Catch up
While I’m uploading massive files, I think I’ll post some photos I took last week.
This lovely little praying mantis was outside my door reflecting on life when I came back from the fun filled Armchair Media 5th birthday party. He was kind enough to stay still long enough for me to test the macro feature on the new Canon.
Speaking of Armchair, their party was a blast, here is an interestingly dressed bartender. She called it her “Space Look”.

Uploading the photos finally
To the great delight of the massed family I have processed the photos from the family reunion and am currently uploading them. -
Pale Rider in the dark shadows
My new habit of carrying the small camera everywhere with me is a good one I think. We are also entering prime cycling weather. A certain amount of wind chill is an incredible feeling.

Open Mic Night once again
I did the open mic night at Limerick for the first time in quite a while last night. The songs I played were Blackjack County Chain, Red Clay Halo, Will You Miss Me, and
Waitin’ Around to Die. I played breaks on Blackjack County Chain and Will You Miss Me. It’s hard to tell how it all sounded with the PA the way it is. I’m bringing my pre-amp next time.The A-Sides are in the photo above.

Random photos from the camera phone
From Stone Mountain Park
The Scott Boulevard Ace Hardware. It’s a close second to their best billboard, which is “Grills, Grills, Grills!”

Midweek rapid fire
- Real life Pac Man – hysterical
- One must not question the existence of Global Warming – This is in line with a trend I’ve been noticing in the media and it’s associated hacks, which is the annoying “No serious [insert either scientist, economist, expert, industry insider, analyst] disputes the existence of [insert theory that one is pushing]” mantra.
- Proportionate responses – one of the more daft comments on the Israel -Hezbollah conflict was that Israel’s response was disproportionate. Intentionally proportionate responses went out with the Greeks, and it’s only by accident now when the response is proportionate. The whole notion of strategy is matching strength to weakness. That is most of Sun Tsu’s Art of war.

Andrew and I did some very good work yesterday, here are some stray shots from there. Our first tool should be ready for public beta soon.
