A Million, A Billion, A Trillion Stars 26 Nov, 2004
Title taken from the Luna song Lovedust.
Vacation report: now in lubbock. The altitude or something else about the air doesn’t like me. I can't read four pages without acquiring a headache, which will greatly hinder my ability to come up with 5 minutes’ worth of material on Monteverde’s Orfeo for Monday.
Here’s a photo of me chilling out while conducting a slideshow of the “best of” the Virginia trip (1322 pictures to sort through) without any prior warning. Macs rule.
My parents got a new camera over the weekend. Of course, it has to take better pictures than mine. It's some sort of unwritten rule. Its native resolution is 6 megapixels, which is ~3x what mine is. It's one of the recent Fuji's, and seems to solve most (not quite all) of my complaints with my older-generation Fuji camera.
First, they now advertize the "native" resolution, rather than the SuperCCD-interpolated one. Second, the turn-on and picture-to-picture delay are something around 1 second, compared to mine which can go up to 10 seconds in some extreme instances. They added burst modes that take better advantage of the buffer, and fixed a number of whitebalance issues (the pic above was taken with it, which contains two different types of flourescent, plus a rear-projection tv as the primary sources).
Summary of things which need to be done in the very near future:
- Finish the DCLA updates
- Powerpoint + script for 5 minutes of Orfeo dissection
- Get started on the PSCI essay due a week from Monday
An here's some I just want to do for fun (to keep me sane)
- An rss feed for the Kings of Convenience forums
- Commenting to work on this site
- Get my Powerbook repaired
- Get my Neuros repaired
- Get some better styles so list items aren't quite so lame
