[Photography] 2356 Days 

I ran across this a few weeks ago and never got around to posting about it. I must say, I was really intrigued. As a photographer, I am inspired by the dedication to his project. This project ran from Jan 11, 2000 to July 31, 2006. He’s only missed about 22 days, and none in the last 3 years.

Noah takes a Photo of himself everyday for 6 years


Here’s a great quote:

Are you still doing it? Yes! The video that I posted is Part 1 of this work in progress. It shows the dates Junuary 11th 2000 - July 31st, 2006. I have taken a photograph every day since I made the video and I will take a photo today, and tomorrow and until the day I die. I plan to release another video on the 10 year anniversary and then a new video every 10 years after that until we reach the final conclusion.

I think I’ll have to check back in on this from time to time.. every couple of years mind you… every day is kinda worthless…:)

[Geek] Hi Didalee Ho, Neighborino… 

From CNet News:

Viewers who take pleasure in the antics of Bart and Homer Simpson will be treated to an exclusive online look at the season-premiere episode of “The Simpsons” beginning Friday, two days before its network debut on Fox Broadcasting. The first seven minutes will be streamed on a bevy of sites owned by the network’s News Corp. parent, including MySpace.com, Fox.com and igntv.com. [snip]

[Family] We’re leaving on a jet plane.. 

So we’re all heading out to Las Vegas tonight.. I’ll be back Monday night.

My mom is getting remarried.

My folks got divorced when I was in college, and when my mom told me she was getting remarried, I told her the same thing I told her back then – ‘Whatever makes you happy’. That’s not to say I wasn’t surprised. She’s only been dating her fiance about a year and a half, but she really feels right with him. My mom has enough experience with the world (rather than calling her old), and has already made enough mistakes, that I really have to believe that she knows what she is doing.

That’s Saturday. Sunday, my nephew Nicholas is having his 2nd birthday, and his little brother, Anthony is having his Christening. My sister, Erica, decided to try and have the party the day after the wedding so that those of us flying out there would be around for both. She and my mom had a discussion about it, and my mom was fine with the plan. Since it’s not her first wedding, and she’s keeping it really low key anyway, she didn’t feel that it infringed on her ‘special day’ at all.

In February, when we flew to Florida, the kids were still basically lumps and slept the whole time. Tonight will be a different story. Both are squirming little zombie grubs, and I hope that they will drink a bottle and take a nap, and make our flight painless…. *crosses fingers* *hopes for the best*
