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 [...]

Mildly Funny Scenes I’ve Come Across Recently

September 14, 2007 – 12:46 pm

Not LMAO, certainly not ROFLcopter-ingly funny, but funny enough to want to snap a picture, and good enough for casual Friday here.
The boat in the parking lot, UPS vs. FedEx, and Hoe For Hire are all easy enough to understand (though they leave me open to easy criticism). The fourth photo is of [...]

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 [...]

Flickr To Get All Geotaggylicious?

August 28, 2006 – 12:22 pm

When Dan Cat gets cagey, and people are talking about mysterious map buttons in Flickr a guy has to wonder…is this why the lines between Dan’s hobby and day job are so blurry?
update: Ryan Eby points out that the map is live!

Twenty Years And A Day

April 27, 2006 – 11:49 pm

Mark Nelson’s Pripyat series on flickr is full of the pictures of desolation that people seem to be looking for as we solemnly honor the twentieth anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.
Google added high-resolution satellite photos of the area yesterday, and Pripyat.com offers both stories and photo galleries to help us remember.
It is there that I [...]

Chernobyl and Pripyat Satellite Photos

April 26, 2006 – 11:25 pm

Today, on the twentieth anniversary of the disaster, Google has added high-resolution satellite photos of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the abandoned town of Pripyat.
Above is the plant; the damaged reactor is on the left. In Pripyat, the ghostly ferris wheel was easy to find, but where’s the vehicle graveyard? Update: here it is. [...]

Nevada Desert

December 29, 2005 – 2:21 pm

We didn’t get to go to Barstow as planned, but I couldn’t leave Las Vegas without a peak at the desert. Fortunately, Red Rock Canyon isn’t far from town, and the Blue Diamond Highway does a nice loop there and back.
Along the way I found that the town of Blue Diamond has a new welcome [...]

Camera Tossing

October 21, 2005 – 6:04 am

Memepool introduced me to camera tossing at Flickr, where there’s even a group for those who are willing to risk their camera for a chance at a shot of streaky lights. But not everybody tosses in the dark, it’s turned out to be a a new fad in self-portraiture.

Least Wanted

June 22, 2005 – 5:49 am

I’m entirely captivated by Mark Michaelson’s collection of mug shots on Flickr. It’s titled ?Least Wanted? and he notes with little fanfare that they’re ?Nobody famous.?
Some of the photos contain little histories, like this set from the 40s and 50s that includes conviction details — ?30 days W. H.? for ?selling obscene literature.? Another image [...]

beatnikside’s Vegas Photo Gallery

April 26, 2005 – 2:07 am

I can’t help but like beatnickside’s Las Vegas Flickr photo set. It’s one of the most photographed of cities, but these photos are fresher than that. Sometimes enteraining, sometimes informing, the shots of Vegas’s glitz and glamour show special attention to detail.
This week is Vegas week at MaisonBisson, since I’m out here before heading to [...]
