A photo of a toddler in a pram, in the middle of eating a chocolate biscuit. She's holding the biscuit out to me, and the chocolate has been smeared EVERYWHERE.

Popped in for a Lily visit today. She was in the middle of her first chocolate biscuit when I arrived.

We’ve got our MacBook Air in at work, it's VERY impressive!

A quite zoomed-in photo of Dan Abnett's omnibus "The Saint".

A photo taken out a window looking across the street. There's lots of trees everywhere.

A very zoomed-in version of the previous photo, showing a TV antenna that was barely visible before.

kungfupolarbear and I were talking about what camera she was thinking of getting (Canon PowerShot S3IS), I saw the review and it can take video at 640×480 and 30fps. I was thinking of putting the $250 of gift vouchers I got for Christmas for JB Hi-fi towards a video camera for taking decent videos of Lily, but then decided to go down to the Mall and see if they had the S3. They didn’t, but apparently that camera is about three or four years old now, and they had the S5IS instead. With the gift vouchers (and $50 off the RRP because the last model they had was the one on display) I got that plus a 4GB SD card for $406. 😀😀

I’m now busy taking photos of EVERYTHING.

The first one doesn’t look that impressive, but it’s zoomed all the way in and I was sitting in my computer chair in the opposite corner of the room. And with no tripod or anything, it was just me holding it! The second two were taken from my room, looking out the window. The camera didn’t move for the second shot, it’s just zoomed all the way in (12x).

A photo looking up at a ferris wheel in a blue sky with white clouds. The artist name is "A Date With The Health Inspector" and the album name is "Four a.m. That Matter".

A nighttime photo of an outdoor jail corridor, harshly lit with green-tinged light. The artist name is "mathematical structure" and the album name is "staving makes it fat".

Stolen from upandatthem.

Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php. The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
Go to Flickr’s "Explore the last seven days": https://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Put it all together, that's your first album.

My first one is rather random, the second is quite cool. 😀

A long exposure photo looking out towards a partially-visible door. The room is dark and there's very warm light coming in from the door.

A long exposure photo looking out towards a partially-closed door, taken with the camera sitting on the floor. The room is dark and there's very warm light coming in from the doorway, and there's something indistinct lying on the floor next to the door. A t-shirt, perhaps?

I’ve been mucking around with long shutter times on my camera again, this time I’ve edited them (all but the fourth one, anyway) a bit in iPhoto... I think they turned out nicely!

A very under-exposed nighttime photo of the lattice on the front of a balcony, looking out at the night.

A long-exposure nighttime photo looking out at the street in front of a house. The left side is lit by a street light, and in the distance over the trees there's lights visible from distant buildings.

The same long-exposure vantage point from the previous photo except with the streak of a car's headlights going past.

A long-exposure nighttime photo looking up over houses and trees at clouds that are being lit up from lightning strikes.

A long-exposure nighttime photo looking at the street corner again, with distant lights visible over the trees at the left, and the clouds at the right being lit up from lightning.

We’ve got a thunderstorm going outside, I decided to tool around with long exposures on my camera. Some fairly impressive results, I think!

A photo of a black electric guitar with white scratch plate sitting on a guitar stand, next to a teensy little amp.

A closeup of a black electric guitar with white scratch plate sitting on a guitar stand, it has a wooden head and a strap attached.

A closeup of a black electric amp sitting on the floor.

We went down to the Mall today to get Guitar Hero 3 for the Xbox 360, then thought, wait a sec... So I ended up with this instead!

It’s a Fender starter kit thing. Comes with guitar, practice amp, cables, strap, electronic tuner, guitar stand and case, and a Getting Started DVD.

I figured instead of spending $140 on a video game of guitar playing, I’d spend a bit more and learn to play the real thing! This whole package was only $400. (Although the DVD is actually excerpts from the full DVD, which I also bought).

A photo of the back of my neck showing a fresh tattoo of the outline of a wolf with its head raised howling, it's set inside the outline of the moon.

So, I had a fun day today! 😀

A screenshot of an iPod touch home screen, but instead of the standard black background, it has the nebula image from Mac OS X.

So, I’m mucking around with jailbreaking my iPod touch. I’ve installed SummerBoard and am currently fiddling with themes. The Dock.png file is 91px high for the pre-installed themes, but only the top of the file seemed to be showing. After a bunch of mucking around, it turns out the touch only displays the top 40px of Dock.png files. Just FYI for anyone else who’s wondering what the hell was happening! Pretty slick, eh?
