WWWhat in the World Wide Web

In case anyone has forgotten about that other site I have, I have news pertaining to it. Thanks to the magic of inter-net, I was finally able to get screen captures from the 90210 episode from 1999—formerly the only sighting I had no evidence of.

This is what I saw this morning:

One hundred thirteen pounds of beef (weight before cooking)!

Remember how excited I was to add geotagging? Hella short-lived, yo!

[...]

NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: I completely rewrote this, 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

Hooray for the weather finally cooperating! I was going nuts not having a chance to try out the new lens.

Dear Freezer of mine:

Thanks for keeping my ice cream all nice and warm last night. I really enjoyed that refreshing cup of fail soup.

Love,
Toothless, Gumless Joe

This is my new bab(b)y. It was $50 cheaper than the Canon equivalent, and got tons of good reviews (as long as you exclude all the hardcore “super-pro” types compaining that it won’t withstand a nuclear blast). Plus, macro mode and free lens hood.

Sodium gods, let thy ramen noodles give me the strength to heft this mighty lens!

O HAI I MADE YOU SOME DELICIOUS TOAST

His hand was made for holding weapons and not delicious toast*, so this didn’t work as well as I was hoping it would.

*Thanks to a co-worker for the miniature delicious toast. (More where that came from!)

(That’s me.)

So. I have this friend, and she has this Pentax DSLR. She also has all these sweet lenses from her old film camera, but couldn’t get the digital camera to accept them. A couple weeks ago I put one of them on (the vintage 50mm that took the following pics), and this time the camera said, “yes sir, how may I help you?”

I told it to take some sweet pics, and also to have a hella trippy depth-of-field on the ones I take from a distance.

The camera said, “OK, but everything else is going to be manual.” *

Today, through the magic of inter-net and reading manuals and randomly mashing buttons, we managed to get her camera to accept all the other lenses, including this enormous beauty.

HUGE ups to Pentax for never changing their lens mount. (It’s ok that Canon changed theirs back in the 80s, since I’m starting from scratch anyway.)

*Much later (still today) I realized I could have just switched it to aperture priority instead of being a klutz on full manual.

And I wondered unto myself, what sorcery is this?

Spoiler alert: it was a blank CD on my desk.

I want to “have holy matrimony” with my 50mm lens.
