Laptop circa 2004, scanner circa 2001, will not work together to scan the photo cards I received circa 2010-11. Sigh. The scanner won't work with my Windows 7 machine, and the old XP laptop isn't particularly cooperative. #firstworldproblems
When buying ice cream with "goodies" in it "(chocolate chips, cookie dough, strawberries etc.) do you become upset when you open it and there are very few of those things?
Once again the Knockout Layer, which I would like to bring to the market so to see through the packages to be sure there are enough strawberries in there!
Here is a link to the tutorial to create the Knockout

#96/365 Photo Manipulations
We have less people living in the house, but more food in the fridge than ever before.
Time to stop shopping and start eating! A first-world problem.
...a week or two ago I facetiously tweeted that I'd updated my Wishlist "on the off chance someone wanted to buy me a butter dish!"
I did it mainly because I was sick of using a small plate for butter. The butter didn't really fit and the knife kept falling off when I rested it there while dealing with toast. It was a pain. #firstworldproblems
Well, today our shiny new butter dish and sugar/creamer set arrived! Wow! Thanks, Mom & Doug! Best Christmas presents ever!
(The butter dish was immediately washed and put to use, but I put the sugar/creamer set under the tree until Christmas. Or until I decide I can't wait any longer to use them. Whichever comes first. IT'S NOT MY FAULT THEY DIDN'T COME GIFT WRAPPED. OR THAT I DIDN'T READ MY EMAIL SO I MISSED THE ONE THAT SAID AN AMAZON BOX WOULD BE COMING THAT I SHOULDN'T OPEN UNTIL THE 25TH.)
There must be a button on the TV but who wants to get up and find it.

First World problem is a slang term used to refer to issues in First World nations that are complained about only because of the absence of more pressing concerns.
The term was added to the Oxford Dictionary Online in November 2012.
Past midnight on Saturday night and this joker is lying outside the subway exit. Obviously not homeless, he probably just had too much to drink and decided it was too all too much to walk the rest of the way home. (Filed under First-word Problems)
So I went and got my bike and as I rode past him I rang my bell a few times. He didn't even stir.
Cellphone towers like this one are now part of our modern landscape. They are considered an eyesore and are unwanted by some communities (NIMBY - Not In My Back Yard). However they seem to be part of a technology that is almost indispensable these days. Taken with a Canon S3IS and enhanced with the Graphic Converter gloom filter. Type L for a better view.
Our Daily Challenge - First World Problem - 9/26/11
All kidding aside, it's been a slightly frustrating day. I've had some work impacted effects, as well as some #FirstWorldProblem annoyances that sometimes just a distraction. It's kinda nice to not have to deal with those distractions at times like this, but it's not cool when it affects what I'm trying to get done for the day!
So I finally updated my iPhone. I hate it. I really do. I wish I could put it back to before I updated it. Honestly I want a new phone anyways, but I'm not thrilled at all with the new iOS7 -.- I realize I'm in the minority here, but I just don't like it. I knew I wouldn't so I don't know why I updated it in the first place, but now there's no going back and my phone just pisses me off. Sigh. Rant over. #firstworldproblems
Note: I am still getting used to the X100 but I love what it can do. About an hour after grabbing this frame I realized the shutter release button had fallen off. A mile walk back to the bench and 15 minutes on my hands and knees and booya! I found it :) #firstworldproblems
Remember when there was a white Coke can for a few weeks? People like to complain (such a firstworldproblem) and they changed it back to a red can. Nobody complained when Coke did a gold can a few years back (a la Cafeine free Diet Coke).
Ouzo still not willing to accept there's no snow and, get this, no TOY on our wak.

I went out this evening to shoot the October Moon through the telescope with an iPhone 5.
It was a mild form of disaster.
I back out a eyepiece thumbscrew out too far and drop it in the grass. After fumbling around in the dark with a flashlight for twenty minutes, I declared martial screw-it-ness and went on with the project.
As I pointed the telescope the Azimuth lock-down nut on the telescope broke off at the base. (sigh)
With my Sony NEX cameras, I'd always shoot in quadrants and then stitch the imgaes together as a composite in Photoshop. I did manage to shoot about 9 shots of the various quadrants before I put the telescope up.
Now, as I sit trying to stitch the images together the natural light fall-off totally 0wns photoshop's stacking algorithm.
On a brighter note, I thought the natural light falloff looks kinda cool, so I thought I'd share, anyway..
