Poepic

I decided to publish a book by the end of the summer.

I stated this on my Facebook page today, so it must be true.

There isn't an actual publisher who is doing this for me; it's just me doing the design, layout and editting. I'm using Blurb.com to print it up and distribute it.

It's getting a 'poepic' status (coined by me of course) because it's book that crosses poetry with photography. Working title? "Banterlodes" or maybe just "Banter" I haven't decided...

Back to Back

Back to work and drudgery. Back to routine and thoughts of strangling incompetent supervisors. Just not a fan right now, though I have a tan so I can't complain too much, once this cold kicks it.

Some things are just more important than complaining about a job being sucky (as in sucking the life out of you), I do realize that. Surgery, for example, is a biggie. So is having to relearn your hand motor skills.

These are sufficient to distract me back to work. I wish these surgery-goers well.

Bingo Blitz

I've had the opinion lately that I can fool the lottery.

Disregarding my, you know, engineering background, I feel that one day I'm going to find a pattern and choose a set of numbers that are 'bound' to win and then I'll prove everyone wrong.

My theory is based on the fact that it cannot be completely random: the machine was built by humans. Even random number generators are not completely random, as they're based on a random-esque formula.

OK, it might take me 18 years, but I might as well start playing it now.

I've recently figured out how to pan-o-ram it up with multiple shots. It's kinda fun and kinda time consuming as most hobbies go.

This shot in particular is kinda cool since there's a lady off to the side, looking at the same thing I am: the view from the back of the ship. Little did she know she's been captured forever, mwa ha ha!

And there's an interesting point to all this: how many pictures are we really being captured in around the world? And suddenly we realize the world is becoming smaller the more we travel.
