Fixed It?

Dig it, I fixed my little wireless shutter remote. I didn’t actually do anything to fix it, but suddenly it works again. Cool!

In case you didn’t catch the hint, I took this artistic masterpiece of a photograph with the wireless remote shutter.

I have a remote with a cable too. That guy’s always worked, even though the casing is at this point only held together with happy thoughts. The infra-red wireless remote stopped working shortly after I bought it, but it’s working now. I wonder if it will work outside. I think that was a problem back when it was new. Who knows.

Spider Massacre of 2022

The spider hunt from this morning can now be more accurately called the spider massacre. The current kill count is seven. Seven spiders dead. I saw one on the wall in the corner and when I leaned in to squish it, I saw two more tiny spiders hanging out close by. I saw an eighth spider, a great big sucker, near the floor in the corner by my desk, but I couldn’t reach it. I’ll have to go back for it later.

More important than the on-going spider massacre, I ran into the most evil creature on Earth in the bathroom. A House Centipede. Vile, disgusting, evil beyond measure. The House Centipede (capitalized out of respectful horror) is the only creature that is so terrible to look at that I have legally sentenced the entire species to death. I murderlized it with merciless fury. I was lucky it didn’t try to run away when I went after it. Those sons of bitches run fast.

Lunch break is coming to an end, so let me share a photo from early this morning. I filled the bird feeders and took a picture with a blurry background. Oh, yeah. I took one like this on film too. At some point before the decade ends I’ll get that roll developed and we’ll see if it came out okay.

Until then, enjoy the digital version:

Spinning Media

Lunchtime photo shoot. I took two pics of a spinning record (Rush – A Farwell to Kings. Side two, track four. Cygnus X-1) with the digital camera and then tried to take the same pic with a film camera. Someday in the distant future I may be able to compare the results.

Spinning media and a blurred background? WOOHOO!

Bean Bag Cat

This is currently my favorite thing Patches does. Normally she runs away when I come downstairs and find her on the bean bag chair, but today she let me take two pictures. One digital and one film. Here is the digital:

You’re going to have to wait for the film.
