I found this video for the new issue of National Geographic, it’s about photographers trying to capture the giant redwoods. I know you’re thinking… just take a picture of them. I thought that before I had been there. It’s really something that everyone should experience in person. I have plenty of pictures of us standing by the base of these trees, but they don’t convey the awesome power of a living thing that’s over a hundred feet tall.
Off to see the wizard!

I made this a few weeks ago. I think I was just obsessed with getting the ‘R’ right and then it just spread from there. I thought about making it my display for Artomatic next year. I think I may use certain aspects of this design but I think I’m going in a different direction.

I think I took this video last Thursday. It was raining in the morning. DC drivers are notorious for slowing down to slow speeds when there is a drop of water on the roads. But I didn’t know that the train drivers were like that too. At one point I swear I could have been walking faster than the train was moving. It was painful to see cars in traffic moving faster than us.

*UPDATE* – 9/30/09 – I saw this guy coming home today. Either it was just a weird coincidence or he’s been using this thing as his laptop.
This is about that time of year where I start to think non-stop about getting back on the slopes. I really have some things I want to try this year and places I want to go. Then I saw this video…

Good luck with not dieing!

So I went back to Amazon and ordered another cheap power supply. This time for only $20. They seem to be having a price war between Cheap Chinese Crap (CCC) manufacturers. So this one feels even cheaper than the last one, but it isn’t as hot as the surface of the sun like the last one. But it does have it’s own quirk. The trackpad won’t work while the battery is charging and even if the battery is removed it just gets all squiggly. This might be a product of the CCC battery that I have in there or the CCC ram. Now that I think about it, Lappy Topperson is becoming the Six Million dollar man of shitty laptops.
