I picked up some prints of my photos today.
I love getting prints. They make my photos so much more real to me.
Today I received a package in the mail from a...
It was so special. I feel like I should mail more things to people, because the arrival of an actual, honest-to-god letter in the mail was pretty cool. I’d love to share that feeling with more people.
I should keep track of how many jobs I've applied...
Except that I think know that the resulting number would be depressing.
Daring Fireball: Best Picture →
I’ll put it in writing: the best motion picture released last year was WALL-E. Like 2001 — which WALL-E pays significant homage to — it wasn’t even nominated for best picture. But it effectively couldn’t be nominated — and that’s the real crime. Instead, WALL-E was nominated for and awarded the prize for “best animated film”.
The only talk from this year’s TED that I’ve watched so far. It’s an interesting take on creativity. One that I in many respects agree with. Again something I need to sit down and think some more about, but well worth 18 minutes of your time.
Tumbling will be minimal while I wait for my...
Beer/laptop interaction is bad.

A Question of Content
So, dear reader, what would you prefer I posted?
More original photos like I have been over the last couple of days?
More music that I like and think you may not know about?
More photos from other people that I like?
More of my thoughts on things?
More dramatic ranting about my lack of employment?
I realised that I sort of went in one direction because it was easier. I don’t really...
It costs me AU$0.29/minute to leave you all a...
It better bloody well be worth it. Alternatively, there’s paypal. You can donate money and get more phone posts :P
What the hell, tumblr? Where is my phone post?
I demand answers.
Okay... So I folded and did a phone post.
The international call may send me broke, but well… It was fun. Not sure when it will arrive, but I’m fairly sure I sound like a tool.

eeadeeadsdtmx (Beer and keyboards don't mix)
So I was doing some work for a friend and drinking a beer whilst doing so. He reached across the desk to grab something and the beer ended up on my laptop. Everything seems okay, except that some parts of the keyboard matrix are broken.
Genius bar, here I come.
James and Andrew Want to Shoot You. →
A friend and I are going on a shooting spree. We’re rounding up a bunch of people and going crazy with our Canons (I have a 20D, he has a 40D I believe — those are cameras, just so you know). Anyone in the Sydney area interested in coming down and shooting or getting shot, feel free.
I know, it’s a horrible pun, but that’s just how I feel right now.
