ThoughtsThere is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

General NewsEver wonder what books have gone into public domain and which haven't? Google Book search has compiled all copyright information from 1923 to 1963 into a searchable XML format. Most of the books from this time are public domain, since very few books get renewed.

A Review of Once

MoviesOnce is an amazing, beautiful movie. It takes place in Ireland with a busker and an immigrant woman. It's a musical, but completely modern in style. The songs aren't numbers bursting out on the street, but arise from the characters playing or listening to music. They're all "singer-songwriter" style and because of the nature of their integration, they speak to what's going on in a less direct, more poetic way than you usually see in a musical. I actually forgot it was a musical until three songs in when I thought "Wow, I'm surprised they aren't cutting away from this song." The music is intimate and seemless and fits right into every scene.

That's all I want to say. I went into it knowing very little (and forgot the genre), and told The Fiancee nothing about it except she would like it (making a completely uneducated guess, trusting Netflix's recommendation service or whoever recommended it to me).

Flash or no flash

General NewsMy computer at work died. But it was old and really slow. There was nothing important on it. I could say that's internalized wisdom of non-attachment, but actually, I just didn't keep anything important on it, and by a stroke of luck, there was a big document I had been working with for a few months, that I just emailed out a couple of weeks ago. So, it wasn't really a tragedy, especially since it was old and slow and I needed a new one anyway.

So, I got a new one. And it's so quiet that when I came back from a meeting and saw the monitors in sleep mode, I thought maybe the computer turned itself off. But not, while it's on, the only thing I hear is the hard drive. I love that about Dells.

And it also doesn't have Flash. And I'm kind of okay with that. Because so far, 90% of the pop-ups telling me I should install flash have been for what would have been advertisements. The downside is that I miss out on YouTube, but I don't really watch many videos that much at work anyway (the new computers speakers don't have headphone plugs either). So, I'm trying out being Flashless because missing out on the most annoying ads is something I've been looking forward to.

General NewsI'm back from Hawai'i. It was a great trip. Drove around the island. Saw Pearl Harbor. Hiked up Diamond Head crater. Meditated on the nature of attachment and desire. Saw a Japanese Pop band (Tube) play at a street fair. Took surfing lessons.

I'm still sore from the surfing lessons that I took two days ago (two days and three hours, adjusting for the time difference). So unbelievably sore.

I sell pictures

PhotographyI have an etsy shop now.

http://wildlens.etsy.com

I sell pictures on it. I've only got three up so far (although that might double before the night is over). Take a look, let me know what you think. Just about every picture in my gallery is available for sale, although I won't be eventually putting them all up. The gallery is already the pick of the litter from my pictures, so the shop will only be the best of the best, not to mention what I imagine someone might want to hang up on a wall.

As a result, I've set up some new gallery software. Something that keep the full size pictures more secure and lets me easily do watermarks. If anyone was fond of grabbing full size pictures for wallpaper, I can set you up with an account that is still able to do that. But for anon logins or someone I don't know personally, they're now off limits for now.

Of course, if you want to buy something, that's awesome. But if say you let me know about one that you really, really liked, particularly before a birthday or similarly festive occasion, I just might find a recourse to present one to you as a....gift. Again, an offer to friends and family.

Albus is getting a little R-rated here.


But Arthur knows how to be demure.
