I need a better background than crappy printer paper (that kills the light more than anything else); reflections are cool; I wish they made some for humans... |

I think the reason WHY its a great shot is because of the content. |

Where is that lilac light coming from? Is it the laser one? |

Why did you hav a book in the background? I like that. |

If they are all sci-fi or science, they must belong to your father! |

Good title! Where was this taken? Did you modify the stones in some way? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
they’re quite significantly modified - zoom in and you’ll be able to tell! it’s ugly at full zoom but cool at lesser zooms this is on the ground at MBS, right under where the car picture (You Say Tomater) was taken |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |

i see them every day and didn’t recognize them! |

Yep, I had zoomed in, and the stones didn’t look quite real  |
|

By the way, did I hear you complaining about having to take pictures inside the house? Come to New York!!!!!!!!!! |

they look like they belong in ”Ice Age” |
|
 |
 |

yeah that’s kind of the cartooney effect that filter gave.... heh... mainly wanted it to make it less obvious that I blanked out half the picture, though! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |

so ... just a few more hours and it’s down to Norwich to see this thing blown apart. yay for two and a halfish months of work going kapooey! |

soooo... we’re back from norwich, and - guess what? we only got 325ish pounds, but the bridge didn’t really break. The arches are still perfect, the bed is still almost perfect, the floss is flawless, but one tiny support broke... and another pointless piece of wood came off (the left loose piece in the picture). We could have been a tiny bit smarter and gotten a lot more weight. But, all in all, with a 2.9 pound bridge holding well over 100x its own weight, we didn’t do too bad at all! |

It looks very good, but a complete picture might be nice, too. |

the complete picture looks almost exactly like yesterday’s except for this little split beam... so sad! |

dunno what might be happening tomorrow *cough*maybeBeatlesoniTunes*cough* but I do know that today, Apple, Inc. got the rights to the Apple trademark for music. Meaning the lawsuit (20 years worth) with Apple, Corps. (beatles record company) is over. Which means... who knows? So anyway Apple, Inc (computer) is licensing the name to Apple, Corps. But yeah. Steve’s a beatles freak... heh |

When the tower leans too far, the blocks will fall. |

Do I detect a little manipulation here? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
is this when you broke my candle holder? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
or is this when you broke my candle holder? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
the only manipulation was to erase the background. that’s exactly what the tower looked like! and it really was falling over! haha yeah that’s when we were breaking it - though not that exact time because the candle holder was off to the left side  |
|

Aunt V  |

I’m stumped too - what surface did you photograph? |
|
 |
 |

Vegetable oil and water and food coloring  |
|

Maybe you should forget the math and go to work for National Geographic. |
|

Thats the sort of pictures they have. |

There is a huge amount of snow out there. It’s piled over a foot above my head on some drifts. What a storm! |

I understand the really like, but I don’t title the picture. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Title is because it made me think of that classic picture of the black hole feeding on the supergiant star; but when I look again I see there’s really no connection... ahh! Jan..? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|

BTW those are two different lights, from Amy’s big octopus lamp thing... one is focused on the filament, one on the outside of the bulb. |

I want to see a picture of you |

I like it, but what is it? |

 |
 |

Pepa  |

Sarah  |
 |
 |

It’s almost like someone is under a sheet bent over (like reading with a flashlight in the dark), except the outline of everything is blue. |
|
 |
 |
 |

Amy  |

Yeah about that! it’s amy’s dolphin plasma lampy thingy |

Now, can we get a never-emptying wallet? |

A spool of some kind of wire? |

it’s a little thin for a slinky. |

I think you photoshopped that cube in there! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
funny thing is : most of the guys in black you see around the cube are security guards. there were probably 10 guards running around. there’s a little step down towards the glass and they came over and told us not to stand there. like that’s they’re only job if there’s no shoplifters, or something |
|
 |
 |
 |

That is such a beautiful church? Do you know how old it is? There’s one on Washington Sq. that’s been there since the Dutch were around. Could you go into the church? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
it’s about 200 years old (a little less) and I’m pretty sure you could have gone inside |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Did you do anything to this picture other than make it black and white? Was there a cemetary behind it? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s a good shot...was it from the 35th story? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
they are! and yeah, this was from way up top  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
we didn’t look behind it, and the only other thing I did to the picture was crop it and change the levels (so the sky was all white) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |

Pepa  |

The NY shots are reall great. You got a good eye! |

Aunt V  |

Although the original church no longer stands (it was built in 1659 and burned by the British in 1777), the old Dutch Church in Kingston may be of interest to you. The current church was built in 1852. The cemetery on the grounds dates back to the mid 1600’s, and it’s possible you have ancestors buried there. Based on church records, you definitely had ancestors who were married or baptized in the original church. |

Did you see that poor person still at work in the building next to your hotel? |

Hahah...thanks...it was kind of luck the way I actually (by chance) figured out how to make the lens look slightly 3-d. But the program’s going to be really cool. It’s a shame we have less than a semester to use it in the theater. |

So, when you left I DID beat Eric...haha by one point--then we played two 3-point scrimmages and I won both of those against him as well--Mr. Weisenstein has lost his touch?!?! Good times. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Why did you rename it? Ah...I don’t usually suck like that. Ah I believe that was luck...Mr. Weissenstein has supreme skill. |
|

hahaha wow he was doing well... too bad I didn’t get to finish. perhaps you were all tiring him out! |

nono the % is ABOVE the name! |

Miss Amy, you are NOT stupid, It was a little confusing. I voted! |

Amy, you are surely not stupid. And I voted too. Guess for who and I was confused too. |
|

I voted for you! And was this picture taken with the new filter? |

nice picture, just keep the snow |
|

 |

it was worth a shot! but now I can’t check it, nor could I make any adjustments - I don’t have any red and blue glasses! maybe someone does and can try it. maybe I’ll try this one again someday with something more ... landascapey... where I have more of a chance of it working! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Wow that is so cool! Looking at it at first is very peculiar on the eyes. You don’t have any red and blue glasses? The glass looks a little red and blue tinted to me...but do you need something that is originally red or blue? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I know it’s not a coffee maker. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |

 |
 |

It’s one of those pens...you press lightly on the bottom bulb, and the liquid bubbles and shoots up into the top. What is the specific name Tim? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I dunno - but I know you need red+blue glasses to view it in 3d, silly! |

do YOU have red and blue glasses? |

no as I might possibly have mentioned in my first comment. |

Could this possibly be in reference to energy considerant blubs?  |

hehe. can anyone tell what the book is? and this is all a comment on this video: here, which I believe is a complete fake. I think with a little bit of time (to set up proper lighting for greenscreening), I’d easily be able to accomplish the same thing in ten minutes in Final Cut... because the camera never moves! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |

OK it moves once but it’s just a little bitty zoom which is easy to do, too  |

You weren’t happy because the GPI weren’t happy. But the pictures were lovely I bet. Including the puddle animals. I suggest posting THAT. yuck! |

It’s a commercially made telescope mirror that is of OK quality (not great) seen through a Foucault tester. |
|

there’s a leprechaun sticking out of one of our new snow piles |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |

Sarah  |
 |

From a distance, it looks like a green piece of popcorn, or a possible half of a leprechaun ”PEEP” (which do not exist...YET) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Did you really stick the flower in the snow? Or was that added in later  |

...and it only gets worse as you get older! You’ll find your to-do list growing longer every day! |
|

not a very big piece of paper for your do-list |
|

I hate to-do lists... but it is nice to be able to cross things off... |
|

Is that seriously your ceiling? Mine aren’t that bright? |
|

sarah  |

it is empowering to cross stuff off  |
|
 |

however, whenever i cross something big off, it’s like wow...let’s be lazy for a day because that one big thing is done! |

So time is chaotic continuum? It dashes against the rocks in a rush, and nothing organized comes of it, however, somehow, it’s beautiful? Or maybe it’s just free? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
sarah  |
 |

i take it the water wasn’t actually this gray? or is that part of the imagination behind the title |

|

JPK  |

I’d say that time itself is rather simple, but because of it’s alarming rate, the chaos is formed by the objects that get in the way--the unplanned meetings, the spur-of-the-moment occasions, the things that take us away from the repetative stream of the river and send us down a chute of adventure--sometimes leading to injury other times just adding a flare of greatness to stir things up! |

but the water is being restrained and set free! maybe, we are at the stage of our lives when we’re falling over the edge. |
|

lol. i was going to say slim shady! It was really nice out today. Did you get a lot of pictures? |

very much related to what goes inside the plastic on tomorrow’s picture, but of a higher density (something on the order of 5x more) |
|

nope they’re not falling. and the title was some sort of late-night reference to the failing music industry and how much even music enthusiasts care about it. because they’re idiots. |

Is this a heliographic image? |

How long was the exposure? |
|
 |
 |
 |

hahaha well ... aren’t all images still heliographic, in a way? that’s a five minute exposure. amazingly enough, I didn’t actually add any grain in later... that’s what I got. I just desaturated it... hmmpfh.... hehe... not at all what I was expecting! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |

except... that picture isn’t heliographic like most are, because the sun’s down (took it at 11PM!)... it’s streetlightographic |

wellll... when I do the 5 or 10 minute exposures of the star trails, the trees look really cool... but... I didn’t want to go outside so I did this through the window and it really screwed up the picture  |

finally something I recognize |
|

you support the usage of mice? Ah me too! I like to click things. It’s better than that touch screen kind of stuff (iPHONE!) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Where’s the Steve Jobs one? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
nah. touch screen totally wins so much more natural (multitouch...lemme see you do THAT with a mouse!)... I’m just demonstrating the mouse face they put in the pro mouse  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
but the iphone gets smudgy. if it was on another surface that doesn’t get disgusting, then sure! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
except only a handful of people in the whole world know if the iPhone gets smudgy and neither you nor I are one of them! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Steve tells me things you only dream of knowing! |
|

Sarah  |

So what kind of cloth does this huge screen have? There’s are multitouch special sensors? They should figure this out and then work on holograms. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
If I would learn physics, I would want to work with holograms (oh yeah and NASA and the motion of angry cells ) |

Founder of Forfar, the field station. it’s not a town, just a couple of buildings of course it was fun, and I’m sure you’ll see all of the pictures sometime soon (there’s 475 of them, so probably not ALL of them!) |

nah though the same thing happened here, this isn’t the place you’re thinking of. we weren’t ever here at high tide, so we only saw it like this. I have a 360 degree pano of this, but PS only wants to do four shots at a time, so I don’t have time tonight to do all 9. perhaps later! |

Oh no, we’ve seen that horrific little icon before! Were you able to recover? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|

why?????? where’d you see it? nope - seems the drive on my desktop (24/7/365 for almost four years) is gone, along with a bunch of un-backed-up stuff we have a maybe-way to recover it, but it’ll take some time yet to tell.... aaaah  |
|
 |

Aunt M’s Mac mini freaked out and displayed this charming little symbol. The recommended fix was to boot off the install disk (I think). I put in the wrong disc and could not eject it because there is no external eject mechanism, and of course it wouldn’t boot up to where the keyboard or eject icon could be used. I eventually found a post from somone who had the same issue, they pointed me to a document for resetting the PMU/PRAM. Whew! What a pain in the neck, but we finally got it fixed! |

When you first put this picture out, I could make out everyone. Then you must have made a change. |

That url is specifically for the mac mini, of course |
|
 |
 |

of course you missed the note that the drive will ALWAYS eject if you hold down the eject button while it powers up (long time holding it down, but it works ) |

That’s a lovely shot, Tim. Do you think Flossie will recognize it? |
|
 |
 |
 |

I’d assume she would, but I don’t think she has the bandwidth/patience to come look! |

You must have been to Hackeldam! |

Around 1800, a Dutch immigrant named Hackle built a sawmill on Wolf Brook in the area behind Grandma Gordon’s house (diagonally across the road from Aunt Flossie). The area eventually came to be known as Hackledam, until 1918, when the community ended its existence. |

P.S. Did you know Grandma once made dandelion wine? It sounds better than it tastes.... |

I’ve always wondered, how much can you buy with a sand dollar? |

Those are so pretty Does ”embarrassed” refer to the phrase ”blushing flowers?” |

A cool fact about tulips (it is a tulip righto?)- In Holland during Tulipmania in the 17th century, one tulip bulb, Semper Augustus, was quoted at a price of 13,000 florins, more than the cost of the most expensive houses on the canals in central Amsterdam! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
or perhaps the fact that the flower has red cheeks? :_) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |

Oh look! it has eyes, and a nose...and yup cheeks |
|

Sarah  |

huh? If you want to go clothes shopping sometime... I’m your girl! There needs to be a funny t-shirt shop in Burlington. Just so you could buy witty shirts to enhance your wardrobe. |

The whole fact that this is not forced community service makes it acceptable. However, the fact that people cheat doesn’t make rank completely honorable at all. you did ti the right way so...congarats. |

are you sure you didnt lose half of your school stuff? oh it would be so much fun to have a bonfire and get rid of a lot of it. but it’s important to look through and find the stuff you’re proud of. |

Just one more question, who is Kaylee? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
She’s from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. the little technician with the pigtails |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Oh, I should have known that. Thanks, Sarah! By the way, which college be attending? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s which college will you be attending? |
|
 |
 |
 |

 |
 |
|

|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Kaylee is the mechanic aboard Firefly... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
...transport (I had to go check) ship named Serenity |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
apparently it’s been established that it is in fact Firefly. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I was getting a little confused because I was thinking about KAYLA, a character in The Prophecy of the Gemini, a favorite story of mine! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
hehe... not so much... : ) |

It looks like something that could be an eyeball but isn’t. You added the purple of course. |

We made it... even though it was extremely tough around 2 AM... the five of us (mom slept) stayed up alllll night! Now (at 6:56) I must go to bed! |
|

 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
It is so much shorter!!! Yikes... and it feels a lot different, but it dries fast. And since it’s going to a good cause, I think it was the right thing to do with all of that hair. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |

Happy Birthday, Amy. I’m so proud of YOU! Some little kid will be lucky and excited to be getting your hair!! |

in case someone doesn’t know - those are the tacks amy and I use on my big map when we go somewhere (so the title makes more sense) |

is that a dollhouse lighthouse? or a minature? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I think we needed more than a beacon  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That is a miniature replica of the Esopus Meadows lighthouse, out in the Hudson River not too far from my house. |
|

 |

Aunt V  |

Sarah  |
 |
 |

take a picture of the river for me? |

Why ”terrible”? And why three? |
|
 |
 |
 |

he’s hidden and because they’re all terrible |
|
 |
 |

Terrible as in people who tell really bad punny jokes |

teeheehee... yep.. now: now would be the time for everyone to speak up about what they think is missing from the apad site specifically.... I’m doing a little work on it, and changing some stuff around, and now would be the best time to make any changes anyone would like - so - drop me a line! |
|

Ha ha, very topical (and sadly true) |

Whoopee, Happy Fourth of July!!!! |

let’s see the new and improved site... |

Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
<3ing the new format! wow  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I hafta think about this. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
yeah... I know... it lost some of the simplicity and some of that may come back... we’ll see! -- on the other hand, the matrix page is probably loadable out there now! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Looks like things are changing. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
a little bit - does everything still look OK for ya? (haven’t tested much, just Safari and Firefox-Mac) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
question for all: are the scrollbars gone? I know FF was dumb and misinterpreted what I meant (and what Safari understood) with the old version... so now, the picture should properly scale to the page - does this work? (works for me!) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I guess I won’t judge to quick. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
woah. still looks BAD in Firefox I’ll fix it tomorrow!! sorry--- |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
NOW the scroll bar is there. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
i meant on the front page (scrollbars) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
JPK  |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Scroll bar is gone on the ”front” page (in FF). The picture is resizing better now than it was 30 minutes ago. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
The blue bar across the top is a little distracting. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Re tonight’s picture.... nice! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
When I mentioned the blue bar, I meant on the ”front” page. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I have IE6 and I’m getting a few error messages. I’ll show you tonight (if you care  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I love the picture!! And the site... except the blue bar! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I love how clear ”photo a day” is now! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
testing the new comments thing. it’s incredibly large! if anyone needs this much space, I’ll probably have to kill you... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
JEEZ! That’s a lot of space. I like the grey shading...but now the green and blue doesn’t match!  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
what you can’t tell there is that amy’s got a really cool, old SLR there - as seen in the ’extra media’ for this picture
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Guess what, we could tell that Amy was using an ”old” 35 mm SLR, but we can’t tell what YOU’RE using! Very clever photo, by the way. Whose idea was it?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Love the photo of Amy with the Minolta! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
What is that on Amy’s wrist? In extra. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
true hand’s in the way - I’ve got a late-90s-style film camera! Dad’s camera’s in the shot, and my camera took the picture. Hehehe - ahhh - on amy’s wrist... that’s a ... bracelet on the left... and a watch on the right (except you need to flip the watch open to see the time) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
and what you really can’t tell is that the extra picture of amy is actually a tiny crop out of a much bigger picture of all of the other cameras pointing at mine
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
You’re right, I would have guessed you took a separate shot of Amy holding the camera. Who came up with the title?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
grandma  |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
and the time is...11:?? PM...GO TO BED! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
At least you’re being creative at 11:43 PM! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
and that’s my really cool OLD slr bought in NYC with Pepa, if you remember that story! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I love the picture... and I love the camera... if only I could figure out how it was supposed to work (Aunt V-I still have pictures from when we built your telescope on it!!). Anyway, what’s up with the extra?? You should have posted all ’three’ of us! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Amy, if Mom agrees, bring the camera with you next weekend. I’ll show you how it works! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Contact? With what, the carpet? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I do. I wondered if that’s what you were referencing
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I love how I have grey carpet now... Maybe you should have taken it while it wasn’t moving... it looks kinda funny. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
it reminds me of a text book model of the heliocentric theory. ahhh copernicus! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I can see your reflection |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
nowhere NEAR as good as Kevin’s - anyone know how he did his?? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I guessed right! It is moving! That’s beautiful. Did you use food coloring for the water? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I remember when you got that SLR very well at 57th Street Camera. Where? On 57th Street, of course. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m afraid you lost me again. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
What does the title signify?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
think Grease or ... look around!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
yes, the water is food-colored  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I wonder if the depth of the water is important... he used a bucket, I used a little bowel. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Amy  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
hahahahahaha how about a BOWL! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I know! Scary! (the reflection) -- haha I think I lost myself... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I don’t get the title either. And I wonder about the timing or do you do a time exposure? It is cute! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
title is a stupid pun (or is it even... perhaps it’s just stupid) for the Grease song, It’s Raining on Prom Night.... ahh timing! I actually just made it take lots of pictures really fast and drip-drip-dripped with an eyedropper-thing. Still took 70 shots before I got ones I was happy with... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
pfft. wanted to retake but I’m out of juice! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
There IS a way to improve this picture  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Well, I confess, I do not remember that song from Grease. But I like the picture. Good thing you have a digital camera and can take all those shots!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Well after you get juiced, you can do a retake. And post it in that retake area that seems to have disappeared! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Well, I’m glad you all survived the thunderstorm. But what the heck does THIS title mean?! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
tell me if anyone has any issues - just changed it so the picture doesn’t show until after it’s loaded and resized.... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s much nicer (not having to watch the photo load)!! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Did you get a LOT of rain? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
indeed. and yet it appears there’s more on the way tomorrow (today) and wednesday! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
oops... hahah guess there’s some things to fix (scroller in comments, probably the matrix too, then!) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
there... that should be better! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Woah...the bottoms of the comments (and some entirely) chopped off! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
It’s upside down! I love it when you do the colors like that. Think crocus! Nice walk yesterday! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s better. Great picture  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I never thought of those high speeds shots. Clever! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Maybe you should have an extra battery. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That hydrant reminded me, long ago I took a photography course at BOCES, B and W, film of course. Each week we had to pick a subject and take a full roll (36) pictures. I did a fire hydrant. The instructor said he had never heard of that before. And now you take seventy shots of a drop of water in an instant. None of my hydrant were very spectacular either. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Now THAT’S a funny story! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
hahahaa cool -- so should have taken photo.!! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
well... after installing 2 new hard drives (and getting RAID-1 running, which was incredibly painless on OS X - and means that I’ll have basically four copies of my data at all times at college - hopefully no term paper mishaps/horror stories like I hear so much from ex-college students) and installing more or less every removable component in a new computer for Alex, dad’s poor screwdriver has had lots of work to do these two days! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Maybe poor Dad will need a new screwdriver  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
it’s incredible that this was taken in vermont, in JANUARY |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
his name isn’t burrito, it’s one of Rachel, Snowball, Buckles, Charcoal, June, or Betty, but he just looked mexican to me!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
he lives at Sam Mazza’s petting zoo
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I don’t know, he looks devilish to me! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Of course I vote for JUNE!! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
P.S. Of the 36 picts, none were upside down. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
If you want screwdriver work, try drywall. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
He looks almost good enough to eat. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
WHAT???!?!??! You wouldn’t eat a goat (would you?) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Is he the parent goat you spoke of? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
no that’s the little baby - who eats goat? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Tim, that is a breath-taking photograph! You really take great flower pictures. (Or maybe it’s the camera?)  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Goat is a delicacy in some cultures....
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
it had just rained, in case ya can’t tell |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Nah, I’d say there’s a little artistic and technical know-how showing! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Even though ’Burrito’ was cute... I love the flower a ton more! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Looks like a card in the making! |
|
 |
 |
 |

Aunt V  |

Oh rats, Mom, you beat me to it!  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |

I’ll have to find my OWN lily to take a picture of. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
| |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I like it also. You can really see the water drops.
Are you sure you did not us he water hose?
hee hee hee  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Are you sure you did not use the water hose? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
haha no hose... it poured while we were trying to eat lunch! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
ya know what? this picture wasn’t upside-down EITHER until afterwards! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
poor Amy - a week from now, she’ll know the end of the story! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I predict that J.K. will become either bored or broke within four years, and write another HP book! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Maybe Voldemort is a Horcrux! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Now where was that taken?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That wasn’t taken outside... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Big drip, little drips and tiny drips. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
it’s the car’s window... oh, and ... no picture today because I don’t have a camera (nor the patience or time to do that) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |

Looks like a big place. Better take the GPS. |

Pepa  |

 |
 |
|
Or does iphone have a GPS? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |

Haha fraid there’s no GPS on this one. Someone said they might be able to triangulate based on cell antennas for rough positioning, like they do for 911... |
|

Does it have anything externally other than a place for headphones? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
and a home button, and volume up/down, and a dock, and a sim card slot, and a silent/ring switch, and a power button |

Indeed, lots of somebodies love you! Those blocks must be about 17 years old... |

Mom  |

I’m thinking Auntie V made those for you. I know I love you! |

did she? I didn’t know that! |
|
 |

Auntie V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m pretty sure I made them for you, with help from Auntie M, when you were a (cute) little fella. Back in the good old days, we made LOTS of things for you! |
|
 |
 |

Aunt M  |

I need the rest of the books! What am I going to do? I think I will have to go to the library on Monday! I’m trying not to read any articles that contain spoilers. Is that a wand? Did you get that at Borders? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
What an exciting evening Friday night. Amy made the wand! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I just finished the book!!! It was amazing, as was Friday night. I made the wand but it came apart... so I have to make a new one. Anyway... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
It was a great conclusion. I’m on page 200 again...trying to take it all in. It’s the LAST one |
|
 |

I’m sorry, but I didn’t get the book. Maybe next week.

So have you taken the Van out by yourself yet? |
|

Pepa  |

Drive very carefully and live to be an old man. And no iphone while driving. |
|
 |
 |

no, I haven’t been out; don’t want to be out; and I’m not going to drive; nor will I use the iPhone in the car

Are those actual blocks with stickers on them? They look CG’d. |

Great photo, Tim! Looks like you had as nice a day as we did. But how close to that bee did you get? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
haha not toooo close! You remember that amazing zoom! Ooh looks like my dates for the past week of pods is all screwed up- I’ll have to go fix that at some point.... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |

Looks like legos to me. With a good theme. |
|

Take heed and be as busy as a bee. |

a RL copy of a blender thingy I did months ago |

I wouldn’t want to... but you can if you want...  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
since this picture didn’t and won’t come out very well - does anyone have any interesting ideas for ways to pose myself and this lovely flag for a little RPI photo contest? hehehe. soliciting ideas (how horrible of me!).. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
You and the flag (as a sail) in a kayak, with the caption, ”Sailing into uncharted waters” ? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Do you want to stay in the dark in the picture? If you do, I would suggest a silhouette of the mascot (dunno how you would do that) with the only light being on the flag. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
cool to both dark == bad though |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
haha...I can picture you trying on those huge father wings I told you about, hopping around your driveway trying to be a Redhawk while waving the flag...
funny  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Feather.
Or maybe a picture of a magician pulling bunnies and strange and cool objects out a hat...and there’s the flag on top of the pile!
Yeah that was bad. Good luck  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I liked the planting the RPI flag on the moon..too bad it wasn’t July 20 AND it was too dark! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I second Aunt V’s idea. Now where would you find a kayak? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
You have a lamp? nice color. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I had another thought... you climbing a mountain (okay, maybe a hill) and planting the flag on top as you gasp for air You could call it LOFTY GOALS! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Or maybe you should show Mom and Dad’s dollar bills following the flag to RPI  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Hey, no touchy my new toy! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
can anyone figure my exposure time?  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
No, but we can tell your bed time! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Yes, there are three second hands, so it’s a two second exposure... that’s my guess and I’m sticking to it! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
| Tim  |
Pepa  |

|
Does’t lava come from volcanos? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
haha indeed! now what if I told you I didn’t use a tripod, and my wiggly hand was on it the whole time? hehe that little squishy RPI brick is coming in more useful than a normal stress ball... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Cool! what is that kind of picture called?
What does the title mean? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
polar panorama - the title means that it came out terribly because of the lack of sky and I promise I’ll redo it in a day or two if I get somewhere where there’s more horizon!!! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Is that the hose laying in the grass? Neat photo. The backyard looks lovely! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I thought it was an alien, looking down from his UFO, thinking, ”No way, I’m not landing there.” ”There’s no one in the yard to beam up, try and find somewhere else!” |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
How come it’s backwards? Is this the kind of picture where you can put a cylindrical mirror in the center and see an undistorted view in the reflection (thus the ”backwards” ? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
no, it’s the kind of picture that is supposed to look like a mini-planet of its own... but I didn’t get enough sky (the trees are too tall!) to make it look like that! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
There’s a book that we had to read in French, and it had a little planet just like that! but someone actually tried to ILLUSTRATE it by hand. Did you do that in Aperture? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
DO NOT: question my title. DO: try to figure out what the title means DO: check out the NEW REDOs section! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |

I will Not Try This At Home - I don’t have the right equipment! |

amy helped me with the redos |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I figured it out!! It wasn’t quite as hard as the LCMHC... but Yay! And the redos were fun!! You should definitely go look! I stood on a stool. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
By the way... the picture rocks... I’m just wondering what the white/yellow part is in the center...?? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I cannot find the REDO’s! What am I doing wrong? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Redos can be found on the home page... if you click the last button at the bottom of the screen (it looks like a refresh button).
And LCMHC stands for Lake Champlain Mental Health Clinic/Center. It’s a really long story... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Okay, give me an example of one of the photos that has been redone, ’cause I can’t find the button you mention!  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
You may need to refresh your page in order to see the redo icon! |

For Pepa: Tenedor is Spanish for fork (eating utensil)! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
for June too...and I took 4 years of Spanish. We never got past hola! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Thanks Aunt V. I do hear lots of Spanish, but don’t understand a word, yet. Does the out of line fork have any significance? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
oh. Wrong kind of keys?? Well both of my mac keyboards are really really clean now!! |
|
 |
 |
 |

Don’t tell me you took every key off your keyboards and cleaned them?!! |
|

Mom  |

Cool picture.
If you are so in to cleaning I’ve got a bathroom for you! (and a bedroom) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Cool! (You need better backgrounds) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |

I do need a better background, but this was a rushed picture when you were all urging me to pick up the kitchen! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I wouldn’t have let you move them off of the towels. Besides, some of them were still drying. At least they weren’t different colors! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |

wow. You own more music devices than anyone I’ve ever met. |
|

Is there ever room for a video iPod? |
|

I think I see an iphone among the stuff. |

Looks like a lovely camping spot. I hope the weather was clear last night!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
It was a lovely spot. And it was a BEAUTIFUL!! And it wasn’t even too hot--actually it got quiet cold. But our tent is very nice and the people who came to see the telescopes were nice. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
mom  |
 |
 |

what fun we had hiding in the woods at lake carmi state park.although if I remember correctly someone was hiding in the car! |
|
 |
 |
 |

Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Coughquitecough... It’s hard to type on the iPhone. |
|
 |
 |

yah... I hid in the car to sleep perhaps I’ll go in the tent at stellafane... |

I like the tent. Looks like its got a lot of room. |
|
 |
 |

pretty sure Vivian took that picture, actually... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s pretty cool, actually (no pun intended) - Amy hiding in the flames. I can see that it might creep you out, Amy. But the campfire looks nice! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
actually, that fire is in the chiminea back home! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Finally a picture that I know what it is when I first see it. It is a lovely looking tent. Sleeping outdoors is great. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m a bit disappointed. I thought it was in front of the tent. But at least it’s outside. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ick, do you want my picture of the snake, to go with this? That is one ugly buggly! |

|

| Tim  |

now all you need is a picture of an ignition. |

Pepa  |

 |
 |

this is what happens if you don’t stop ahhh my camera is busy recording for TOMORROW’s POD + extra media, so I had to use Dad’s. I guess it’s been a long time since I’ve used his camera, cuz I don’t remember it doing that! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |

When you don’t stop what? That picture looks hand drawn! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Interesting, what setting did you use? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That would be the Gimp setting...  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Gimp is an image manipulation program... |
|

hile this picture may not mean much, the video is absolutely incredibly. look at all the life, of all sorts. watch it ten times, isn’t it really cool? did you notice the dye seeping into the plant, too? this is well over a day’s worth of images, taken every five minutes... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
ONE BIG NOTE: I highly suggest that you right click here and Save As (or whatever!) the video, since it’s large (15MB), and it’s too big (HD) to display in a regular browser window. You’ll need Quicktime 7 to view it (probably other things, but QT7 definitely does). So Amy and Sarah should be set, and Mom and Dad, and probably Vivian and Margaret. I don’t know about Pepa/Grandma - sorry - but I can play it for you next time I see you! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |

more about the video. This is a 30 fps reduction of a 50 fps video recorded at .033 fps. There are 342 frames. So, I’ve compressed 102,600 seconds of real life into just 6 seconds. That’s what? a 17,000x reduction? wheeeee! time flies when flies are having fun. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
The video is quite cool, but I was unable to download it. I’d like to watch it in slower motion. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Your ”click here” option only seems to be a link. Is the video somewhere else and I’m missing it? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
erm. the ’click here’ is a link to the video. Right click on it and save it! and to all for whom that one last night was too big, here’s one that should play better (including for Pepa/Grandma): here (It’ll be up in a minute!) |

That’s Denis and Doug Woos, and Dad, and Amy’s arm. And the ”80-20” scope (whose owner was standing behind it)... |

Just how many telescopes did you get a picture of? |

It’s an odd angle view of one of the decorations that hangs under our deck. |

That’s an interesting view from the back yard!

Oh, I never would have guessed, but it did look familiar. |

I think I saw you take that one. Nice color? |

I even know where and who that is! |

I have lots more pictures if anyone thinks those would help! Auntie V+M have lots of these in their front yard. They make sand hills and are really quite huge (4 cm, and not even fully extended...). Dad + Vivian tried to kill them, but didn’t succeed since the nests are so far underground. But maybe if they knew what they were, they could better attack them? Anyone have any ideas? |

I think I might be on the right track... cicada killer, or sphecius speciosus. Supposedly they do not pose a threat to humans, but I surely don’t want to put it to the test. An article in wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada_killer_wasp
and lots of photos here:

Happy Birthday to Sarah. Hard to believe you guys are 18! Think back to when you were 8 and in Mr. Moore’s 3rd Grade! |

Sarah  |

Thanks. It was a good cake too.
Yeah I miss the sandbox at recess in 3rd grade Even when all the other kids teased us, we always stayed friends. It’s been nine years! |

That was a very nice present from Amy and Mom. It doesn’t look like you are getting to bed any earlier though! This picture was posted rather late  |
|

Hope we surprised you. We wanted you to have something extra special there. |

I need and explanation on this one. I know what it looks like, but is it? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
it looks projected off the side of a building... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
that’s the logo of the theatre club here... we went to a show of theirs (that new freshmen put together in 2 days) last night. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Mom  |
 |

Tim, I love that....very cool. How was the show? And your show? |

I hope you’ve been getting fed since I left you there on Tuesday! I know it will be better when you can go whenever you want. It looks pretty in the lights. |

Sarah  |

can you pick up your cell? |
|

I promise I’ll post a better copy in the coming days - better resolution, better sky, and better bricks in the middle... but for now, this will do! |

no. that’s Commons, where we eat. Cary is the big building in the bottom right. Barton is the one building that looks significantly newer, straight down. |
|

Maybe RPI can put that photo in their promotional paperwork! Very cool! |

Now here’s one that needs to be explained to me. How do you do it. There must be a mirror involved? It’s a very interesting shot, though. |

can i read into this one ? |

Are you missing a day? Was this supposed to be the 27th? I like being organized! |
|
 |
 |
 |

Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
A church for computers? Or an old church used for a classroom? Or something else? Whatever it is, it’s a beautiful building! |
|

Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
um hello? Keep date? Nice picture |
|
 |
 |
 |

that’s the computer lab/server room/computer store/help desk building for the whole campus  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m guessing RPI lacks useless beautiful sculptures
What does it do? Shiny  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Is there really a big sundial on campus? Or have I heard incorrectly? |
|
 |
 |

Aunt M  |

What a beautiful building.
Lots of neat stuff at RPI. |
|
 |
 |
 |

Aunt M  |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Cool! Are there other pieces of artwork like this around the campus? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
This used to be a different sculpture when I went here. It was two VERY large rectangles (like 2001 monoliths) that were also shiny stainless steel. They floated around in the wind in a similar way as these do...
New comment on yesterday’s Chapel pic. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
This beautiful building was slated to be torn down back in ’75 or so, to be replaced by a new computer center building. The students rallied and protested so vigorously to not have it destroyed that the powers-that-be were forced to reconsider and decided to integrate the mainframe into the present building. I think they made the right choice! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’ve seen that! Dad is a wealth of info on RPI stuff! Glad you’re seeing so many new things! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I agree! There is no reason why the past and present can’t peacefully co-exist. I’m glad the students cared enough to prevent the destruction of the chapel. Thanks for the history, Dad! |

Ok, I was hoping for someone a little neater than you..but since you guys are getting along so well, I’ll deal. I keep meaning to ask about the SNORING?! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |

there’s lots of stinky eggrolls in the fridge if you want them! I think that might have been a mistake.... |

Nice shelves, Tim. You got the picture posted before we got home. The room looks very clean and neat. Not quite like it does in real life. LOL! |

What? Pink? Red (you have two maroon...)? Brown? Awesome! |
|

I love it! More girls than boys! Love the rainbow too. What were you guys (and girls) doing out on a beautiful Labor Day? |

You still don’t have a very good red... but it totally rocks. And I definitely knew about the rainbow part.  |

Why is Tim so incredibly uncomforable? And where is Rob(b)’s other B? |

After classes today, for a lovely Friday night activity, Gino and Rob and I chose to spend our time testing the limits of each other’s machines I won’t tell how it’s going, since the contest is still on... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Looks like this one is on the floor so if you want to beat it you’re going to have to take yours down to the second floor (or toss it out the window!) Are you testing speed or security? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |

Did you do this all night long?
So who won? :D You Unix people... |

 |
 |
 |
|
You must be feeling better... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I don’t expect anyone to get this one. I helped a Barton-ite import the tape for this video he’s making about this little fellow, allowing me to spend most of today in the air-conditioned building! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
And now you know where you can get more food
Should be much cooler today...
Nice ”robot” (I see feet) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Smart boy! You’re helping someone AND keeping cool. Hope you’re feeling better! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
The little fellow (a robot?) is the box with the feet? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
is this the same guy that people ran around in? It looks a bit small for that. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Rob and Gino and I went to the library today and checked out this (it’s the original MINIX book which Linus read and eventually led him to write Linux), the original X manual (for Rob), and something else (for Gino). Much fun! All sorts of crazy old stuff (VAX manuals and such) in the computer section of that library. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
You want my Data Communications book? I bet it’s even older than that one
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
And tell me, are you getting ANY sleep? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
so you are legally retrieving these books that was funny. Does this Linus speak at the Ubuntu Summit? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
And tell me, are you getting ANY sleep? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
hahaha I bet it is, considering the first edition of this book still only dates back to 1987 Still, before me. We get lots of sleep (well... I do, anyway!). Seven or eight hours a night on weekdays, I’d say. More on weekends! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I thought Linus is a guy in Peanuts.
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
haha! our journalism professor had a funny iPhone story. yeah the technology behind phones has truly evolved.. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s exactly what I asked Tim four years ago  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V and Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That is NOT an old phone! An old phone would be black, with a rotary dial! Or, one that you picked up and said ”Operator, please get me this number”! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Or one that was mostly wooden, hung on the wall and you had to turn a crank to use it. John Barton had one of those in the kitchen and one in the workshop so Evelyn could call him when dinner was ready. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
OK, this came in a little late You must have been having too much fun to (or were too tired) to post this last night. Was this at the E-club meeting? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’ll say this came out late. It was not there when I checked at 2:30 AM this morning.
But I guess you are having fun  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Did I hear someone say ”MacGyver?” |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
hahaha yeah mom sent me a note this morning ”where’s the apad??” - I posted last night, but sometimes I have to hit ”upload” twice for it to go.... and I went to bed without checking! so yeah, this was at e-club - someone who’s trying to read and broadcast RFID signals wonder why?? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
btw - over the next day or two I’ll be moving apad to here, instead of VT, so it should get loads faster for those off of our home network (~10x) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
that’s so pretty! Very Polaroid  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Hey Ansel, nice shot! It looks like you had as nice a day yesterday as we did. I’m glad you got outside to enjoy it. That seems like an awfully small football field. What is the building center left? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Why does it look strange on the front page?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m sure you told me how to do that panoramic, but i forgot. And where is this taken from? I guess I better get a map of RPI. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
that’s taken from this really stupid set of stairs in the middle of campus pointing back towards Quad and the dorms... it’s a normal football field iTook this iPicture with my iPhone (actually a bunch of pictures) and iStitched it together with iHugin (actually just Hugin). It looks strange on the front page because I forgot to fill it out to a normaler resolution.... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
lets make a virtual tour! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |

Do the staircases rearrange themselves?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |

Dad  |
| |
|

22/7 like the Perimeter building... sadly the stairs don’t move, though!

Mom  |

Nice lanterns outside at the motel on Saturday night after the wedding. Did I get it right? It took me a minute! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Is this the cool and interesting stuff you are finding on the loading docks? Dad did tell me what that was all about. Have fun scavenging! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Why did you mess up the front page?!
Have fun dumpster diving! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I have to fix that (front page) - it’s busted because I moved it to the new machine and didn’t have everything I need there...
that isn’t interesting because we won’t be able to use it, but there is other interesting stuff, for certain! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
they have names - I’ll name them when Robb gets back |
|

Tux obviously.
Hans
and unnamed. |

Aunt V  |

Cute... Grandma will love this picture. But dude, the photos are taking TWICE as long to load as they did previously!
|
|
 |

sarah  |

feels special for suggesting it * cute! |

your linux tee would have made a great background  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
wait. whaaaa? it’s slower? I’ll play around, but it should be a good deal faster..... grrrrrr |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
because robb’s side of the room is a mess  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Dude...it’s really SLOW! I hope those guys did a good job cleaning up and I hope they did both sides. How come I didn’t see them when we were down to visit? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
And YOUR side of the comments keeps fuzzing out and you can’t read all of it. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Do you mean Robb is less neat than you? That’s hard to believe. And it is much slower now. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Let’s see...Tim’s is on the left, Robb’s on the right? Just like your beds are set up? COOL Robb...please don’t lose this one! OR are they programmed to find their way back to their owner?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
grandma  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Love the penguin.
Love Grandma |
|
 |
 |
 |

the one without the iPhone  |
 |
 |
 |
|
(sarah). pfft very cool so he got the same one? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
WOW, better not get them mixed up.
So how many minutes does Robb get on his plan?
Someday I will have one  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I think I see a little difference, must be paternal twins. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
so yeah. robb and I just spent a LONG time getting VPNc compiled on the iPhone so we can get on RPI WiFi. No such luck. Need kernel sources which won’t be out until Leopard ships. Ah, well, only another month’s wait! EDGE isn’t actually that bad! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
You two are having waaaaaay too much fun, methinks. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Your original explanation of that was pretty funny ”Is that file sharing?” |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I have been reading about the language barriers in the US today and when I read your comments, I begin to feel it’s affecting me. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
And vat vill you be doing with this hill?
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I hope the ants aren’t as big as the hill. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
’Splain. And is this photo for 9/22 or 9/23? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Dad  |
 |
 |
 |
|
This looks like a photo from last weekend...at the B&B. That looks like the crazy sheep dog that terrorized Tim... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Amy  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That’s what I thought too... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
That sweet, friendly sheepdog ”terrorized” Tim? I don’t believe it! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
soooo yeah... I was out all day sans camera, and almost forgot to post anything! In any case... it IS that dog, and doesn’t look as cool as it does on my phone... oh well! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
ooh ooh can anyone tell where we ARE? (only for a minute) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I’ll tell you all about the hill and the other various related hijinks someday, when I’m allowed  |
|
 |
 |
 |

hahaaha we both have college shirts on! |

Is that one of the Empire State plaza Agency buildings in the background? |
|
 |
 |

Ditto what Aunite V said! |

Cute dog, reminds me of Charlie. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I guess it’s in Albany, not Troy. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
NVM TIM! YES I can access APAD AGAIN! Yeah we had loads of fun...that plaza was so cool. It was a shame that we only got to stop there for a minute. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
was the dog on the bus?
Don’t anger the bus drivers :D |
|
 |
 |
 |

sarah  |

hey look at our matching college shirts :D
You owe me a piece of RPI paraphenilia (sp?) it’s so late...
:D |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m going to take MY REAL CAMERA out tomorrow for an APAD! And perhaps you’ll see a move back to the old server, since everyone says this is so slow  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I loved the funny squirrels And the Lowe museum  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
So does that mean this was taken with your iPhone? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
it does. and since it’s night, and I haven’t gotten out.... perhaps tomorrow! we got busy with a linux bug and it got to be late... now there’s no light... |

NOOOO. You totally get brownie points for carrying the luggage up that... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
These are the stairs up from Troy to RPI. At this point, you’re already a good portion of the way up, but you’ve still got a ways to go. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
So I guess you don’t need to go to the gym, with all those stairs |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
For excercise, walk down and run up! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
yes, it is a photo (except the text) - I’ll explain tomorrow... um.... noone’s going to get this unless they know physics I’ll explain tomorrow once everyone’s had a chance. We went to an OLPC project meeting today. I guess Robb’s going to hack X11 on the OLPC (they need lots of help) and Anthony and Mike and I are going to work on software. Seriously. Python games to teach kids science without words. Much fun! |

Power!! kg * m/s2 * m = kg*m2/s2 = joules/sec = watts |

Aunt V  |

 |
|
OLPC... is that One Laptop Per Child? I was just reading about that program. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I have such MASS that I cannot ACCELERATE over a short DISTANCE  |
|
 |
 |

power. and if you integrate it, you get work lots of it! -- yes, that OLPC! |

no. bad! don’t screw me up! kg m2/s2 is 1J... mad IS work |

no. bad! don’t screw me up! kg m2/s2 is 1J... mad IS work |

anywho. the picture is of the light on the ceiling. yeah. anyway. it’s dark and hard to find a picture today, but we’ll see! |

Oh boy, that brings back happy memories. Thanks for sharing! |
|

 |
 |

happy memories??!? I wanted to die using that thing for more than five seconds. I don’t know HOW MANY tildes and backticks I got instead of backspace  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Backspace key is good when they work.
I can get you a used keyboard that would work better than this one, if u want? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Sure, happy! Before those early keyboards we had to use a stone tablet and a chisel, and there was no backspace!  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
backspace key is good IF they decide to put it in the right place hahah no I don’t need a keyboard - that’s a keyboard on an actual sun workstation (Solaris 8) in the computer center! Thanks, though Hahaha yeah... and you had to carry it uphill to school both ways, of course! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
sarah  |

you listen how sweet! that is a lonnnnnng way down. Isn;’t that where the museum is? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
| |
Mom  |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
that’s Low, up high (9 stories). remember the Bravia commercial (if not, look it up - the bouncy ball one)? - I think that’s probably Robb’s foot. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
also - happy Leopard month, Slashdot’s 10th, Morgan Smallest’s 19th, and stuff! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
leopard! woot. ha you have to use quarters! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you skip doing laundry for the month of October and donate your quarters to the ”Aunt V needs a vacation” fund!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
And of course the BIG celebration in October is on the 9th! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt M  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Money Money Money..... have fun doing Laundry  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
and mom’s birthday month, but you have to wait for then.... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Mom  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I’m thinking those quarters need to be going into the machine, not stacked where ever they are stacked. Are you running out of quarters yet? When is Morgan smallest’s 19th? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
See those? That’s all of my quarters. You can’t see them all. That’s still lots of time worth of laundry, so no, I’m not running out Her b’day was yesterday (the 1st)! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
just went down; all the machines are full, and the one on the end is still (as in .... since the beginning of the year) full.... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Maybe, if there’s any quarters left over after Aunt V’s vacation fund, you could slip a couple into my fund. |
|

Anthony, Gino, Alex, Mike, and Robb. At Pizza Bella. |

And where’s Anthony? Is he the invisible one? |
|
 |
 |
 |

Anthony’s sort-of invisible over on the left in red; Pizza Bella is right over by Academy Hall and Java++. |

|
 |
 |

Do you have a Cheesecake factory in Troy or Albany? You guys are obsessed with pizza. |

That does seem like overkill. But of course we want the campus to be safe for you and your friends  |

Now, if you wanted to land a 747 in the fog, this might be good. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
problem is -- they say it’s for safety, but in reality, the glare is making it less safe. |
|

At least you can see what lies ahead. |

Back to firefox! ha yeah you’re not going to see many stars with that...you do have a beautiful campus though, and lots of light is a good thing...it’s way safer. But safe from what? your insane campus squirrels? |

Is that what it really looks like, or is it a trick? |

What is inside? is it a sports center? |

This is so my favorite picture so far. Was the water that blue? Wow...get the frog next time!!! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
that’s pretty much what the water really looks like, but it was touched up a little... it wasn’t really that blue, for example... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
but did the leaves really look like they could be peeled off? is this a fishing pond? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
yeah yeah the actual ... structure ... of the leaves was just like it is. I only fuzzed out the color and stuff |

Come on..he’s no slacker...it’s Puckyhuddle. He sat out on the dock, in the sunshine, waiting for just the right patch of water. We talked, watched geese splash and frogs hop. Saw a leaf turn from green to red! |

But it’s not a photo a day... it’s two photos one day... and none the next! |

Errr, lovely. What is it?

I don’t know. Free speech wall. I didn’t participate, but it was cute  |
|

Ugh. That looks like what the inside of my mouth feels like some mornings. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
ha. We have stuff like that too. but it’s more common  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
huh? explain.
lots of the sidewalks here are brick by brick...not exactly cobblestone. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Can you tell what it is? Besides being a picture of a display of a scan of a print of a picture of a display of a picture of a building? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
the building next to lowe? i dunno...call me
a picture of a picture. sheesh tim. I’ve been playing around with my trial of aperature and have decided that it’s really cool  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
OK, Aunt M says it looks like a reflection of pressed wood or MDF board. I think it has a different texture, but can’t figure it out. So give already! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I see mountains reflecting in a still body of water. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |
 |
 |
|
No, I can’t tell what it is , although it does look like a computer screen sideways. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Auntie M is right. But what’s it reflecting in? |
|
 |
 |
 |

Mirror???
Computer screen???? |

Aunt V  |

|
That is a startlingly blue carpet! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |
 |
 |
 |
|
I looked at this on a different monitor. Now I CAN see the nail clippers! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
built in the 70s and all each floor is a different startling color! |
|

it began like month ago! bio tech building? nice  |

Is this a real photo, or is it blender-rendered? |
|
 |
 |
 |

Aunt V  |

Never mind, I blew it up, it must be rendered. But the grass looks so REAL! |
|
 |
 |
 |

HA! Thanks but NO WAY is it rendered You should play around with RAW sometime  |
|
 |
 |
 |

plus... the noise... definitely a real photo! |

You didn’t post Obama!
Was this a picture of something in a chem lab? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
AND that was without zoom, with practically no battery charge left... a new camera is in order! The Commons was insane! Too many people, an extreme amount of cops, but Obama gave a great speech, as did Duval (sp?), and it hushed up the Ron Paul sympathizers rather quickly |

Wow Sarah! You must have been right up front. Where’s Hilary? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
Hilary charged 20$ so I didn’t go. Obama spoke right on the common. I was a few rows back...John Edwards hasn’t come here. I bet he will though. The Morman candidate had volunteers there too and they kept harassing me with pamphlets but I just ignored. |

Beautiful! It was gorgeous here today. Amy and I walked home from school/work today and rustled through the leaves! |

Don’t you just love to rake leaves? |

Hugs it* It’s soooo cute! I can’t wait to see it! This is such a great innovative idea! |

Your version of Christmas
To be fair, it’s a really good cause, it’s very cute, and if I have 400$ to spare, i’ll send one over to Africa and perhaps get one to toy around with. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Sarah  |
 |
 |
 |
|
It has a handle! No case needed! cool. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
hahah he’s so excited and the battery is still on the bed next to him... |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
and that’s with the backlight OFF... in 600dpi black and white mode... NICE |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
it does have a nice handle and it’s only right about 3 lbs... perfect for carting around and taking notes on. and battery life in black and white mode is INCREDIBLE.... (supposedly, we’re seeing between 6-8 in color w/ backlight) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
also, this SHOULD be the picture for december 31.. (note it’s #365) |
|

NOT! what I was expecting! You guys have fun with that. And why again is the deodorant on the hard drive? |

Is this a(n) OLPC? Looks very nice. Does it come in other colors? DO YOU HAVE LEOPARD YET???! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Aunt V  |

 |
|
If I’d looked at this pic first I would have had my answer. Have fun, guys! |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
that is an OLPC that’s the only color, but it comes with a colored logo that identifies your laptop out of a set of 400 on the back....

It’s gotta be OLPC, with that color, no? |

yeah! isn’t that cool? we went on Saturday. |
|
 |
 |
 |

nope. Gino’s diagonal and you can’t really see it through the peephole - that’s Connor’s door. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Tim  |

of course (plus that’s the XO logo) ... remember the story of when they were going to use cows to power it? (it was on slashdot, at least!) |

AAAAAHHHHH, laundry day at RPI. Or should I say laundry NIGHT, since I know that’s when the laundry gets done? The pile doesn’t look too big! |

while drunk, this one taped up our door.... in any case, we reported him (about ten times), so maybe it won’t be a problem again. |

on a holiday jaunt? did they open it? |

what?!? that is quite much DJ’s hand, NOT mine.
so .... story...
we’ve quite much solidified ourselves as terrible people. nick, annoying-creepy-I-lost-my-roommate-so-I-bug-you-guys-and-won’t-leave-at-4-am-nick, wrote a long facebook rant about vista and how awesome it was. so mike dictated a love letter to nick from a secret admirer/windows-lover, which DJ then proceeded to make incredibly overly girly, in a very awe-inspiring fashion. yep. he came up and accused us, but I’m pretty sure we convinced him it wasn’t us, because we would never write nice things about vista, and such....
yeah.
I feel bad for him, but I also feel that he might someday get the message that he CANNOT act the way he does and expect to have/maintain any friends. Ah, at least we talk to him, unlike the other 6,000 kids here. |

If you want to see snow come to Wolf Lake. But be sure to bring your windbreaker! |

Cool! Hope he has that replacement plan You, on the other hand, need to wear cleats on your shoes, ’cause there ain’t no plan for iMacs... (except loving Aunties) |
|

 |
 |
| |
|
 |
 |

yo no tengo una imac
and... ha! I’m just not taking my computer anywhere anymore... except to where it’s needed (today will be the first day since it snowed that I have to take it with me... we’ll see!) |

Aunt V  |

Hmmm, I think there might be a replacement assistance clause in the LAP (Loving Aunties Plan). But better to be careful on the ice! Should we get you a pair of YaxTrax? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Pepa  |
 |

Loving Aunties can be very nice, but it’s much better to watch your step. |
