What's been on my mind lately? Read on...
I put up two new project pages today.
First, I finally got around to putting together a page showing the wood shelves I made with a friend a few months ago. Check it out here.
Second, I took a few pictures as a made a shutter release cable for my Pentax camera. You can see ’em here.
You can check out MoveOn.org’s new ad for Kerry/Edwards here. I think it’s fine, but I’m having a hard time keeping this election in perspective. It’s such a foreign idea to me that someone could vote for Bush – I might know three or four people out of hundreds of friends and acquaintances who voted for him in 2000, and only one or two who’ll do it again this year – that I sometime find it hard to remember ads like this are even necessary. It just seems like common sense.
I took a roll’s worth of photos on the old Rolleiflex camera today. I should have them back by the end of the week!
Unlike the exposure calculator program I had to write myself, I figured someone must have reverse-engineered the Pentax Cable Switch F and posted the results online. I was right: check it out. Thanks Maciej! Thirty bucks is way too much for some wires and a switch or two, so I’ll be making one of these tonight…
In spite of the biting black flies (which I’d never had the pleasure of experiencing), the frisbee tournament in Maine yesterday was good fun. Caleb & Becky and I picked up with one half of the local team (aptly named “Black Fly”) – one heck of a nice group of people. Though it was much lower-key than (and not as competitive as) other tournaments in which we’d played recently, it was about the speed we wanted for a leisurely, Sunday, 4th of July tournament.
We spent Friday night and Saturday hanging out near Portland. Though the Portland Phoenix reviewer didn’t, we enjoyed Siam City, and the beach on Saturday was good, too.
The weather isn’t cooperating today (I’d planned a barbecue), but we’ll make the most of it and have a nice dinner inside instead.
