Fresh Friday…

Just a little link love for more Fresh Friday Finds! Does it count as a meme if I’m the only one doing it? Ah, who cares! These people deserve your reading attention! So here they are – maybe not new to you, but new to me!

:: Secret Kings – Fastest way to win my heart? Mention Germany in any form. Traveling around Europe. I’m all for it! Let’s go!
:: Exposur3 – Chrys’s photographs have a tendency to make me very jealous. I aspire to be anywhere near as good.
:: White Light – Wonderful blend of photographs and the written word. I’m very, very in to photography lately.
:: Out of Order – I love her list of reasons to hate the word blog. Yeah, yeah, it’s in the title of my own site. I would change it if I was willing to give up my #1 rating in Google for Christine. I’m not.
:: Reconstructed Mind – A pleasure to read, and more wonderful pictures – in spite of what she might say about them.

If you don’t see me around much, I’ll be upgrading my copies of MT (yes, there are several of them) and then installing MT for others. After that, there is real house housekeeping to do, and then more housekeeping on Blogomania to take care of. In between all of that, I’m going to spend some time with my son and maybe take some more pictures. He wants to start taking pictures too, which is fantastic, but before we start going through film I’m going to work with him on some of the basics of photography. I’ll also probably have to curb him from taking pictures of everything in sight by suggesting that he help pay for film and developing. I don’t mind if he takes good pictures, or even some bad pictures. I don’t want 17 pictures of a snail, too close up to be in focus. The little $40 640×480 image digital camera for him looks better all the time.

Think Twice…

Should you ever consider renting some pr0n videos, be sure to think twice about where they’ve been, ok? The truth is scary … very scary. But so funny I laughed until I cried. [via Ciscley]

Slow and Sluggish…

I couldn’t figure out why my site was slow and sluggish. Then I noticed others were having the same problem. Then Robyn reminded me – there was a warning over at Blogrolling.com that they would have their servers down – and all of my Blogwhore links were run by Blogrolling. So I pulled them from the skins for now. Hopefully that should speed things back up! Please let me know if you’re still having problems!

A Sign…

While I was in Boston, I took about 30 pictures (at least) of the Old State House. It’s location is close to Quincy Market, and not far from the cemetaries that I photographed or Boston Common. Basically, we passed it 2-3 times a day for 4 days.

A sign that you’ve seen a bit too much of a building? I was watching an episode of “Crossing Jordan” last night. The show is set in Boston, and since my return from there I watch the episodes closely to look for landmarks that I saw on my trip. Last night it went a bit too far though. They flashed the image up of the eagle statue on the back of the building which has a plaque with a crest above it … and I recognized it immediately as the Old State House. You know a few too many details about a building if you can recognize it based on a statue and a crest. A statue that I could never manage to get a picture of because it was backlit every time I tried – so I just ended up with a silhouette of the building. That’s ok though – I can always catch it on TV.

In the Quest for a SPORK…

While waiting for my very own recognition with Operation SPORK, I think I’m going to Create My Own Terror Warning. Because nothing is more fun then creating unnecessary panic now, is it? [via Brian Kane]

And for some tasteless humor that made me laugh, enjoy the Incompetent Terrorists. [via e-mail from Mike K.]
