Kyle and I rolled into my driveway at around 8 AM each of us having slept for a few fitful hours. We calculated the total cost which, even after food, was around $200 per person. I still felt a bit drowsy and decided to take a nap and leave for work around noon. I woke up [...]
My departure from Chicago was like my departure from my host: icy. Peter made the outrageous claim that seasons I & II of Star Trek: The Next Generation where the best. I recognize I’m sometimes viewed as an iconoclast for my love of DS9 but claiming that the repurposed tripe that was the detritus of Star [...]
My driving in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston had convinced me that the parking space was a mirage concocted by parking garages to break down the will and force one to cave to their $16 a day demands. Chicago swept away this belief as Kyle and I were perpetually blessed with decent parking spots. I’m fine [...]
Feasterville has always been to me the Noah’s Ark of fast-food. Covering more ground has showed me that my region of PA is losing the strip mall arms race as Columbus held both a Little Caesar’s and a Donato’s Pizza, serving as a Land of the Lost of dead chains.

Additionally, I test drove a [...]
Kyle and I left at 3:40 PM and ground to a halt to the forces of “Rt 1 and the Infinite Backup”. Playing the local, I tried a convoluted set of back routes to get onto the turnpike via a rarely used on ramp and saw the source of the delay:
Der Accident
This was compounded by [...]
Kyle got an iPhone and with it the Internet. I’m not sure how we got on the topic but we wanted to see what nation had the highest surface area of water. After tooling around with the Vatican and Uganda we started just hitting Wikipedia and checking nations. We spent a solid 30 [...]

I get a good number of photos passed to me from people who’d like a little tweak or are looking to do something specific outside the realm of picasa or Microsoft Image Editor. Apparently an estrogen bomb went off in PA as these were the Adobe Lightroom folders I added today:
Ryan’s Kitten
Apollo’s Rainbow
Kyle’s Sunset

The first few printed images came out ok but I found after printing a few portraits, this only applied to greyscale or bright colors. Skin tones looked a spot odd as done by my quadtych of Kyle Harris ranging from ghoulish to gangrenous. I also have a few profile pictures of Randy Booz where he looks [...]
I purchased a large format printer and the first print black and white with a single color print I did from it was gorgeous. I then moved on to other pictures and quickly discovered that color calibration was the bane of amateur printers everywhere. I went to OfficeMax to grab some testing paper of 8.5″ x [...]
