Ragin’ full on

I just realized this pics I’m uploading are kind of huge in the file-size dept. I’ll try to keep the full-size ones under 200K. I am also constantly having problems with Wordpress’s flash uploader, all with the firefox crashing and the rage and such.

In good news, I can (sort of) geotag now. It only took about six hours of bashing my head on the keyboard.

NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: I completely rewrote the geotagging stuff, to account for new developments in the realm of me-being-less-stupid.

Go here for that stuff, now and forever: Geotagging, for real this time

Clouds

One advantage of working late, maybe? I saw that up above when I finally left. By the time I got home it was considerably uglier, and for once the black cloud hanging over me wasn’t just in my Mind…

Please, Google, let this not exist yet

I had one of those—what do you call them—ideas last night. Say you’re with your sweetheart and you want to snack, but all the snack-sized packaging is optimized for one person. Enter Relation-chips™, the snack for two! OK, and there’s more: the bag could be heart shaped, with an opening on each side, so you could both reach for delicious snacks at the same time. (And maybe hold greasy hands in the bag? Sure!)

So I did some googling, and all that turned up was some techno CDs and a bunch of lovelorn people who can’t spell. This could be my gravy train…. if only people were totally stupid and utterly susceptible to cheesy gimmicks… IF ONLY!

Note to self: Consider offering gravy flavored Relation-chips™?

Another note, but to everyone: if you’re looking for some “random” food item to consider “funny” in an “ironic” way, then you suck and I hate you. Also, gravy is much a much “funnier” food item (and word) than bacon. Really!

I was working this out in my Mind the whole walk home. Tonight I walked home at 126 beats per minute. The whole process was made infinitely easier thanks to nin.com’s remix section, which is a cool idea.
