Fishing For Photos
We ended up at Bennett Beach again. It is much nicer than Wendt Beach which is closer by but trashier.

Trisha' Bachelorette Party
[sizem]Paper Media[/size] At frizzy's, (e:southernyankee) took a pic with (e:flacidness) in the photobooth and I recaptured it on the 'kick. The photobooth is a strange media producing dinosaur. It's black and white and prints on paper. Paper! Yuck! I thought we were promised a paper free lifestyle 10 years ago. Thank you (e:terry) for never allowing me to buy a printer with ink.
[sizem]Translate It[/size] So now I have a picture of this picture and I'm sending it to the web and we have a situation with media based on other media, based on an event being sent to another medium. Is it changing during this process? What is the data? What is the media? Can we separate the form from the content in this case or are they intrisically interconnected. While my life revolves around this translation of digital media resources, I am still not exactly sure what the essence of the media is and if it can be separated from the content.
On the web, you can easily separate display information and style from content. But can you do that with other mediums. What about a photo. What is the content in this case? Is it chamile or TK? Is it the paper and ink? Does the history of the paper or the photo machine / sidekick and web somehow imprint some sort of mark into the content / media? Or is the media itself is unimportant? Does a photo of a photo somehow lose something in translation. What if they are using the same medium, what if they arn't (e.g. a picture of a painting)?
So can the original paper photo perhaps express something that the digital version of the image can't. Maybe it's just ascribing a sense of nostalgia. The photo machine and paper strip does have a certain aethetic appeal that is lacking in the digital reproduction. But what will happen in 20 years when the digital phone snapshots have a similar nostalgic feel to paper pictures. Is it possible that with time this aspect lost in translation can "develop."
We can't just look at these translations alone, we should also consider the reason for making the translation and see what that offers the media. If it offers enough value to the media, does it make up for what is lost in translation? In this case the digitization offers mass distribution to an otherwise static, temporary, and easily destroyable medium.
Okay enough of this.

Construction at the 567
We heard they will be installing a sprinkler system. I never intended to live in an apartment building. With my luck people will have cats and we will have to break the lease.
Here is recording of what we woke up to this morning. It's an all day process. Please turn your speakers down before playing it. It is mega loud.
Yesterday they started early in the morning and went until 7 at night. Most of the day throwing stuff around and yelling at each other about who is and isn't working. My landlord must have hired the cheepest, trashiest crew available. I should have recorded them yelling at each other.

Iraqi Prisoner Abuse
Well, it just resurfaced on the web again, this time on the Washington Post Site.
The person in charge --> "Specialist Armin J. Cruz of the502 nd Military Intelligence battalion was also demolished to the rank of private as another punitive measure after he confessed to forcing three naked inmates at the notorious Iraqi jail to crawl along a floor before making them simulate sex acts."
The Washington post has an entire gallery of the images here

On another note, I finally got rid of that problem where it would delay loading between the search box and the chat box.

I recorded the process and what I was thinking. It is my new usersound. To listen to userSounds just click on the user sound link in the User Stats area under the User Pic. If the sound is new for that day you will see a "NEW SOUND TODAY" images instead of the text link. Same with the profiles.
If you want to upload your own user sound simply click on the green music notes in yourcontrol panel.

Provincetown Elmwood
When I first viewed their gallery I didn't realize where it was and I couldn't recoggnize the buildings. They seem to fit into our own local architechture so well, but I just couldn't recognize the locations. It actually made me think that maybe I had missed part of elmwood. Here is an example pic.
We should have an inter-elmwood themed online event. Maybe they need a site :)
What's even weirder is that if you type elmwood and provincetown into google (GOOGLE - elmwood provincetown) we show up on the first page of returns because of (e:emilyjane) 's trip to P-town.
