Solar Eclipse 2024

Blog, Photography

At the beginning of this year, I didn’t know that photographing the eclipse on film was something that I wanted to do. Heck, I don’t think it even registered for me that there would be an eclipse. Then, I saw some videos where people were hyping it up and why and suddenly I was hyped […]

Whositwhatsit? I’m pretty sure that the was the name of this assignment. Find an object and shoot it from different angles and then other people had to guess what it was. I think mine was guessing in about 5 seconds or less. (It’s a bike rack!) I genuinely hated this assignment. I remember having so […]

Blog, Photography

Recently, it came to my attention that the 2024 solar eclipse will be happening next month. On a whim, I decided to take a day off, and make a day of it. I have been itching for some time to relax, and celestial events are a good catalyst for relaxation, in my opinion. However, I […]

High School – Roll 8

Blog, Photography

There was no assignment for this roll, and to be honest I don’t really know why I took it. Likely, some younger form of me was trying to make the camera part of his personality and was bringing it along wherever he went. Who knows? The photos themselves are blurry but an aggressive kind of […]

I think I might have come across the most awesome variable declaration today: $sixmonthsfromnow = mktime(0,0,0,date(“n”) + 6,date(“j”),date(“Y”)); I don’t know what it is, but it makes me smile.

According to the police complaint, there have been several instances of liquor law violations since 2007, including violent disturbances, underage patrons being at the bar and selling liquor to intoxicated customers. —The Badger Herald Inc. I’m really curious how bars can exist if they aren’t allowed to sell liquor to intoxicated customers.

I hope Google is wrong

I was reading a blog post earlier today and I was told that Google’s suggestive search was amusing if you type in ‘Twitter is ‘. So I did. Then I thought I would try other things to see what Google suggested for them. Here is the result of me:

Twitter is fighting off a DoS attack when I finally get my code working. Such is life. I have been working on using cURL to send POST data to PayPal for almost two weeks now. Everything I tried seemed to send me to the PayPal homepage, without explanation. My tweets have been full of anger […]
