For some reason, this company struck me as amusing. I hope that they show up at your house with crazy equipment and things. They claim to take the frustration out of home computing, but I find that highly unlikely. Until a computer becomes a toaster, anyway... Well, I guess whatever their merits they get free advertising in the picture of the ( Read more... )

This building has been used for many things over the years, from the 1904 World's Fair to a Library to an eatery and lounge to the picture of the day.

I like the St. Louis Bread Company. Panera Bread is okay, too, I guess, though it lacks something. However, if you let it sit too long, your bread is no longer useful for eating, and is only good as a baseball bat and as the subject of the picture of the day.

A toaster is an appliance that you can buy at the store. You would never think to order the parts for a toaster and make one yourself. On the other hand, a computer is comprised of a set of standard interchangeable parts. The first computer I ever built is not for me (though I'll get around to that at some point). I've watched lcd_cow and alataristarion build ( Read more... )

If you're feeling cheated after yesterday's post, well, this one might be better. There's just been a lot, a lot going on recently. If you're on my friends list you may've read my entry from "last night" expressing joy at finally having nothing to do for a momet. Otherwise, you'll just have to make do with a picture of my phone.

You've seen plenty of pictures from my frequent walks up and down Skinker Boulevard. Today brings another one! There isn't much in the way of graffiti around this section of town. However there is or was someone once who thought tagging "Flux" onto signs and mailboxes and things was a good time. Here's an example for the picture of the day.

I like to imagine a time where it's common to have such ornamental signage as in this picture of the day.

It's another May Day. When I was younger, I wondered why someone would shout "May Day!" when they were in trouble. Leave it to English to steal a French word and then make its only difference from another thing be a space. I guess that's more than we sometimes get!

I couldn't tell you how many pictures I've taken from this room or of this ( Read more... )

Parking on this street is often hard to come by. One of the benefits of walking/riding a bicycle almost everywhere is not having to worry about that much. I suppose it's also slightly less of a concern if you're like the picture of the day.
