this morning on npr i heard a story about how large international tourism companies charging u.s. prices are completely wiping out the local economy. in the seventies, cancun was a mosquito infested swamp, says the reporter. today, cancun is a city of 400,000 people and sees 2.5 million tourists each year.

fri: night photography

sat: rock climbing, birthday party with bellydancers

sun: filipino food in ssf, picking up boman, dinner with sandy and peter and boman, write cgi/wrapper to translater ascii/ternary (bored), blog post

a server at work crashed hard.

then a user obliterated a crapload of records out of our financials system.

then i got annoyed by my cube being in a different building than the machines i support and went off on a coworker.

then i put my ear to my work cell, not knowing speaker phone was turned on, then went deaf in my right ear when the coworker spoke. almost an hour later, my ear is still ringing.

so much for having fun tonight.

this morning i walked into a starbucks wearing my google tshirt. “good morning, google!” this lady said. “good morning starbucks!”.. the other girls there chuckled. good morning google! good morning starbucks! it went on a few more times. i told them about how i got the google shirt. oh, he’s a tshirt collector, give him one of the meriwest shirts. so one of them went in the back and got a tshirt for me. the credit union is always giving them shirts, one of them told me. i thanked them and was on my way to work with an espresso drink, a cheese danish, and a new tshirt.

saw party monster last night.

it was pretty interesting. it was so weird seeing seth green acting that way..

i need a double reel canister. i developed six rolls of film in four hours tonight.

here’s what it looks like through the viewfinder of my camera.

i love my camera.

i’m thinking about getting a epson 3200 to scan 6×6 negs with. it’s gotten good reviews but doesn’t have a great mechanism for holding onto 120 film. it seems far better than anything else. it holds its own to the real neg scanners that cost as much as automobiles.
