It was too hot to do much of anything this weekend, so I organised my life into excel spreadsheets (hello, my name is megan and I am incredibly anal), researched travel in the middle east and was bitten about fifteen times by the one mosquito while watching Revolutionary Road.
Might I just add - I have been using Picasa for Mac for a couple of weeks now, and it is super-freaking awesome. As my iPhoto library crept (ok, more rocketed) into the 1000s, it got slower and slower until I pretty much now have to go and get a cup of coffee while waiting for an image to load properly.
Picasa, on the other hand, is all zippy and speedy. I can actually scroll quickly through my library without smoke coming from my logic board. Woohoo!

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, after a walk from Cranmore Station I reached the Sheds, "Lady Nan", an Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST Works no. 1719 is undergoing a major restoration.

我的excel强迫症又来了, 我总是要很纠结地把什么事情都必须excel量化, 再研究数据, 做chart...否则我就很不舒服。其实真没必要。不过也借此学习了Google Docs &Spreadsheet的使用, 很开心。
I should probably explain this. I've been awkward; I've explained it somewhere other than this place.

Retrocomputing (a portmanteau of retro and computing) is the use of early computer hardware and software today. Retrocomputing is usually classed as a hobby and recreation rather than a practical application of technology; enthusiasts often collect rare and valuable hardware and software for sentimental reasons. However some do make use of it.[1] Retrocomputing often gets its start when a computer user realizes that expensive fantasy systems like IBM Mainframes, DEC Superminis, SGI workstations and Cray Supercomputers have become affordable on the used computer market, usually in a relatively short time after the computers' era of use.

Here's a speculative scene that blends whimsy, tension, and quiet defiance—where vision triumphs over practicality, and the owl-shaped dream takes flight:
Scene: The Planning Room at Birdland Inc. A long table. Blueprints scattered like feathers. A vintage coffee pot gurgles in the corner. Walt Mitty, sleeves rolled up, stands beside a large sketch of an owl’s face—its eyes wide, its beak pointing toward a banner labeled “Main Entrance.” Across from him sits Harold Quibble, VP of Operations, armed with a spreadsheet and a calculator the size of a lunch tray.
HAROLD QUIBBLE--Walt, I’ve run the numbers. Again. The curvature of the monorail loop alone adds 17% to construction costs. Not to mention the symmetry issues with the beak plaza. It’s charming, yes, but it’s not… efficient.
WALT MITTY--Efficient? Harold, we’re not building a warehouse. We’re building wonder. Children won’t remember how symmetrical the loading zones were. They’ll remember standing in the pupil of an owl and feeling like the world was watching over them.
HAROLD QUIBBLE--But the zoning board—
WALT MITTY (interrupting gently)--Will approve it. Because we’ll show them that this isn’t just a park. It’s a story. The owl is wisdom. Curiosity. Nighttime dreams. Every path leads to discovery. Every feather is a ride, a show, a moment of grace.
HAROLD QUIBBLE--You’re romanticizing. Again.
WALT MITTY--I’m remembering. The way my daughter looked up at the stars and asked if birds dream. I want this place to answer that question. Not with facts—but with experience.
HAROLD QUIBBLE (softening, but still skeptical)--And the investors?
WALT MITTY--They’ll come. Because they’ll see what you’re trying not to: that magic has a shape. And in Birdland, it looks like an owl’s face.
A long pause. Harold stares at the sketch. The owl’s eyes seem to blink in the lamplight.
HAROLD QUIBBLE--You know this will be a logistical nightmare.
WALT MITTY--So was flight. So was laughter. So was every good idea that ever made a child gasp.
HAROLD QUIBBLE (sighs, then smiles faintly)--Then I suppose I’ll need a new spreadsheet.
WALT MITTY--Make it feather-shaped.
Postscript: Why did Walt Disney not design Disneyland to make it look Disneyesque; like the shape of Mickey Mouse, for example? The idea that Walt might’ve dreamed of a Mickey shaped park, only to be gently deflated by a spreadsheet-wielding realist? It’s like a scene from a speculative biopic: Walt sketching a mouse-shaped layout on a napkin, while a suit across the table mutters about zoning and sewage lines and parking lots. It feels almost mythic.
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

I should confess, I am not really a follower of that quote, because in real life I like to know where I am heading (had trips where there were meticulously detailed spreadsheets of what to eat for breakfast, where to wash stuff, how many coins the machine took, whether there's a microwave in hostel etc, etc.), and I would like to be on places on time (I get annoyed at people for delays, and if you don't hold your end of bargain and don't show up, you might as well hang yourself and spare my lecture ... ).
But plans get derailed, things go awry and you need to fallback on to something else. In my perfectionist trait, that's one thing I've learned with experience. If things are not going as per plan, just let it go and chill out ... No point in pulling your hair, that ain't gonna fix anything. Enjoy the adventure of the unknown :)
In this case it was destined to be such when I decided not to book campgrounds in Joshua. The only reservable ones were at the two ends of park, not where I wanted them. So I decided to try walk-in at the other sites which were situated towards the center of the park, conveniently close to most of the trails and points of interest. I mean how hard could it be ?
I couldn't have been any more wrong. By the time I drove and reached the park, I was welcomed by the familiar "all campgrounds full" sign board. Not something to be amused about, it was a long weekend, but ... So the other options were either to get a backcountry permit and backpack to no-where and camp in the desert or to drive and find a motel to crash for the night in the neighboring Twentynine palms. The day was cloudy and windy which meant staying out in the desert had no added benefits ... there won't be any stars to shoot. So I decided to head out to the town. May be I'll find something.
So I drove straight into the town (Finding a place to crash is always my first priority) and swung into the first small, cozy motel I saw. It was run by a nice lady of possibly mediterranean descent and it took me only the first few seconds of conversation to gather that she should be the owner as well. I am a people person (No, not the social kind, but the psychology kind, I can read the average person inside out without much effort ).
You can always tell by the way they talk if they own it or work there. The passion in the words cannot be faked. I asked her the same and she confirmed my doubts.
I had also noticed a couple of murals and stuff on my way in and broke into a casual conversation with her of what is around while she was filling in my details. And lo behold, I was handed down a wealth of information about what murals are where, brief history and even a small map with most of the stuff marked in order.
Alas, I had ran into an artsy-minded town in the middle of the desert.
Lao was right, too bad I'm still not his follower.
I managed to explore quite a few of the murals in between my trips to the park. While some of them were just that, - paintings on walls, Some were more complex form of art. As a person who likes abstractions, this was like opening another dimension in what I knew so far. Complex forms I hadn't conceived before. I had run onto an ilusion art by accident.
This one, is a part from John Pugh's "Valentine's day".
Here's a riddle for you. Which part of this shot is a real painting on the wall and which of these are three dimensional structures ?
Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them.

We need to teach the spreadsheet how to get the slopes between data points that I have highlighted in black here. Essentially, we need to put the slope formula into the spreadsheet. The third version I have listed will be the most helpful.
Newest tweak of my log to track my C41 chemistry. I've added notation for Camera and Film. As I use various cameras and film from my inventory, I'll add to the notation legend

A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.
There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, 7822 "Foxcote Manor" is about to power the Steam Excursion I have a ticket for.
7822 is a Collett designed GWR "Manor Class" 4-6-0 loco.

I always liked how my birth month lines up perfectly with the line number of my birthday when I make these spreadsheets.
As does my brother's. And Christmas.

Another test video from my test program. (The test program is to see how I can capture frames from 3D scenes in realtime. I figured out a method to capture each frame after it is rendered by reading between the lines of the documentation.) This is a set of colorful blocks growing and shrinking, kind of like a psychotic spreadsheet.

The plan, which came pretty close to being executed perfectly.
I did this in Excel, with the spreadsheet cells sized to equal one inch in scale. Yes, it is scary.
Basically, when we started to think about redoing the bathroom we were torn between the subway-tile retro look and the modern look of tiny blue glass tiles. I struggled to think of how they could come together (and a very-high-end D.C. design house basically told me they couldn't come together, and that we should think of neutral colors for resale value!). Finally, I saw a photo in a magazine that showed subway tiles as wainscoting and 1-inch-by-1-inch tiles above that. I wish I had saved the picture -- the idea was much more in the earth-tone vein, but it made things click for me.
I'm very proud of this design, though I admit that it's a shameless mishmash of periods. The subway tile and the mosaic floor and the Art Deco sconces and maybe the schoolhouse pendant are sorta 1920s. The kneewall of glass block is sorta '50s-cum-'80s. The blue glass is late '90s. The towel bars are contemporary, and the vanity is that Restoration Hardware retro "apothecary" look, which may or may not have existed in any decade previous to the 1990s. The sink is a simple drop-in, and the faucets will be retro in their own way, with cross-style handles. Polished chrome is the metal choice throughout.
The shower hardware is British and traditional, with a rain head that is traditional in its own way while also being rather current.
