| Matt L. |
reminds me of that mitch hedberg joke:
|
| Matt L. |
A friend said he wanted to show me a picture of when he was younger. Every picture is of you when you were younger. “Here’s a picture of me when I’m older.” “Son of a bitch. Let me see that camera.”
|
| Jason F. |
that was a good one. RIP.
|
| Ryan S. |
lol “let me see that camera”
|
| Ryan S. |
i wonder if we’re gonna be seeing more and more of this pale blue on the web
|
| Ryan S. |
threadless uses it all over. gmail uses it well
|
| Ryan S. |
it seems like the new grey of interface chrome
|
Lens steps
| Ryan S. |
changed the room’s topic to
“Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward and look for the ah-ha.” -Ernst Haas |

i had a photog teacher who forced us to get fixed 50mm lenses. one student asked what to do if we need to zoom. his response: use your legs.

Furniture with a face

| Ryan S. |
i like the link: “Who Are These People”

| Ryan S. |
furniture usually doesn’t come with a face
|
| Sam S. |

Mail.app vs. the clipboard
| Jamis B. |
GAH!!!! I totally hate how Mail.app uses whatever happens to be on the clipboard as the quoted message when you hit ‘reply’
|
| Jamis B. |
I have never wanted that behavior
|
| Jamis B. |
and it drives me NUTS
|
| Jamis B. |

Wild eagles
| Jason F. | |
| Ryan S. |
“Wedge-tailed eagles are Australia’s largest predatory birds and have a wing-span of more than two meters.”
|
| Jason F. |
That is nutty
|
| Mark I. |
I just scratched “Paragliding with eagles in Australia” off my list of things to do.
|
| Jason F. |
Shrewd
|
| Mark I. |
That’s me. Prudence personified.
