So as I troubleshoot with MWS at 530 in the morning, let me update a tiny bit because I’ve started slipping again in terms of updating Clapboard.
I’ve been to Philly and NYC since my last update.

So this thing was a bitch because there were a couple of corrupted frames (like 30) at about a minute and a half in.
Here’s a brief update to say that I’ve been cleaning things out and tossing things away over the last few days and this morning while waiting on a video to render, I found a minicassette recorder that I took with me on my first lonely cross-country drive.
Taking the rear seat brackets off your ’97 TJ ain’t for the faint-of-heart or, apparently, the weak-of-socket-set.
Just for the record…
the first NYE in years where, well, whatever.
I’m not sure what category this fits into, but since the Dead Sea Scrolls are writing, this is where they go.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are online.
Coming under the heading of “It’s About Time,” the Israel Antiquities Authority has (with the help of Google) put up a great website with excellent photos of the scrolls, organized in intuitive ways.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it?s written)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and
streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
(more)
…and you’re completely invisible to Picasa.
It’s uncanny.
You probably have heard about my current obsession with face tagging on Picasa, and to that end, I’ve been going through all my old folders (yes, all of them), so if you’re in my pictures, there’s a good chance I’ve face tagged you.
Love it.
I put up some pics of the awesome antique stove/range that’s been infesting the storage space because it’s time to sell that fucker and make space in there for useful things like weight benches and punching bags.
I’ve been recovering from the collapse of my biggest, most important and, honestly, cherished accounts – MWS has, after a decade of ups and downs, moved on without me as their IT lead.

And the other thing is a silly little trifle, but I kind of like it.
Where we were headed
So Mt. Whitney wasn’t a vacation, per se, but I don”t have an “Outdoor Torture” category, so for lack of a better place to put it, some notes on my hike go here.
I’m not sure where to start, really.
campsite by the river
We arrived Monday at around midday for our Wednesday hike (Drew had somehow gotten tickets for Papa’s birthday on the 25th, which is supposed to be impossible, given that they issue ~150 passes/day for the mountain, which always sell out almost immediately) and got a great campsite.
Nothing else to say, really.
it’s another season, and another game looms before us.
Okay, so Google has a lot of services and I’m using Google for a lot of my domains.
