Bad Blogger

I'm a little red rooster / too lazy to blog for days

ZAP Newsletter

NOTE: I just updated one of the links in the message, this is actually about a year old.

I've been a very busy busy boy, getting up to speed with two versions of Drupal (5.7 & 6.2) at ZapWorld, and moving to new digs in Santa Rosa. I redid most of the front page at zapworld.com (among many other things), but I just finished the April (May?) newsletter, which allowed me to indulge my more (but not most) creative side. I did pretty much everything in a text editor (for those CSS purists, it should be noted that few, if any, email clients display divs correctly, so I had to do my layout with tables), but I also did the two prominant banners, for the header (pictured below, with a link to the full page) and the Zapino, an electric scooter modeled on the ever-stylish Vespa. For the header banner, I even used one of the photos I took last summer in Glen Ellen (as one or two of my dedicated reader will surely recall...).


Blast from the Past!

This is a picture I took just weeks after I bought my first (real) camera ever:



This picture was taken in apartment 3A of the newly renovated Chauvet Hotel, July 2007. I was using a Samsung S720 digital camera which I bought for around 100 bucks (it's now worth less).

Trying my hand at a little architectural photography. Took several photographs; these are the ones that came out.

I've been working on several projects...

That's why I haven't been blogging much except for silly little frivolous items. Putting some of the final touches on a website for a friend of mine in Glen Ellen, for her Showcase Gallery



where she feature such notables as Linus Maurer (inspiration for the character "Linus" in the late Charles Schultz's widely-celebrated Peanuts cartoon. And she is currently showing an original work by Stanley Mouse, who all you 60's era afficianados will know from numerous psychedelic posters and album covers.

There'll be more, but I gots to gets to bed...

First: I was a Bad Blogger, because I had no idea what I wanted to do when some unsuspecting sucker offered me a free forum for my deranged musings...

Second: Some entirely irresponsible adult offered me a megapixel digital camera for less than I would spend in a day on heroin & Ramen noodles, and I became a Bad Photographer...

Finally: I acquire an utter lack of facility in developing javascript applications, and now I am announcing my latest reinvention of myself in creating...

Bad Virtual Reality!!!

Take a looksee, and see what happens when you allow people like me to have access to computers!



(believe it or not, it was actually much worse until I did a little cropping to remove... well...



something like this (yes, that is a car materializing out of a fold in the space-time continuum(sp?))...)

Rough day...

I got a late start on things, and got practically nothing accomplished. When I got off the bus down the hill from where I live, I spotted my new friend Jeannie hard at work in the













through the front window










and went in to chat. I took a look at some of the new artwork, took a few pictures, and then I was forced to eat tempura shrimp, fresh garden vegetables and rice!

Ah, the Humanity!!!





Finally, they tried to break down my resistance with fine California wine™, but a man's got to draw the LINE...

...and so as to remedy the, perhaps, false impression I gave of my new digs...

...due to the snarky tone of my last posting to the effect, I have uploaded a bunch of new photographs of the town of Glen Ellen, and am providing a view of the environs which more accurately reflects its scenic nature.

This is the view from my groovy new morning coffee spot:



Welcome to the Scenic, Exclusive California Wine Country !

Well, I made my move to Glen Ellen, bought myself a cheap digital camera, and... images are coming in NOW...
