Digital Sucks


The site looks like it is no longer being updated, if you click on the little camera you go to the main page that proclaims that ‘DIGITAL SUCKS IS DEAD’. Never the less, you can still browse the galleries and other pages.
What was ‘Digital Sucks’? As the title states: “Holga Camera Photography, Diana Camera Photography, Plastic Camera Photography, Pinhole Camera Photography, and Toy Camera Photography”
It was a site rich in experimental photography and photographic arts. I know the joy of the chemical process , it is a fascinating art that I hope to one day get back into.

Shower With a Friend (Its Your Civic Duty Citizen!)

album09/dscn7499_engrish
Today here in Phoenix the water system is having ‘problems’. Run off from the recent storms has caused a larger than normal amount of silt and junk to enter the city water system (from where I don’t know, up north maybe?).Citizens of Phoenix have been warned not to drink it any tap water and to use what is there sparingly so the supply is not stressed. I saw more bottled water being bought at Costco today than I have ever seen before.
The advisory is scheduled to be lifted tomorrow at noon, so until then boil the water (a rolling boil for a full five minuets by the way) and remember to shower with a friend.

PHP, Fun for the Whole Family!

I have been reading a book on PHP in a hope of unlocking the secrets to slick web site creation (yeah, right!). So far I’m reading “PHP in Easy Steps” by Mike McGrath. I picked it up at Bookstar for $4 so the price was right. 😛
My site uses PHP that is linked to a MySQL database for the blog and the gallery so i want to know how it works. So far I have been getting by with using pre-made code for things but I want to do more.
I found a few links:

Immigration

Yesterday my wife (who is a native of Thailand) received her travel papers. For those of you who don’t know, the Department of Homeland Security will allow her to exit the country and (here’s the important part) re-enter but only with the document. This is like the second part of the immigration process. She received her work card a few weeks ago. Next up is the interview with INS…
I’m so proud of Tum for doing this, I would like everyone to know that even if we have our differences some times 🙂 I am happy when I’m with her and can only see happiness in our future.

The Future of Titan Exploration

Could rovers be sent to Titan in the near future? Maybe… With an active weather cycle made up of methane and a surface temperature around -290 F this would be a prime location to send more probes. The story talks about using a balloon with a science package attached to it, an option that may ultimately prove to be more feasible, along with rovers for future exploration of what has prove to be a very fascinating moon.
