Dodgers are going for number 12 tonight. Go Blue!
I read this morning about all the photo editing scandals that have been going on. There are several in the news right now, but here is one of my favorites. Gives you even more reason to take what the MSM says with a grain of salt.
I read some great articles on how the minimum wage is total garbage and hurts people (yay unemployment!).
They’re by a guy named Walter E. Williams, and they’re genious. It’s a much more complex subject than "but they’re poor, give them more money." Do yourself a favor and get informed.
I’m still scanning old photos. I actually started over because I didn’t like something I was doing, but I’ve corrected that. I’ve blown through about 150 negatives so far. It’s hard because some are great, and some are pictures of nothing exciting. The problem is you don’t really know what you’ve got until you scan, and once you’ve done that, you might as well save them. A lot of these people I don’t even know, but I think it would be fun to give them dvds of what I’ve done. For example, I have a lot of photos of my 1st cousin once removed’s dad. It would be cool to surprise him with a bunch of photos he’s probably never seen.
A friend got a new HDTV and I’ve made it my personal mission to make sure people who own HDTVs know what they’re really watching (just because you tell it to stretch a picture and it fills the whole screen, that does not mean it’s HD). They have Adelphia/TimeWarner running off a coax cable, and apparently they send unecrypted local channels in HD via QAM. I tried looking for something in HD the other night, but I didn’t know where to look. There is the SD feed, a digital feed of the SD feed, and then the digital feed that carries HD. That’s three of the same channel strewn about over 100 channels. I have some actual channel numbers to try now, so hopefully we can find the good stuff.
If you talk to Paddy make sure to ask him if he got the package from the courier. It was sent via the London Express. The association is not pleased.
