“The Shining!” – The feel-good film of the fall.

This is really really funny.

Canon Triple Rebate

Canon Triple Rebate pdf

Canon is again running their Triple Rebate program.

Buy one item, get the rebate for it.
Buy two from the list and each item's rebate is doubled.
Buy three from the list and each item's rebate is tripled.

Which means, with two other purchases, a 20D is $1000.

That's a rather nice deal, if (big if) you can find two other people looking to buy Canon gear at the same time as you.

So...anyone looking to buy anything off that list in the PDF? :)

15 seconds of love

15 seconds of love
15 seconds of love

The cat of a neighbor of userinfosomebodystrange and userinfodavesanngel stopped by while userinfohilhas1, Aaron, and I were outside. Hil got the most love and I took a 15 second exposure. The leading lines were entirely by accident, but they work so very well. Click on the photo for a larger (and better) view.

Climbing the curve…

Today a guy at work gave me an ASUS motherboard and AMD Athlon XP 2400 processor. He didn't ask for anything in return. Wow.

Now I need to buy RAM, a heatsink/fan combo, and possibly a new power supply.

If anyone has any DDR RAM they're looking to sell (PC2700) and/or a decent power supply, let me know. I'm in the market :)

evening light

Last night I took an earlier train home and found myself with 25 extra minutes of sunlight.

So, I quickly changed, and grabbed the bike and headed out. Not very far, and only for 20 minutes, but it felt good to do. The evening light was wonderful and, of course, I wished I had a camera with me, but that's pretty much par for the course. :)

In the next week or so (if I get up the courage) I'm going to write up a proposal to begin a Work From Home test period. One or two days a week and see if my company goes for it. Unfortunatly, my boss is not the one that can give approval. No one, that I know of, works from home during the week (though many with laptops are expected to work from home on the weekends) and so this will be A Big Deal to People That Need To Control Everything. So even if I can justify working from home to my department, the ultimate decision is out of their hands.

Clare Burson : Where You Are

does the moon got its head on where you are tonight?
does it dress up in yellow golden and white?

and when i look to the stars
will i know where you are
when i look to the stars?

does the ocean wear velvet where you are tonight?
does it rock you to sleep dear
softly just right?

and when i look to the stars
will i know where you are
when i look to the stars?

and does the sky still fly above you?
does the ground still stand below?
does the same sea swim around you
like it did those years ago?

and do raindrops dance down at your feet tonight?
do they sparkle and disappear in the lamp light?

and when i look to the stars
will i know where you are?
when i look to the stars
when i look to the stars
i will know where you are
when i look to the stars

Andy and Stephanie’s Wedding

A little late with the upload, but we finally put the photos from Andy and Stephanie's wedding online. Only a few captions so far. The above photo is me demonstrating my shock and joy at discovering the Sweet Table at Italian weddings.
