Zach Houston’s Poem Store

March 15, 2008 – 5:51 am

Walking north on Valencia I heard the characteristic snap snap snap of an old manual typewriter’s hammers striking paper on the platen.
I was more than a bit curious about who might still use such a classic machine even before its operator called out to ask if I wanted to buy a poem. Still, it’d [...]

Panorama Stitchers: Calico vs. DoubleTake

October 28, 2007 – 8:21 pm

I’ve been using DoubleTake to stitch panoramas for a while, but when I discovered p0ps Harlow’s photos and learned he was using Calico Panorama, I figured it was worth taking a look.
DoubleTake has done a great job for a number of my photos (Mt. Moriah, San Francisco Motorcycles, Mt. Mondadnock), and when the automatic [...]

Friends, Photos, Favors, Feeling Ill

October 13, 2007 – 12:43 pm

I practically begged Will and Karen to get on a carnival ride with me so I could get portraits with the lights streaking behind them. Will warned me that he doesn’t do well on rides; I argued that no ride with so many kids under four feet tall could be too dangerous for us.
We boarded, [...]

Corrosion Test Facility Not As Rusty As Expected

October 8, 2007 – 12:07 pm

Corey, Will, and Jon were all as excited as I was to see the fabled Point Judith Corrosion Test Site, just south of Narragansett, but we were all surprised at how un-rusty the goods were.
Don’t laugh, corrosion is a big deal. According to the National Materials Advisory Board:
Corrosion of metallic structures has a significant [...]

We were there because of the Point Judith Corrosion Test Facility — the Rust Museum — but who can resist chasing seagulls? And who can resist posting the sequence?

Smashitup Smashitup Smashitup!

September 28, 2007 – 12:01 pm

After all my agitating for small, cheap, fuel efficient cars (and automotive metaphors), I figured I had to post this picture (and a few others) from the demolition derby at the Hopkinton Fair a couple weeks ago. My video of the four-cylinder event is at YouTube.
Extra: I don’t know where it fits in your stereotype [...]

Small Is Beautiful

September 16, 2007 – 12:57 pm

Will found this on the side of the road, and after he told me about it I begged him to show me.
It’s tiny, rusty, and a little older than I expected. Like a very, very small VW Bus, it has a rear-mounted engine. I think it’s a Subaru Sambar, but that’s mostly based on [...]

A Shadow Lifted, Berlin’s Smokestacks Felled

September 15, 2007 – 9:50 pm

Corey and I went to Berlin to watch the stacks fall today, but bad weather, confusion, and some dud explosives conspired to leave me with no usable pictures of the event.
We arrived early and lined up a perfect view of two out of three towers that were to be felled, but as the explosions [...]

Allagash Wilderness, Maine

August 20, 2007 – 12:34 pm

Will, Jon, Joe, Ted, and I arrived at Telos Landing with plans to run the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. As we prepared to embark, the park ranger appeared with a tape measure and told us our kayaks weren’t canoes.
Section 2.3 of the Allagash rules and regulations is quite clear: ?A canoe is defined as a form [...]

p0ps’ Panoramas Shot With iPhone

August 18, 2007 – 12:57 pm

I’m coming to learn that p0ps has a number of interesting things going on, but it was his panoramas stitched from pictures taken by iPhone that caught my attention first. Above is the J Train somewhere between Fulton and City Hall.
I’d thought the iPhone’s camera was pretty decent, p0ps’ work shows it off.
J Train, panorama, [...]

iPhone + Newton + eMate Pr0n

August 15, 2007 – 12:13 pm

It’s likely Phil Carrizzi could make a broken tire iron look good, but his series of the iPhone with the Newton Message Pad and eMate is geek-sweet eye candy.

iPhones Around The World

July 26, 2007 – 3:35 pm

A long time ago somebody started the Newtons Around The World gallery, and it came to symbolize the love we Newton users had for the little device as well as our geeky pride.
The trend seemed to continue with iPods Around The World, and now iLounge wants to start a gallery for the iPhone. I was [...]

If you ever tire of the kittens on Flickr, it turns out there’s no shortage of bunnies on YouTube.
