No Love…

Isn’t it always how it is? I go on a mini blogging vacation. Leaving my poor little website to sit and cry, alone, in the cold, dark, world wide web…

It’s pitiful… :-(

I am sorry, dear website… For your struggles, I shall show you some love.

Jen and I spent this past Saturday (the 5th) at Cony High School, in Augusta, helping judge the 2008 Odyssey of the Mind Tournament. We judged Division I & III of the DynoStories problem.

Talk about some intelligent Elementary School kids!

I used the experience to test out my new(ish) Holga. Came out of it with about 6 usable images, for the low low price of only $20! Jeezze… I am finding cheaper film, and a cheaper lab!

Unfortunately, I ran out of film (so, 12 frames per roll? fun) and was unable to get any shots of the solutions. But I did get this priceless shot off between sessions.

This weekend I am going home for a bit, and I am pretty excited. My studio equipment finally arrived. I’ll be sure to tell you all about it… You know. Next month. :-D

Magenta, the new black/white/blue/ish…

Yeah, it’s a bit girlie, but I don’t give a lick, T-Mobile can go right to hell. April’s the new Month of Magenta here at No Steam Shovel!

Magenta

For those of you not in-the-know (my readership of what, 6?), you can check the whole article on how T-Mobile is suing mobile blog Engadget-Mobile for the use of Magenta in it’s blog. This isn’t an April Fools day joke, it’s real, and really stupid. I hope I get a Cease and Desist too.
