be careful what you say in your blog…

sometimes the 1st amendment isn’t enough:

are you on a “Sunshine Committee?”

you need to read this:

Does This Committee Make My Ass Look Big?

i think i like You Can’t Fire Me, I Quit the best.

what earned us a “free gift”

since i’ve received a few inquiries, i thought i’d shed some additional light on the subject.

incidentally, i highly recommend it… it is no coincidence that it is backordered at the moment!

to appeal to the utilitarians, it also serves a dual purpose as an abstract glass sculpture for your holiday centerpieces and mantel displays.

no one will know but you, as you smile with that twinkle in your eye, reveling in the accolades of your impeccable fine art tastes.

well i’ve got 60 or so photos up at flickr now. to get to my “photostream,” use the tab on the top of my site.

there is quite a bit of handy interaction between flickr and wordpress.

for example, i am actually typing this post into flickr.com after clicking on this gorgeous picture of my wife and selecting “blog this.” you have to input some authentication information to flickr to be able to do this, but i see it as being pretty handy. if i come across ANY photo by ANYONE that i think is bloggable, i just hit the menu and start typing in my post. no need to navigate back to my blog and then start a new post and then cut and paste a thumbnail PLUS link back to flickr. pretty fucking slick imho.

there is also a wordpress plugin that allows you to insert pictures from your flickr photostream via the “add media” function. this time you tell WP your flickr info and generate a “key” of sorts that it uses to scrape the picture info and paste it into your post as an html link. the name of the software i’m using is Wordpress Media Flickr.

so this picture here was shot in my basement some time ago. i left the blackpoint a bit low because i wanted to decrease the contrast a bit. there is some heavy white balance going on and a crop, but beyond that it is unedited. it was shot on a 5mp p&s.
