Mechanical Drawing.

One night a long time ago, I was looking through some books my buddy Eddie had on a shelf. Most were once his grandfathers. He was kind enough to let me borrow one I was looking at. I've cherished it, and have always meant to tell him I still have it, but always forget. I was looking at it today because I was looking up some designs to draw on my pages of graph paper.

Being that it was so old, I googled it. One thing that came up was openlibrary.org. They didn't have a photo of the cover or much of anything, so I went ahead and added it. I felt it was my historical duty.




CLICK BIGGER!!!

Looks like Petey.

I built...

...a Pinhole camera using my Canon Digital Rebel XT. I used some thick paper, from a file folder, and gaffers tape. Poked a small hole, and that was that.

April 25th is national Pinhole day, I'm late, oh well.

I missed the golden hour last night by minutes

Very interesting read.

Pretty much about the lady who live in this big ass house in S.F.



Here is the story in S.F. weekly.

Here is the house on Socketsite.

I go to both of almost daily, if you love San Francisco or the real estate market check 'em out.

Name that photo WINNER

The winner of my first "Name that photo" contest is JESSICA!!! She was the first to specifically guess what was in the photo. The dashboard of a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS.

I would have also excepted dashboard of a "Seventh generation" Toyota celica GTS.

I ended the contest early to halt the chance of people just coping her answer, in order to make it a "draw out of hat" situation.

She won the following.

I then made a box to put it in.

Congrats Jessica.

So you're hot shit?!?!

No, your not. This "www" dot textsfromlastnight dot com that everyone is linking and talking about ITS BULLSHIT, ITS A bullshit rip off of http://txtmsg.blogtog.com/index.html Which is original, witty, and has a fantastic Photographic edge to it. The other copy that I will not link is a pure bullshit copy, completely worthless. AND EVERYONE is all about this "other" one.

On crailtap #3 (kinda.)

Ringer is putting on a Cutest god Dog contest again. I sent a picture of Foxy. First one I guess. go to Crailtap click the opening picture, then the green column is where you will find. "
THE CRAIL CUTE DOG CONTEST kicks off entry number one with a dog named Foxy. She's a rescue that use to have to wear a diaper but now she's "not leaking anymore". Foxy seems like a name that Mikey would come up with for a dog.
"

BOOYAH!!!

Alright, well if you remember this entry telling you about shaq's twitter, and you actually follow it, then you already know of this greatness.



BOOYAH!!!!!! damn dude, Shaq keepin' it real! Shaq is my man, I'll support him in whatever he does. DAMN SHAQ!!!! Doin' it big!!!

Name that photo.

So, what do you think it is? Leave your answer in comment form. Winner gets one (1) container of play-doh. Color is my choice. If there is multiple correct answers I will take them, then choose randomly out of a hat. The cutoff is April 30th 2009 by 11:59p.m. Pacific standard time. I will announce the winner on the First of May (Uno de mayo.)

UPDATE#1: Be specific. I'm not taking vague-ass guesses.

Fresno's El Capitan Dog park is back open.

El Capitan and Alamos Fresno, CA. Its been back open for a little bit now. It is a great big dog park. Better than Woodward park as far as some people go. There is still a pretty decent sized mud puddle in one area of the park, so watch out.

Took Vega and Foxy there last Friday.

You may notice Foxy's legs are muddy. Yep...


... She found the mud puddle.




Then she ran around to clean off.


Foxy and Vega love each other so much. They love playing together at the dog park. I picked the following photos because they look the most vicious.












hahaha. Ohhhhh Doggies.

Knobbed spot.

JohnL and I went skating on Sunday. Had a good time. Among other spots including a new/unfinished skate park we went to a school that I had never been to, but remember seeing pictures and video from back in the day. Well, its now knobbed.

Remote cockpit

Like Remote desktop, just make bigger airline planes have a system where a jet flying behind can log into the cockpit and obtain control of the bigger plane. Then no matter the situation the plane can be flown to a safe place to land. Enough.

Fresno newspaper

I'm explaining for all of you who are out of Fresno, which is most. Our local paper here has this online blog. I have been going to it for some time, and now have decided to stop going to it. I could care less about a lot of what they are talking about, and the fact that they think they've found something original or funny, its not, its been done. I'm over it. taking it off my bookmarks.

By the way, I'm going to re-organize my bookmarks.

Epic indoor skatepark #2

So has Dlls or anybody up there been to this yet? It seems amazing.

May 30th

Who wants to go to Wallenberg? I guess there is another contest there. Big names, big tricks.

You've gone back in time?

Pretty good stuff to have in case that happens.

This house in S.F. is really nice.

I'm all about how its designed, decorated, location.

See it here.

I woke up this morning..

... wanting to listen to The Mars Volta. I never want to listen to the mars volta. So, who knows what this day will bring.

Matt Bellamy's Manson MB-1 signature guitar.

We all know Muse is pretty awesome, well dudes guitar is pretty cool too. At first I thought this thing was going to be pretty lame, but then I watched the video, its pretty sweet. Go to the Engadget link for the video.

On crailtap today. Could it be referring to a new shoe company Eric Koston is starting?

I guess Dallas bought one of these. How about allowing people who don't have a tumblr to comment Dallas.

I like these jackets. (maybe I should focus on summer stuff since its pretty much here.) CLOT

Alright, so...

... I'm sitting in my chair "internetting" around. In the background I hear HLN news, 'cause Bev loves to put it on that channel then leave the room. I personally don't want to get up and change/mute it.

What I'm hearing on there (among other things) is about the banning of certain interrogation tactics. HLN is taking live calls about it, and its so funny 'cause everyone is against the ban. HLN anchor trys to say a rebuttal but practically says nothing because its bullshit.

Not to get into political crap, but the Banning of certain interrogation tactics is the wrong move.

I'll leave this type of stuff to Justin.

Good idea.

Tech-wiper.

You should probably know more about this.



I for the first time in my life watched "2001: A space odyssey." Its an amazing movie. I'm thinking of calling my next computer build "The 9000."





Not "Hal."






UPDATE No, I'm not calling it that, its kinda creepy... I don't want my computer to sabotage me if I'm not nice to it.
