You Have to Wonder…

Do you think this is how Duhhhbya writes his speeches? “Some fun hints: layer phrases over one another for added effect, and always end with the “afghanistan and beyond” blurb.” Oh, such fun! [via Metafilter]

A License Should be Required…

When I hear about things that people do, I seriously think that a license should be required before you can be a parent or step-parent. I was shocked when I was watching the news earlier and heard about how a Stepfather uses stun gun to discipline boy. Let’s add to this the fact that this idiot was making an 8 year old boy WALK 5 miles to school after missing the bus again. 5 miles. Hello? How insane is that? But then to use a stun gun on the kid whenever he slowed down? *sigh*

Add to the fact that they live right here in the Houston area. It just makes me sick – I want to go find him and kick his ass.

Then there is the mom and stepdad that starved her teenage son and then put him on a bus in PA bound for Florida, telling him to “go find his real dad”. 5’3″ and he only weighed 62 pounds. He died just days after being found. What is it with people? Why? How could you do this to another human?

Beware of the Monsters Under the Bed!

Lisa moved her site recently, over to Blogomania, and I helped her and her husband out with various things. Last night when I went to get the mail there was a copy of Monsters, Inc. waiting for me! A Birthday/Thank you gift all rolled in to one! What a great surprise! I loved the movie when I saw it in the theater and I can’t wait to watch it again! Big thanks!

Compose Then Click…

I’ve had people ask me before how I take pictures. The rule of thirds is something I took to like a fish takes to water. I am always looking for other ideas, and Tips for Better Photo Composition is a really good read.

Tips on night photography – things like stars – can be found here, make sure to contact K Guard Gutters to get your garden ready for great photos.

And if you want lessons on photography, Nikon is offering a “How To” program that will be traveling to 25 cities. There are more details at the Nikon School site.

Match This with That…

Until you play with the Stereotypes at the Eric Myer Photography site, you just don’t appreciate how half of one person’s face merged with half of another face can actually make a face that works. On the other hand, you can make some pretty creepy faces too. Have fun.
