I am beginning to believe that all original ideas for products have been used. A few days ago I was thinking that it seems weird that my batteries are all giggling around loose in my camera bag. Today I received the latest edition of PC Photo magazine, and a few pages in was this odd, […]
Yesterday Chris’ aunt generated my astrological chart. The chart itself is more astronomy than astrology, it is the positioning of various celestial bodies at the time of my birth and their relative positions to the location of my birth. The astrology part comes with the "reading" of the chart, which is an interesting psychological event […]
This evening I tried my own attempt at making a chicken seasoning. I was going for something mildly spicy with a bit of a bite, but nothing too hot for my dinner guests (my parents and Chris). I overshot and ended up with something very spicy, but that was considered to be a good flavor […]

Is there anyone who can save me a few hours of deciphering what these mean (ignoring supercooling, which doesn’t affect ceramics)? Vitreous refers to a material […]
Got up at around 5am, and I didn’t do much for the first few hours except read email, watch some stuff on YouTube, bookmark some shit in Del.Icio.us and things like that. After a while I ate breakfast, and went back to email. I also read the feedback in my digital photography class from my […]
My day started at 1am today. I didn’t do much then, just browsed some porn and looked at modifications I could make to GITI and things like that. I ate breakfast around 5 or so.. had a waffle with natural peanut butter (yummy ). At around 6am I brought out my pottery wheel. It was […]
I can understand the general Internet population not rotating their sideways pictures because it is a fairly hard thing to do… but what about the people who have 3000+ images on Flickr?
