Latin graffiti, Brooklyn

2006-05-27T00:28:00.000-04:00

Yes, just like in the Life of Brian, I have now finally seen my first piece of Latin graffiti, on a hoarding on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn. My pig-ignorant translation of "ne relinque quisquilias" is "don't leave rubbish", or, probably more correctly, "No Dumping". I await correction.

First pictures using my new phone

2005-11-08T10:32:00.000-05:00

A two mega-pixel camera in a phone? Yes indeed, this is what you get for a phone that costs serious money. But I love having a decent camera in my pocket all the time. These are a couple of pictures I took when I first got the camera. Many will follow.

I took these in the very first few hours I had the phone: the first at dinner, and the second on the Manhattan Bridge approach, in Chinatown. That night, most of the pictures were, well, crappy, because I had not yet worked out the quirks of the camera. There is an enormous shutter delay, so most of the images came out blurry... however, now they are better. Hopefully you will agree. When I can work it out, I will put some videos up too.

Generic sweetener

2005-08-02T10:29:00.000-04:00

The picture is really bad - but they say "light pink" and "light blue" and they are the generic equivalents of name-brand sweeteners. How horrifying.
