New Camera Self-Portrait

Self-portrait on walking path at Arrowhead Park, Maumee OH || ActionSampler

I picked up this little four-panel camera at Savers for 99ยข a few weeks back. This was one of the test shots I took over my lunch break, while walking in a local park. I’m impressed with the focal length, as this shot was taken at arm’s-length, a distance that makes most of my cameras cringe in blurry horror.

After only a moment of research this evening, I think I may actually have an honest-to-god Lomo ActionSampler. All the details of this unlabeled thrift-store find look exactly like the cameras on the lomography website.

Fantastic!

Brief Hiatus

There is a distinct possibility that I may be posting less over the next couple of weeks, as I really need to get the Lakeshoremen website ready for its October 1st launch date.

I thought it was all just busywork left, but I apparently still have some troubleshooting to do. I’m going to spend another evening on this particular problem of mine, then if I haven’t figured out why my variables aren’t talking to each other, I’ll ask my geeky homies to get my back.

So, updates will be limited in the very near future, unless something really fascinating happens in the next couple weeks (and I wouldn’t count that out entirely) or unless I really get a bug up my ass about something (again, don’t rule that out either, as I do have a couple blog entries brewing in my head).

In that same vein: if you’ve e-mailed me recently and I haven’t responded, don’t worry. I still love you. You don’t suck. I suck.

But, right now, I sleep.

Still Here

Not much to report.

Can’t get motivated to finish the LSM site, although I only have two weeks left. Still have a couple of issues to tweak out, like how precisely to have visitors download files stored outside the web root directory (for security’s sake).

Aaron got half a day off of work today to study sort guides for his new, easier UPS job, so I got to see him all evening. We went out to dinner at the Happy Rose, our new favorite Chinese Buffet With Sushi Bar.

My new iPod earbuds arrived today. What an upgrade from the Apple ones, and from the $5 Koss jobbies I picked up at Walmart. These are soooo comfy, though the behind-the-neck cord configuration might take some getting used to.

Saw the Arrogant Worms in concert at Owens on Saturday. Fantastic show. Maybe tomorrow I’ll feel up to writing a review.

For now, though, I need to get to bed.
