Sewing curtains

(e:Matthew) and I teamed up and hemmed one curtains with the sewing
machine. It was weird trying to remember back to home economics in
middle school. I guess that skateboard pillow project paid off after
all. The sewing machine looks haunted in this photo.

I'm pretty sure Sarah still has her Whale.

I totally remember that skate board pillow, how funny!
I am eyeballing a new curtain project myself. However, the last time I made curtains for my bedroom closet, the apartment was nothing but snippets of thread and scraps of fabric for a whole weekend. So I kind of have to psych myself up for it.

Painting 24 Linwood

(e:Matthew) snapped a pic of me painting with his iPhone. I really want
to finish this up but work has been non stop so I can never take any
time off despite having like 3,000,000 hours to burn at this point.

My PBS pledge gift

I can't wait to watch the video, it has a whole part about raising
backyard chickens.

Opera mini, apple iPhone upload disabled
Category: mobile

Argh,the damn file upload in the browser is disabled, just like safari. Its totally ridiculous as every way less fancy phone i ever had with opera mini allowed you to click browse in a file upload box and send a picture.

What is going on with the mobile internet that file upload has been omitted?

It is half of how the web works. Download and upload. I blame greed because that way you need to download apps to upload. Otherwise people would just make web sites and there is no money for crapple in that.

This is exactly why I think its such total bullshit when Steve Jobs talks about the open web and slams flash. Is having to make an iphone app and then push it through the apple approval process any less proprietary.

The stupid spaces on here were because copying the text from opera mini to safari on iphone converted the spaces into non breaking spaces.

Oh yeah. Apple and openness. Goes hand in hand. Like PB and J. Fuckers. I like my iPhone, well, minus the disabled features, but the Adobe/Apple spat over Flash leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

Another side almost complete
Category: linwood

24 Linwood has one more brown side. Well, minus the dormer, cornice,
and orange trim. Bye, bye 50 hours, hello brown. It's finally
starting to looking unified.

heheh - (e:libertad), I thought the same!! But the house is so symmetric - there is no porch on the sides. It is the side facing the church! :)

I was looking back at some of your older entries today and you guys have done so much to transform this house.

Why is your car in the front lawn?

It looks so good, big difference.
