Friday, December 2. 2005Random stuff from the past couple of days Ahhh . . . Lexjet always has something fun for me to print on. I'm still not sure what I'll do with this stuff.  My scrap pile. Most of the stuff is canvas or fine art paper with untouched back surfaces. If you need something just drop me a line. I also have a number of prints that didn't come out perfectly that I'll be giving away. Almost all are canvas . . . may have value as an ingredient for creating something else.  A few design students used to ask me to hold on to these scraps and not recycle or discard them right away. They came semi-regularly to collect them. All of them have graduated or have moved away and no one comes around to collect the pieces. 600 square feet of polypropylene. This should allow me to fulfill my clients' short term signage needs for the next couple weeks.  Kevin, actor, improvisor, writer, comedian. We couldn't find an ideal font for something that he wanted to make and have printed for his girlfriend so he's writing on a scrap of fine art paper which later will be photographed and merged into another photo.  Keri (sp?) and Jonathan near closing time at McBain Camera Kingsway. According to Keri, the level of attention she appears to be getting in this photo is characteristic of their relationship.   If you were a printing junkie you'd probably find this label funny, too.  Everyone managed to angle-park properly except for this guy. The driver was obviously Oriental. Or perhaps non-Oriental and knew someone like me would come around with a camera and find his or her parking job humourous. Whoever it was, it couldn't have been an Oriental person parking like this in anticipation for my passing; we orientals have no sense of humour.  Canpar: The mark of a company that takes pride in getting packages to the receipient in one piece . . . well, perhaps in as few pieces as possible. This $300 roll of fine art paper came with just a few fragments of the roll end spacers and upon removing all of the tape one can count three distinct card board pieces where there should have only been one. I guess I shouldn't take the tape-reassembly attempt for granted. Friday, November 25. 2005New toys for Leanna, new paper, my brother's stove My first purchase of Kodak media ever. This is just a coated bond paper for making test prints, quick, draft quality prints for engineers and design students, and to plus black ink from the Epson 9600 when changing between black inks. Kodak boxes look so cool, though. I've not been a big fan of Kodak products in the past but I hope that this and a new sample that I should be getting in shortly will change all of that.  While I'm no baker or cook, that lasagna was harder than it should have been to bake probably because my brother's Maytag Advanced Cooking System range was a bit too advanced. WTF is convection bake?  A shot that Leanna's middle sister Jessica took with the F10 of me playing with her new convertible tablet, the Fujitsu P-1510D. It's 2.2lbs, has 7hr battery life, touch screen, 1.2GHz Pentium-M ULV processor, wireless networking and a whole bunch of other stuff all in a sub-$1900 package. More on this later.  Leanna's mom's new 17" LCD display by AG Neovo. One of the most unique-looking displays I've ever seen. Everyone in their household seemed very happy with the new toys. Now everything is silver.

In a way I'm kind of excited . . . but scared at the same time. Making this entry was almost as interesting as getting the e-mail:
Friday, January 28. 2005Getting even: website thievesA few days ago I noticed hits on my server from a page on AsianAvenue.com. Thinking that I had a fan club going, I decided to check the site out. Turns out that the guy was directly linking to a background rotate script that I was using and was using my backgrounds and robbing me of bandwidth. Photos were of Leanna so I had Leanna kindly write him to change his background. No such luck. So I decided to resolve the issue myself by changing his background images for him since I wasn't using the background rotate script anymore. If you don't mind seeing shemales, gay porn, or animal sex, check out his new website, complete with professionally remodelled backgrounds! Link to some loser I don't know I'll check his site daily to monitor his progression back to the path of integrity. While he has his background like this, I'll be taking suggestions and even direct submissions for alternative backgrounds for his website. Have a lot of fun. |
