I loved that tome you penned, Savannah. you have sucha gift.

Hey CBC: I sent a PM, just so as not to clog up this thread with camera talk.

Replied. Maybe a little lengthy, but its hard to be short when talking about my passion.
*sinks deeper into chair*
I need more beer.

Thanks, Yggy! I just wanted to make you guys laugh.

Well, you did. And it holds up to re-reading the next day.

Hey all,

Welcome CBC! Congratulations on graduating art school.

I'm pretty rusty, as I wasn't aware of the full frame issue, unless that refers to needing full 16x9 (1920x1080) HD resolution?

Broadway play with horse puppets.

Boy meets horse.

Army buys horses.

Army runs horses into WWI barbed wire over and over and shoots them with machine guns.

You know what you need to cleanse the palate? The Neverending Story.

DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS.

*sigh* I was going to recommend this, but she's probably right...

Once you go Full Frame, you never go back. I see no issue

The thing about state of the art
If you shop very carefully, by the time you get to your car, it will still be an 8 track.

[burner von braun]

indeed Fishy, indeed.
I can't say I'm surprised, Savannah, your intellect has always been obvious.
Laugh? indeed. Think? yes.
a smile is a grand gift, thank you for that.
I just hope you'll share this gift with us, a little more often.

[gyre]

Thank you

I got the local store to stock Malta goya and india.
I find that i like it best served at thirty degrees in the bottle, especially with pizza or spicy food.
Almost frozen.
I wonder if that will work out the same with beer?

*comes in; shakes rain off southwester and trench coat*

Yeehah! It is raining cats dogs and small ponies here. Maybe there is hope for the Playa surface after all? Say, may I have a Snuggler, heavy on the Schnapps?

*looks around, glad to see a couple of brand new smiling faces*

[MyDearFriend]

Good morning!

*starts ECM*

it is raining here too, Elliot, freezing rain supposed to turn to snow later. "Snowquester," they are calling it, since folks are closing stuff down & cancelling meetings here. I will be at my desk for 12 hours as per usual

Where is my

[AntiM]

I really miss my laptop... this phone posting sucks. First world problem.

Waves at everyone, whether they're here or not.

Windy in Utah, means your rain will be rolling in soon. MyLarry is on the way to LA with a load of Hersheys. I had no idea we had a plant in Ogden. He seems to miss his steel.

[International Incident]

Wanders in...
I'm way too drunk to be in a sensible bar like this one

Nighto

Hershey's... *perk* Good coffee, thanks mdf. Weather sounds rotten. I haven't looked out yet. I have an offsite clusterfuck, er. I mean training session for a big project that is woefully unsupported by instructions. We are all going to get together and "figure it out." This means a group of mainly alpha males disregarding instructions tearing open all the boxes and pushing logic over the cliff. I will be wearing a rubberband around my wrist to snap whenever I have any idea that might impede the frenzy. I will watch and learn.

*walks in with no raincoat, soaking wet*

Gosh darn rain

Morning everyone! Got rained on as we watched the Bay Bridge get lit up with Leo Villareal's magical LED light show. Will be on for two years. 25,000 lights whose never ending variety is run off his laptop. Really incredible Huge mob out on the Embarcadero to see it. We were located by the Space Ship. Fun night and the rain seemed to make it even more so.

Before the lighting, my daughter took us on a tour of the new Exploratorium at Pier 15 nearby. It does not open to the public for another month. It is the size of 3 football fields and is really and truly incredible. When you are in the Bay Area, you must see it and spend a day "playing" with all the gadgets, gizmos and exhibits. It brings science theory to life. It really defies description! I'm volunteering to help with the move in on Sunday morning along with a bunch of other Burners and other folks. There will be teams working on this project from 8:30 in the morning till 9:30 that night in about 4 or 5 locations. Huge project! Another great reason to visit the Bay Area, as if you needed another reason!

Now for for some coffee. Carpe Diem

(((LF)))

[ChadBroChill]

Ahh. Lunch time.
Time to make my rounds on the interwebs

I'm very jealous of the light show! Sounds like you had a great time. Gots pics and/or video?!
I wish Philly will get inspired and do something like this.

[magicmarty]

Hey Chad, did not take any photos, but there was a very good shot of it in yesterday's New York Times. You really need to see it in motion as that is the really incredible part of the project. I'm sure that there must be something on the internet about it.

As for the new Exploratorium, I'm told Duane Flatmo will bring El Pulpo Mechanico to opening festivities. (The fire-breathing scrap-metal octopus.)
