mooflyfoof  posted on her lj so here I am posting on mine.



If you ask I will...



1. Tell you why I friended you.



2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.



3. Tell you something I like about you.



4. Tell you a memory I have of you.



5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.



6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.



7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

Dear Lazy-web,



Please to be checking your favorite stores for the above pants. If anyone knows where to find these pants in a large, please let me know. They're from Shaman Electro-Wear. I ordered a medium from cryo-flesh before they sold out for a second time. Unfortunately the mediumes are too tight to even get a finger in the pocket, let alone a sidekick.



Thanks,

Pants-less Ed

I had to make the decision to send my best friend on her way tonight. For 11 years, Gabby has always been there for me. Plopping down next to me on the bed, wrestling her way into my lap, delivering loving head butts, or waking me up in the morning with sandpaper kisses to the face. She's lived in NC, OH, IL, and CA with me as I moved around. She's been there during and after just about every serious relationship in my life. She waited patiently for me to finish 4 years of college so that she could live with me again. She put up with Annabelle and Bunki and a number of dogs to hang around. She was quite possibly one of the sweetest cats in the world. She gave so much unconditional love, treating me as if I were one of her kittens to watch over and take care of.



This evening after a beautiful sunset, we took her down to the emergency vet since she had been having significant trouble both breathing and moving and figured it was time to help her out and prevent any more discomfort. I thoroughly enjoyed the last decade or so with this cat in my life. She was always there on my bed when I came home from college or plopped at my side when I was depressed. And her last day was also nice as I got to spend 24 hours with her right by my side, all the way up until the end. I will miss the hell out of her, and I doubt I'll ever find another cat like her.





Another good chapter in life closes...

Eye-Fi Wireless SD Card

Originally uploaded by edrabbit.

Finally got a minute to setup my Eye-Fi card. I must say I'm very happy with the finished product so far. I was very very glad to have both the options to upload directly to Flickr as well as to upload to a folder on a local machine. I was stuck with just Flickr support in the past and didn't like how every single blurry photo got uploaded, not allowing me to pick and choose. Now with it uploading to my laptop via wireless, I can sort through them (organized by date even!) and pick which ones warrant the Flickr stream. All in all definitely worth $99 in my opinion.



This could definitely change the way photos are done. Imagine being at a protest or gathering. You snap some pictures of some sensitive stuff, the authorities confiscate your camera and destroy it. What they don't realize is that all the pictures were wirelessly synced to your laptop in the car that has a wireless AP running. I can also imagine this being convenient to photographers, who can upload photos while they're doing a shoot, so they can be reviewed instantaneously. I'm also trying to think of other projects where this could be fun. Mella and I have talked about putting together some portable cameras that this would be fun to work with.



So far there are only two things I wish the card could do. Have another 2 gb of space to match my 4gb (although I may be able to survive with space for 780+ photos/17minutes of video), and have a setting where I could tell it to connect to open networks that don't require a password automatically.
