I’m starting to think that Amazon.com knows me a little to well. My “recommendations” page today contained the following:
Warcraft 3 for the PC
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly on DVD
On the Road by Jack Kerouac (book)
Northern Exposure by John Digweed (CD)
and possibly the best recommendation ever…
the childrens book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
Now, that’s creepy. I knew I’m a kid at heart… I just didn’t think Amazon was going to affirm my suspicions. Hehehe.
Well, I was checking out SurfSation as I tend to and happened apon and interesting Canadian photographer by the name of Scott Pommier. His work is really pretty good. He mainly does “skate photo” which is a whole huge sub-genre of photography in and of itself. Anyway, I got to reading his info a little bit and he apparently uses (or used) nothing but used equipment. So, that got me thinking. I started checking the used section of B&H and to my surprise, some of this equipment is going for huge discounts. There’s a perticular Leica M6 that I’m drooling over and it’s going for only $1500 (about half it’s normal cost). There’s also a Nikon F4E (nearly my dream camera: the F5) that comes with a new rangefinder and a motor drive for only $799. I nearly wet my pants at that one. Then of course… there’s the motherload. A fully loaded Mamiya RZ-67 with lens and 120 roll film back for $2k. Anyone want to load me two grand? Anyone? Didn’t think so. *sniffle*
That’s ok, I’ll just save up for it.
A Zen Buddhist walks up to a hot dog vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.”
The hot dog vendor gives the Zen Buddhist the hot dog, and then the Zen Buddhist gives the hot dog vendor a five dollar bill. The hot dog vendor pockets the five and goes about his business.
After a few seconds, the Zen Buddhist speaks up: “Hey, what about my change?”
The hot dog vendor cooly replies, “Change comes from within.”
Chris, you da bomb in code yo!
A big huge thanks to Chris for figuring out that I misplaced some CGI code. Now that it’s back the comments should be working again. Not that anyone really cares since “readers” seem to have disappeared as of late. No matter, there are the few of you who read on a regular basis and for you, we’ll press on. Note that I’m using “we” in the “royal we” sense and not the “voices in Matt’s head” sense. Of course, it is nearly midnight, so anything could be going on at this point. Anyway, bed time. Night.
Fixed the link font size. Yippe! Now comments are all that’s left.
whether you’re talking about me personally or this site in general the answer at this point is “sorta.” Today was my last day at Granite Bank which means that by the end of the week I’ll be some place else. Or, since the operations manager thought I did such a good job, I might be right back at the bank. But, that’s for them to sort out in the next few days. I’m supposed to call the temp agency tomorrow and see what’s up and what they have for me next.
Back to the website, I’m still working on it. I think I know what the problem is with the weird font sizes and so I’ll probably fix that tonight… if of course the thunderstorm lets up. As for the comments not working… I have no idea. I’ll poke at that in a little bit. I’d also like to add a “posted by” line at the end. Incase you didn’t read carefully, that last post was actually from Chris, who’s been helping me out with this whole thing. I appreciate that very much (just in case I hadn’t mentioned that enough).
Seeing as how my job today involved nothing more than folding things, I had a lot of time to think. I thought mostly about the downfall of modern society, commercialism and technology that will turn around and bite us in the ass. In my head I prepared a whole long, involved metaphor about DMR (digital managment rights) and how everything is going to hell. I won’t bore anyone with it but if you’d like to hear Matt rant for about an hour, ask me about it sometime.
Anyways, now I’m home, I’m about to take a shower and relax a bit. I don’t have work in the morning and my girl is supposed to call me tonight. Despite a little stomach pain (which I can only assume to be from lunch) I’m doing pretty well all things considered. Well, I can hear the thunder and the lights just flickered so it’s time to get off the PC. Later.
