Raster 4, originally uploaded by dumbeast.
CHDK is this thing you can do to install a new operating system in a Canon camera. I have only the vaguest of notions about what that means or what it can do, or how it works. I'm just beginning to learn about it. But it ostensibly gives you much more control over your camera and stuff.

Oh, shit! I'll bet there's a flickr group about it. I'mma look that up right away you bet.

This is a very short exposure photograph of the television screen with a row or two of scan showing.

Pork addiction is a medical condition, not a weakness of will or moral shortcoming. Let Dr Shmuel &/or Dr Akbar help.

SSI Meeting Notes


SSI Meeting Notes, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

Sonia's gonna continue with that lunch. She winds up sending the letter with the client. If we just train them a little bit. The little tiny things. That's always going to be a problem. Would be helpful in another form. Sarah proposes a note about doctors. Send it to HAPSSI for the time being at least. Um. Like blue dolphin. That is kind of getting junky too, people. Everybody knows what they are, right? Go to 35. That's the next one. That one's going to be stabilization. HOT Team stabilization bed. Nice. Yeah, and that'll be....The whole office would collapse. Okie dokie.
