Photo Essay – People in the Shower

Apr 14th, 2010 by Will

Manjari Sharma’s images of people in her shower are really compelling. There’s no exposed bits, so don’t worry about that.

Not the King Lear I Remembered

Apr 6th, 2010 by Will

I went through a phase in college where I read a lot of Shakespeare’s plays. I always thought that Lear was one of my favorites, but I’d never seen it performed. I just watched the ‘71 movie with Paul Scofield, and found the whole thing surprisingly slow and overly arty (to say nothing of overly shouty). Was it the performance? Was I a different person in college (obviously yes, but you know)? Does it read better than it plays? I don’t know. I’m sort of disappointed now.

That Doesn’t Make Any Sense

Dec 26th, 2009 by Will

Upgraded my Wordpress install to the latest, and my theme started throwing errors on every page. I added a comment to the first line of every PHP page, and that fixed it. I don’t know why it fixed it. It shouldn’t have done anything at all, but whatever.

Not Going to Work for CSI – Maybe Radio Shack

Nov 14th, 2009 by Will

My computer suddenly lost its wireless network card. I jostled, rebooted, even fixed permissions. Nothing. So, I cracked it to reseat the card. In the process I dropped one of those teeny, tiny little screws. I peered, brushed, even got a magnet. I found a rock, some bits of wood, some lint, something I couldn’t begin to identify and enough dust to choke a bunny, but the screw remains determinedly missing.

The computer works. I have a network again, but I remain thoroughly unsatisfied.

Not Very Punk Rock

Oct 17th, 2009 by Will

Saw a dude at Supercuts getting a mohawk. Now, if you want a mohawk, that’s fine, and Supercuts is OK (though they feel overpriced to me these days). But a mohawk at Supercuts?! I can’t make those things fit together in my brain.

Soapbox Derby

Sep 26th, 2009 by Will

I headed downtown to check out the soapbox derby. It was CRAZY crowded. I heard one estimate of 100,000 people, and I’d bet good money that about 90 percent of them were all within about 1 square foot of where I was. There were plenty of crazy cars and costumes to make pictures of.
