I was pacing around the apartment, in between meeting with folks yesterday, when I stopped in my tracks and saw what was going on in the hallway. This streak of light was actually much brighter, but by the time I ran and got my camera ready… it had faded a bit. It was still a …
Walked to the bank today and took the camera with. Nothing all that special here, just Franklin Street (which runs right by the Mart, where I work). I’m really looking forward to the day when I get to see these bridges rise up for a boat that passes underneath. So far, I’ve seen a few …
Another no alarm morning. 6:30 rolls around and I just sit right up in bed like someone stuck me in the ass with a fork. It’s not like I try to get up early. This was one of those jolted-awake-can’t-get-back-to-sleep mornings. So… I stumble into the living room, turn on the television, and pass a …
Just for the record. Stu’s sitting next to me, working on his laptop. He’s editing some last images that he’s planning on uploading to his site. He brought over a fifth of Jim Beam earlier, and with the absence of dinner… my head feels like it’s pushing up softly against a big piece of immoveable …
Worked with Kent for a few hours. Started some laundry up and now it’s time to clean the living room some more. I think Stu’s heading over here sometime around 7 PM to go over his site. If we can get things squared away, I’ll feel better about things – he’s taking off to participate …
Another twelvestone link here. Apparently, this guy build a page that randomly combines common prefixes (used by digital cameras when creating pictures), random numbers, and a .jpg extension. The result? A Google Image Search that looks for random digital camera photos. Typically, these are higher res and unedited. Interesting stuff, and it’s distracted me more …
A few days ago, Justin and I decided we were going to babysit Emmett. It was something we talked about doing many months ago, but things have a way of happening – work builds, plans change, time shifts. But this past Wednesday, Justin and I hung around the apartment so that Ben and Laura could …
*taps veins* Hello? Any caffeine in there? Sheesh. Been working on a large coffee from the local store, and it’s not doing a damn thing. I think I need to relax or something here pretty soon. Since yesterday, the TV’s been out of commission as I’ve been trying to rearrange the living room. I was …
Ah man. I’ve been working with Kent for a good number of hours now. The work that needs to be done for this animation isn’t tough – just tedious and time consuming. We’ve been working since 3 PM, and it’s closing in on 11:30. I’ve got a few more hours yet to go. Damn. My …
After my shopping spree, I came home with a big bag full of fun stuff. Once things settle down, I can’t wait to try to make a little project – however remedial. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for AGES, so I’m excited! Behold the bounty: And ok. While I was at the …
American Science and Surplus that is! Going to go back there now to find some toys. My friend Dave came by again and helped me put up some of those pegboards I got, a long while back. Rube Goldberg. Here I come!
Fell asleep last night and left the computer running. I actually had the blog open and intended to type but I zonked out on the couch. I got invited out to Stu’s, where he was having folks over. Ben and Justin were both teasing me, when I told them I planned on just staying home …
by Li-Young Lee I’ve pulled the last of the year’s young onions. The garden is bare now. The ground is cold, brown and old. What is left of the day flames in the maples at the corner of my eye. I turn, a cardinal vanishes. By the cellar door, I wash the onions, then drink …
Dammit. I still haven’t caught up. I’ve got some fun photos from today, but I guess I’m officially a day behind. Hopefully, I can catch up a bit tomorrow. ‘night! *waves*
I still haven’t gotten a phone call from them. They’d better hurry, if I’m going to record for that March 30th reading. Yeah, yeah. I know. But leave me with my dreams…
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
