If anyone wants to know why I have a grey buddy icon ... its a (peaceful) protests against Getty giving away lots of our images to Google without even bothering to ask the contributors if its OK. Google then stripped all the metadata off the images and started giving them away. I had hoped the contributors meant more to Getty than that! :(
The Flickr Lounge-Accessories
Whilst my daughter was visiting we stopped at the Garden Hilton Hotel and went inside and got a coffee. This area of the counter was accessorized with all these post-it-notes written by the patrons of the shop. Mine is in there also.
...don't leave your camera lying around. These are NOT my boobs. I carry my camera with me everywhere I go. Today I took it out of my purse and laid it on my desk. A coworker snapped this pic at some point without me knowing it. I think I know who this is and tomorrow i'll ask to see her boobs just to make sure. OK not really but other than me, there is only one other person at work who would do this...
It's been a while since i've posted anything here. I need to get my act together. I've been so busy with work and life and there was an unexpected death last week that just put us in a funk for a few days...not that any death is ever expected.
I had this idea in my head for a while now. I'm not sure if I really like it... Those are some actual things I think sometimes^.^

My Home Office Collage
Today's FGR 365 is "!flickr Notes".
I have a lot of Notes so I numbered them and added additional below. This is my home office. Two years ago my girlfriend of 10 years and I split up. We are still best friends and I will refer to her as “my ex” for the notes. We sold the house we had together and I needed a smaller place with a lot less yard so I bought a three story, 3 bedroom, 4 bath townhouse with an itty bitty yard for my dog Loki. My ex bought Loki (a female Cairn Terrier) when we were together and I have joint custody so I see her at least 3 days a week which works out great for all three of us.
I use one bedroom as an office and another as an Art Room where I paint and sculpt, and draw on whiteboards. Two weeks ago I spent $50 US on new dry erase markers, I’m not kidding. I just bought a book case for the Art Room so many of my art books are moving downstairs right now.
If for some reason you want to know more about me you can check my LinkedIn profile;
And I’ll just add a shameless plug for Kiva.org, which I think is frickin’ genius;
One Fugger made a feeble attempt to insult me this week so he should give my LinkedIn profile a once over in the hopes of actually coming up with some decent ammo. There’s lots of ammo there too. I don’t kiss-and-tell so please don’t ask me who it was. I hope whoopaggie doesn’t check my Education because I was giving her a little Aggie Hell for a while and she could really turn it back on me.
If a Note has a * in it that means there is more below, otherwise the Note and below say the same.
01. Calendars from Guero’s Taco Bar, Austin TX – When I put the first one in the far left corner up I just chose a random distance from the wall. I wanted to put up six total and decided to use the same spacing and then just leave an empty space that I filled with something else later. The empty space sucked, so I decided to put up more calendars, keeping the same spacing. The last space left over is exactly the same distance as all the other spaces! Yay for not planning ahead!
02. This calendar is a different width than the rest, but the tack is spaced the same.
03. My friend Jini gave me 2 Guero’s calendars, but the Virgin Mary one is not in my office.

99. Telluride Film Festival Student Program certificate
100. Gave a presentation at the American Chemical Society Meeting in Dallas 1989 – My presentation was called “Anomalous Fading of Thermoluminescence in Different Temperature Forms of Oligoclase”. If I have trouble falling asleep I can read it or one of the 14 other scientific papers I’ve published. This was the meeting where one University declared they had created cold fusion and they were selling video tapes for $350 US. It was a total scam and I had already started realizing that some “scientists” weren’t actually interested in Truth at all.
101. B.S. in Mathematics
102. Antarctic meteorite I worked on at NASA – JSC – I did nuclear chemistry at NASA in 1990. The people at NASA are party animals, I’m not kidding. The smartest and most fun of any group I’ve ever met. Film people are fun too, and extremely naughty. IT people mostly suck.
OK, that’s my tour. I hope you had a good time, there’s free beer & wine tasting and T-Shirts in the lobby.

Roze
-Aerosmith
Roze, het is mijn nieuwe obsessie
Ja, roze, het is niet eens een vraag
Roze op de lippen van je geliefde, oorzaak
Roze is de liefde die je ontdekt
Roze als bing op je kers
Roze, want je bent zo erg
Roze, het is de kleur van passie
A-oorzaak vandaag gaat het gewoon met de mode
Roze, het was liefde op het eerste gezicht
Ik schreeuw roze als ik het licht uitdoe, en
Pink maakt me high als een vlieger
En ik denk dat alles in orde komt
Wat we vanavond ook doen
Jij zou mijn flamingo kunnen zijn
Omdat roze het nieuwe soort jargon is
Roze als een decoparaplu
Het is een knik - maar je vertelt het haar nooit
Roze, het was liefde op het eerste gezicht
Ik schreeuw roze als ik het licht uitdoe, en
Pink maakt me high als een vlieger
En ik denk dat alles in orde komt
Wat we ook doen ...
—————————————————-
Pink
Pink it's my new obsession
Yeah, pink it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, cause
Pink is the love you discovah
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
A-cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight
I yell pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is goin to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It's kink - but you don't ever tell her
Pink it was love at first sight
I yell pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is goin to be all right
No matter what we do…

“Mars Global Surveyor's Mars Orbiter Camera obtained its last SPO-2 images of Mars on September 12, 1998. SPO-2, or "Science Phasing Orbit-2," took place between early June and mid-September 1998. Shown above are MOC wide angle (red and blue band) images of the martian north polar region obtained around 3:15 a.m. PDT on September 12, 1998. This color composite was made using red and blue wide angle MOC images 55001 and 55002--these were the last pictures taken of the planet until the camera resumes its work in late-March 1999.
The north polar layered deposits, a terrain believed composed of ice and dust deposited over millions of years, dominates this view. The swirled pattern in the images above are channels eroded into this deposit. The pattern is accentuated by the illumination and seasonal frost differences that arise on sun-facing slopes during the summer. The permanent portion of the north polar cap covers most of the region with a layer of ice of unknown thickness.
At the time this picture was obtained, the martian northern hemisphere was in the midst of the early Spring season. The margin of the seasonal carbon dioxide frost cap was at about 67° N, so the ground throughout this image is covered by frost. The frost appears pink rather than white; this may result from textural changes in the frost as it sublimes or because the frost is contaminated by a small amount of reddish martian dust. Please note that these pictures have not been "calibrated" and so the colors are not necessarily accurately portrayed.
In addition to the north polar cap, the pictures also show some clouds (bluish-white wisps). Some of the clouds on the right side of the images are long, linear features that cast similar long, dark shadows on the ground beneath them.
When the MOC resumes imaging of Mars in March 1999, summer will have arrived in the north polar regions and the area surrounding the permanent polar cap will appear much darker than it does here. The dark features surrounding the cap are sand dunes, and these are expected to darken over the next several months as seasonal ice sublimes and is removed from the surface.
Malin Space Science Systems and the California Institute of Technology built the MOC using spare hardware from the Mars Observer mission. MSSS operates the camera from its facilities in San Diego, CA. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars Surveyor Operations Project operates the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft with its industrial partner, Lockheed Martin Astronautics, from facilities in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO.”

“MGS MOC view of the north polar region of Mars obtained on September 12, 1998. The swirled pattern at the top center of the picture is an area of polar layered deposits covered in part by the permanent north polar ice cap. This color composite does not represent the "true" color of Mars. To make the composite, MOC images 55001 (red-band) and 55002 (blue-band) were combined with a green-band synthesized by averaging the red and blue bands. The images have been reprojected to simulate the view that a person would have if the person was located about 1200 kilometers (740 miles) above the planet at 65°N, 275° W.”

3.875” x 8.5”. I’m not familiar with time period/range of the particular Kodak photographic paper used, so I’m assuming it’s contemporary to 1998.
