Fun with the new camera phone
Yeah, totally digging the new cell phone with cheapy built in camera. It's really coming in handy for capturing for eternity all kinds of useless things. The best use so far is catching the dogs doing all sorts of stuff and generally being happy / sleepy:
...or lounging:
Also this weekend I took a load of books from my old office up to my new one. Got the key last week for the IARC office. Here it is before I've left much of a mark:
The new office common area is pretty funny. It's got this mug rack in it which is pretty much like any other:
Except for that darn sign. Here's a closer look. Cracked me up. Such a great time to try out the new camera part..
Yeah, so that's all good positive uses for the camera. Others are more worthless. Like this, the first spider of the year I saw Thursday morning when I was walking to work. It was moving verrrry slowly in the cold morning. I couldn't believe it'd woken up so early since there's still a ton of snow on the ground but I guess don't really know how to think like a spider:
And of course then there are the moments that should be relegated to the dustbins of history like this one. A prime example of bad ideas going farther and farther awry. So, Torsten's moving to Juneau Monday and spent the day packing up / giving stuff to Johnson and I to take to the transfer station. One item for the give to someone else pile was this motorcycle helmet. Well, after wearing it as a hat... trying to crack bottles over it (while wearing it as a helmet)... there was a suggestion to put it on a piker pole like back in England during the dark ages. What a horrible idea. Yeah, so of course it had to be done. Torsten filled a garbage bag with straw and then taped it into a ball with masking tape and after jamming it into the helmet a mouth and nose were taped on and detail was added with a marker. The inglorious result:
Yeah, to top it off... when you're packing you have plenty of cardboard. So, the world got just a bit sadder:
Given this first week with the camera phone who knows how much further downhill I'll slide in the second week but I'll definitely keep you posted.

Um yeah... that definitely breaks the shooting at stuff that looks like people rule.
Looking at it today, there's a weird similarity to those far side cartoon kids. And of course another great example of the dangers of taking things just a bit to far.
