Hey kiddies. Another day another photo down here in sunny GA. I actually got some work done. After 3D class Lauren came over and we made some pasta and then headed off in seperate directions, myself heading to the photolab. From there I preceeded to whip up a half dozen image transfers. Combine them with my emultion lifts and the SX-70 manipulations I did and everything didn’t turn out half bad. All this was for a single Poloroid assignment which was the only thing seperating me from starting my final project. I think I’ll start shooting that this weekend. Print it next week and wrap up everything by next weekend. *Fingers Crossed*
Also, for those of you who don’t know, the new Paul Van Dyk album came out the other day. Rockin! Now I have yet another thing to buy once I get home. Newbury Comics, here I come!
Speaking of music. For you techno lovers… check out tranceaddict.com. It’s a nifty little site which houses full trance and techno music videos (alway a rare thing) and more live mixes than I’ve ever see outside of a file sharring program. Anyway, it’s worth a look.
Ok, sleepy time calls. Later.

SHIT SHIT SHIT! I just missed AMD Extreme tour coming to Atlanta. It takes 4 hours to get there and it’s nearly 2am. The thing starts at 6. Crap. Ok, for those of you who are wondering what the hell I’m talking about… AMD (the computer chip people) are giving away thousand of hardware packages, whole systems, etc at random locations across the US. It’s kind of like a treasure hunt sort to thing. They post the next location on the web site (here) a little bit before the event. Then they give out tickets to whoever is there at 6, then give tons of free stuff to the lucky winners. If you do the math, odds are there would only be a couple hundred or so people there, and from what I’ve heard, they give away around 200 boxes of stuff. Even if there’s 400 people who got up at 6am, thats still a 50% ratio. Thats damn good! Anyway, I was going to drive to Atlanta if it came there ( I figured it wouldn’t come here) but I checked the website to late. Oh well.
Ok, sleepy time calls… caffine wearing off… night night.

Ok, onto newer and less harmful (cause Chris will probably beat me to death) topics. Check this out. It’s an online comic about a guy named Matt. How interesting. Hehe. Actually, if you read through the comics and the back issues, its really good stuff. I’ve been reading it for a day or so and I’m really starting to dig it.
Oh sweet goodness… he’s at it again… he’s finding fonts and downloading them by the hundreds. You simply don’t know what “load time” is until you wait for Matt’s font collection to initilize when you start Photoshop or Corel. Damn! At any rate, for you closet font-o-holics, check this out. Tons and tons of font-ish goodness. Mmmm, tasty.
Speaking of tasty… theres not mention of KMX Blue on the KMX Website… Odd… I wonder is Savannah is the test market for yet another thing. Who knows. Chris… have you seen this stuff yet?

Matts new analogy:
“Ok, what if suddenly Kodak decided to buy Agfa, Fugi and Ilford, thus becoming the worlds largest and most powerful photo product supplier ever. First, good old black and white products would discontinued in favor of more eXPert lines of color products. Then they would divide all their products into consumer and Professional versions, charge twice as much for the pro products and cripple the quality of the consumer products even though they’re still essentially the same. They’d claim that you could get more with the Pro packages but you’d only get the extra chemical features that should have been in the product in the first place. Then, after getting everyone to invest in one set of chemicals and papers, they’d change the formulas and of course none of the old stuff would be compatible. Eventually they’d just destroy the whole line of products anyways and usher in a new line of digital products. Of course they’d keep around the reall really shitty compatition so that the Justice Dept wouldn’t get on their backs. Companies that have interesting products but no chance in the market place. Of course they wouldn’t be compatable with the new chemistry, just to make things harder. Damn, don’t monopolies suck.”
This has been Matt’s Analogy of the Day. Sorry Chris, I’m still miffed about Media Player. And incase no one figured it out… I was talking about good’ol Micro$oft. Later.
