there's some blue spots in the clouds on the later pictures.

at lunch today I saw some small clouds, and I was all like, "like, that's hella crazy!"

It's almost one in Cali by georgeha (4.00 / 4) #4 Mon Jul 10, 2006 at 03:50:44 PM EST

shouldn't your boss pop his head in your cube and tell you to take the rest of the day off, since the surf is up?

: company lore says in the mid to late 80's by georgeha (4.00 / 2) #6 Mon Jul 10, 2006 at 04:14:18 PM EST

a lot of development on $80s_product was transferred from the West Coast division to the East Coast division, since the East Coasters were more productive.

You live in a Monastery???? by Bob Abooey (4.00 / 1) #7 Mon Jul 10, 2006 at 05:09:59 PM EST

Did you take these with your camera or a phone?

I've thought about doing a photo-diary (yours is very nice by the bye) but all I have is this vintage digital camera that's about as big as a buick and as such I would feel dorky hauling it around and taking pictures of stupid stuff. I really need to get a new camera that fits in my pocket I guess.

Warmest regards,
--Your best pal Bob

...you should have paid a few dollars more for a mobile phone with a camera.

I took these with my Nokia N80 phone camera. Has a fairly crappy lens though, so looks pretty blurry unless you shrink it.

Even if I had purchased a camera phone I would still need to purchase a newer/better camera, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
That said, when I upgrade this phone I'll likely get one with a camera. Course that'll probably be 10 years from now and they won't offer any but camera phones.
Warmest regards,

you could be arrested for taking those pictures.

The MBTA
Anti-photo policy is “insulting and naïve”
Not to give the terrorists any ideas, but if they wanted to blow up, say, the State House, or City Hall, they’d probably take photos to help them plot out the logistics. Somehow, though, it wouldn’t occur to anyone this side of former East Germany to arrest anyone spotted taking pictures of publicly accessible government property. There are certain things you just can’t stop in a free society.
Then there’s the MBTA. Granted, public-transportation systems are unusually vulnerable to attack — consider what happened in Madrid and London. But according to a letter to the T written by John Reinstein, legal director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, and Jonathan Albano, a prominent First Amendment lawyer, amateur photographers have been stopped from taking pictures of vehicles and facilities even when they are in full view of the public.
“The practice is inconsistently employed, does nothing to address surreptitious or long distance photographs of the same sites, and restricts the rights of law-abiding persons,” Albano and Reinstein wrote, arguing that the MBTA is violating both the First Amendment and the state constitution. Currently there is no written policy, leaving T personnel free to make up their own rules. Photographers may also apply for one-month permits, which, of course, the MBTA is free to reject.
This is hardly surprising, given the agency’s long-time problems with freedom of expression. Last year the T was awarded a Dishonorable Mention for insisting that it would continue to ban advertisements urging the decriminalization of marijuana, even after a federal appeals court ruled that the agency had engaged in “viewpoint discrimination.” In September, the T ordered 220 ads promoting Sex and the City reruns removed.
Reinstein and Albano’s blow for freedom was immediately met with resistance. MBTA general manager Daniel Grabauskas called the lawyers’ alleged lack of security concerns “insulting and naive.” Grabauskas ought to get himself over to Flickr.com and search for “MBTA,” where he’ll find more than 1200 images of trains, buses, stations, and the like. In fact, it’s he who’s being naive — not to mention insulting to the public.

Front seat etiquette by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #11 Tue Jul 11, 2006 at 04:59:19 AM EST

I've been known to kick children to the floor to get to the front seat.

It's political correctness gone mad!
