A Delicious Library

For some reason I've been listening to music I don't generally listen to.

So I started with Train... and somehow remembered how someone always said "I'm like the song Meet Virginia from Train". So after listening to it, I realized how accurate that was (for best or worst).

There are many reasons why I'd always prefer Drops of Jupiter to Meet Virginia (and the girls they represent):
Drops of Jupiter Meet Virginia
She listens like spring and she talks like June You see her confidence is tragic
Tracing her way through the constellation Well she wants to be the Queen
Reminds me that there's room to grow If you catch her stealin, she won't confess
Fell from outer space (did you fall from a shooting star?) She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess


Aaaaanyway... onto something more interesting...

Being the geek at heart that I am... I decided to get N a copy of Delicious Library. It kind of mixes two things N loves, her macbook and books... and now that I think about it, it also encourages her sense of order.

That app is just impressive. It even works with the built-in camera of my Hackbook:

So this is what the system profiler reads:

No photos for now... have yet to develop a Delta 400+1, a Delta 100, and a Delta 400 120.

...and I'm waiting for a phone call to set up the details for the next six months in my life.

I hate all the red tape required to satisfy this wanderlust.

Hope life catches you well.

Dinner

Somehow I'd forgotten the feeling of getting a brand new toy. The foam padding, the smell of the plastic bag, and all the surrounding act of unboxing.

But all the toys in the world don't mean anything if they remain static.

I don't know when my toys began to serve as tools of my craft.

Here's a shot from a recent project I have to do a multimedia piece on.

For some reason I don't feel like posting the rest of it online.

There are somethings that are just for me to take and assimilate.

This is not for ego or pride.

This is for me.
