "auto" on my camera and tried out the Tv setting and used a slow shutter.
I wanted lots of light streaks from the cars passing me by.
*sigh*
I'm goin back to the safety of Auto.
Amazingly, Scientific American picked up on the CSPI news released, and published it without any fact checking.
They even added an *extra* taxonomic error.

2G75 the 17:45 Pwllheli-Machynlleth passes Talsarnau, unusually formed of two class 158 units today - perhaps a failed unit was being taken back to Mach??
It's amazing to see copy go out with such a terrible mistake. Not only did they misspell the very 1st word, but they continue to refer to Abode's Flash player and what not, basically spelling it wrong every single time.
This screen shot is from www.themoneytimes.com/reviews/20091110/rim-teams-abode-im... but the copy error went out all over the world and was reprinted in several websites.

okay, I know this is not Hi Key. the grandparents asked for some high key shots to match some other family photos they have. So I independently lit the background to make it super white, epic win. and put the key light in the front of some kiddie chairs and asked the boys to sit. They of course did not. Firstly they moved the chairs to against the wall, and being blondes their hair immediately picked up the back light and proceeded to make their head disappear. so I turned off the back light, and they continued to move chairs around.
Check out the other epic fails below.
Epic High Key fail.
ODC Trend, high key with white background is very trendy (well it does look fab darling).
sorry about all the kiddie shots lately.
Taken in July 2008, CN07HVL was a newish member of the Veolia fleet, being a year old B7RLE with Plaxton Centro bodywork.
Seen here in Brecon, it would pass via Ensign after Veolia's closure to First Worcester as their 66698
