Hydra Spyder
I’m just in shock: I can’t believe this actually exists.

Moving…?
Well, for all you regular visitors, I just want to give you a heads-up. This site may be moving in the near future. I’m not sure yet, but if this site suddenly falls off the face of the web, you’ll know why. I will try to give you more notice, but in the event of the worst-case scenario (i.e. you visit this site and it doesn’t exist), please check http://remixoverdrive.blogspot.com
Thanks for your understanding, and best wishes, as always. =)

Music
Every now and then I have a certain song that pops into my head repeatedly. For the last two mornings in a row, it’s been snippets from the musical “RENT.” I have no idea why.
On a lighter note, I keep thinking there should be a band named “The Burritones.” You know, like Burritos (the food) but Tones like music. Burritones. Has a good ring to it, don’t you think? Sounds like it should be a Spanish language Doo-Wop group or something. I don’t know, just a thought. =)

Teapots in a swamp
Home life has been a little crazy right now. We’re swamped with work, getting organized and trying to eliminate everything we have in storage (and thereby eliminate the storage space). Everything we are not using must go. It calls for some difficult decisions, but once we’re done we’ll enjoy a much better quality of life, so it’s very much worth it.
Although I haven’t been getting out much, I’ve still been shooting photos, so I have a still life for you today. This is a photo of some little teapots from China. Once again, I’ve enjoyed playing with the grungy over-processed look which I find particularly interesting and effective in conveying gritty details.

I Am Daddy
Sarah has been gone for almost a week now, and I am so glad that she’ll be coming home today. While she was away, we each watched the movie “I Am Legend.” Having Sarah away and watching that movie got me thinking about what it would be like to have to raise our daughter by myself. I pray that never happens.
Above is an image I made to commemorate Sarah’s return, based on the DVD cover of the movie. =)

Card Full!
Sarah is away on a business trip, so I took our daughter to the park today so we could get some fresh air and exercise. Aunt Nancy and I walked around the park, after which time I overexerted myself slightly, and Katie bumped her head on the jungle gym, but we all had a great time. To my shock and amazement (I don’t know why I’m amazed… I really shouldn’t be) I ran out of space on my camera’s memory card. Apparently, it had been a couple of days since the last time I downloaded the images, which meant I hit the 2GB limit on the card. Anyway, we got some great photos, and had a blast, so I’m looking forward to going again. Maybe I can build-up my cardiovascular endurance so I won’t feel like I need to throw-up again.

Brain Age
This story about Dr. Kawashima of “Brain Age” fame is pretty amazing.

This guy has some amazing stuff on his website. Photography, a $14 “poor man’s steady cam”, and some Wii Remote Projects that you must see!

Over-processed Grunge Photos
Here is a shot I processed heavily in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). I sometimes like this kind of “over-processed” look, especially for still life. I find it tends to make people look terrible, but I enjoy the enhanced grain and gritty surrealism of heavily processed images.
I know, in the future we will probably look back on this kind of thing and say, “what were we thinking back in the early 2000’s?” But, give it enough time, and it will come back. Just look at bell-bottoms… =)
