New Pics

I'm so ready for bed...



New pics posted up on the Picasa/Google gallery. There's a great tree right outside of our apartment, and in the mornings the birds and squirrels really hit it up for the berries. I shot 100+ shots, posted the best four. Here's a couple.

Online digi-print prices dropping

Price war over online photos hits new low - Yahoo! News



I know some of these companies are great. But, for my money I trust Wolf/Ritz Camera. They're local, I can get my prints today, if there are any problems with color, etc. I can have it fixed right there. Plus, they actually train their people on color management.



/Not to mention I used to work there.

True...ly ugly

I'm getting a little tired of the "True" dating service ads. This one just shows me they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Maybe I just don't get art

I got really bored today and decided to surf through DeviantArt's Random Deviant link. I found plenty of gems, including this piece of... work.


The Dog Hair Donut of Wisdom by ~satori7 on deviantART

Now I don't think in my wildest dreams that I have a huge fan base for my photography. I can barely sell a print. But who looks at this and thinks "Wow, other people will really like this!"?

Two more things I've realized from my surfing is:

1: Alot of people really like Anime
2: Alot of those people really like drawing/looking at crappy drawings of Anime characters

Now the first one I already knew. I myself am somewhat of a fan of the occasional Anime. It's the extreme that some people take it to is a little out there. "I love Final Fantasy SOOOO much, I'm gonna draw all my favorite characters together in goofy social situations. And I'll do it very poorly. During math class".

I finally just gave up on surfing DA. I got sick of having to surf through ten pages of home-made manga's and single submission artists to find one halfway decent profile.

I'll leave you with one more goody. I didn't even know that there was a Anime/NCIS fan club out there. Is that show even on anymore?

Myspace Outages, sorta

Didn't Fox purchase Myspace? I understood all the little technical glitches that went on with Myspace when it was a start-up, but come on! All the money that Fox has sitting around and they can't get some technicians to fix some of the problems? I'd just like to send a message on Monday mornings without having to copy, refresh, paste a hundred times before it will go through.

Uncovering hidden myspace items

Even though myspace is supposed to be a social networking site, more and more its becoming less social. Clever use of CSS and HTML trickery allows users to easily hide their comments, friends list, online status, or just about any other feature they don't want to share with the rest of us. Well, I don't care for that.

After sifting through multiple articles and how-to's on creating a DIV overlay for myspace, I was finally able to piece enough "usable" info together creating a working overlay. Along the way I came across some info on creating custom links to myspace features such as the blog, pics, comment, ect. The trick is to find your 6 digit friend ID, copy the link to the paticular page you want to link to, then drop in your friend ID. Here's how it looks:

Heres the url to my wife's picture gallery here on myspace:

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=55030234&MyToken=ef167572-1220-4b24-973e-101bd7d95110

Thats alot of garbage, but all you really need to find is the "friendID=" part. Now I'll pull up my profile and copy the link from that page.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=126933300

See that? Thats MY friend ID.
friendid=126933300

Now we just drop that number into our first URL, cut off some of the extra crap we don't need and bang, we have a URL to my picture gallery, which I can use as an anchor tag on whatever I want in my DIV overlay.

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=126933300

Now that got me to thinking. If I can use a friend ID and a URL to view my own stuff, what about other peoples? Yep, that works too. I found a friend of mine who had hidden her friends list with CSS that can be found on any of the 10 brazillian myspace sites out there. I copied the link to my "View Friends" page, then dropped in her friend ID and there it was. Now I can view any part of a myspace page that has been hidden from viewers just by knowing the friend ID. No more secrets.

I have found that this doesn't work on people who are not on your friends list and have a private profile. I would love to find a work around for that.

I'll post the generic links to most of the intesting stuff later, ya know, for easy reference. /End

Wii demo unit first pics!!

I just happened to be a the Gamestop in Conyers when the Nintendo rep walked in and started setting up the Wii demo unit. I immediately started taking some pics and shooting video. Here's the pics, video coming next.

Wii Launch - Gamestop

The demo game was Excite truck, which was a pretty good choice to show off the motion sensitive controls. I was a little suprised by the size of the remote. It was actually alot smaller than they make it seem in the trailer videos. The sensitivity was really nice, but I only got a minute or so to play around with it since there was a group of the usual retards and douchbags that hang around video game shops. The graphics look good, but I was also play on an Hi-Def flatscreen so, alot of things look really good. I can't wait for the full launch on the 19th.



No freebies today, which I was a little disappointed about but still, nice to get to touch ;)

Greatest. Trick. Evar

I had to blog this one. I thought it was a mistake at first but this guy really practiced this one.

Making the switch

If you you're a regular reader of my blog, then you don't notice anything different. If not, then you've probally traveled here via my MySpace page. Why are you seeing a Blogger post instead of a MySpace blog page? Because Blogger is a much more feature-rich and easier to use (not to mention more stable) blog. Plus, I can maximize my blog exposure by placing allowing it to be indexed from Blogger, and linked through MySpace. Ahh, the joy's of a custom DIV overlay.
