Broken iPod

Here is NitePod, all broken.

So Sweaty…

Helped move PCs Yo

Left iPod in my pocket

Now iPod is broke

How nice, a haiku to my broken iPod.

It’s hot and sticky outside, I am trying to resist the temptation to complain about it, even though I had to work outside in it and get so sweaty that I think I may have developed trench foot from sock sweat. There are Germans from World War I who had drier socks than I have now.

The plant was worse; humid, sticky and smelly to boot.

We moved a ton of computers then cling-wrapped them using a big industrial roll of cling wrap that we had to carry around and so on by hand.

I better be losing weight doing all this stuff, I can certainly feel the burn in my muscles at the end of the day and I haven’t given up on salads instead of fries at lunch and so on. In fact, I’ve been eating fruit in favor of snacks during the day too.

Argh, CRT-eezzzzz!



Very British Warning, originally uploaded by NiteMayr.


I’m using a CRT at work now as I had to give away my nice LCD flat panel to an end user. I couldn’t make the guy carry away a CRT into the plant and up stairs, that wouldn’t be fair. So I waved g’bye to my flat panel and got my hands on another “flaky one” that flaked out it’s last this afternoon.

Here I am on the Radiation King 9000 which has burn-in and terrible clarity. I’m going to have to get a better one soon or request a better monitor from the client.

It’s pretty humid over here in London; how are things in your neck of the woods?

If you're gonna do some art

Do it Strange!

I used the Jackson Pollock simulator to make this

I started out with the “grill” and started adding to it. If you can’t see Darth Vader, well, you don’t understand Modern Art!

I don’t understand Modern Art either; but I am neither erudite nor am I well-heeled. Thus I am forgiven my lack of taste.

What’s your excuse?

Oh No! Not Twins

Jake is sleeping here, but I bet he doesn’t sleep much now.

Congratulations on your twins Jake!

It only "looks" like murder

Over the Victoria Day weekend (May Two Four weekend for the kids) we attended a picnic in the Back Yard of family friends. Many burgers were masticated and some marshmallows were immolated.

Their back yard was so massive, it had a forest in it!

We sat around a fire and shivered, I was wearing a short-sleeved over-shirt and everyone had to ask me if I wanted a coat or blanket or something (as they were freezing). No way! I have at least 6 inches of blubber keeping me warm at all times.

We played boccie and ate and then moved on; thanks Laura and Shawn!

Weekends are Wasted sometimes

I want to get out with my friend and finally get down to shooting some good concept photos, but laziness and schedules always confound my plans.  This weekend it was fear of rain.

I had planned a shoot down on the beach with the water and trees as a backdrop or a trip out to the country and the windmills as a backdrop, but with the weather so uncertain the best I got was a short trip down to the boardwalk and some shots in the sun with my nephew as a Samurai.

This weekend, weather and/or plans permitting I’m going to try and get things together for a shoot.  Nothing fancy or concept driven; just some posed stuff in the sunlight (maybe over some playground equipment).

It’s only monday; why am I making weekend plans already?
