Happy birthday, Bladerunner! Just turned 25!

It used to be my favorite movie, and it still rates highly with me. I've just been disappointed that Scott has taken freaken' FOREVER to come out with a decent DVD set! That, conveniently, is just over the horizon now. It's hideously expensive, but not too far away.

Oddly, as much as I liked it, I never bought it on DVD or Laserdisc.

I love this photography community!

http://www.livejournal.com/users/ru_infrared/ Infrared photography from Russia. Simply amazing. I really want to do this, but the best way is to convert a DSLR by having the IR bypass removed, turning it into an IR-only camera. That might be viable in a couple of years. You can shoot with an unmodified digital camera with a $50 filter and get good results, unfortunately my main lens is kinda old and doesn't have a good lens coating for IR work: I get a bright spot in the center of my lens.

One of these days.

Heh! Livejournal has humorous 404 pages!

This page is not here
like plum blossoms in the wind
existence is fake

To see if they had a haiku generator, I refreshed the page, and got something like a Star Trek dialog!

Go to www.livejournal.com/update and see what happens!

I just got this great take on All Your Base:

Narrator: In A.D. 2006, Web was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the journal.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main browser turn on.
Captain: It's you !!
CATS: How are you users !!
CATS: All your base are belong to Frank.
CATS: You are on the way to 404.
Captain: What you say !!
CATS: You have no chance to reach your page. Make your spelling correct.
CATS: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....

A strange little piece of movie/music trivia

Name an actress who had two songs made for her -- by Toto and Peter Gabriel!

I just finished watching Silverado. What a great western! We need more westerns! I really ought to rent 3:10 To Yuma some time soon.
