Work.
I'm going back to work at camp. It's going to be a blast, and a whole lot of work. Here's a countdown until I get back on August 15th:
I'll try to put up mini-posts on my days off. Also, check my twitter stream on this page.
*Update*
I'd love it if my readers could do what they did last year. Use the comments section as a Twitter feed every day. Let me know what you ate for breakfast. Or anything. It'll be a lot of fun to read them when I get back!
First comment, yayz!
ReplyDeleteLet's see if we can get to 1,000 before you get back.
ReplyDelete0.0
Yes, do that! I'm leaving now. Bye!
DeleteBYE SETH!
DeleteOh, wait you'll be at church on Sunday...
By the way, I had granola for breakfast, in case you were wondering.^.^
Last night I watched some of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
ReplyDeleteFor breakfast I ate some leftover granola (homemade), Honey Nut Cheerios, and this other stuff that I don't remember the name of. >.<
Me only commenting is getting boring. :[___]
iOS 7 came out.
ReplyDeleteNot compatible with 3GS >.<
I think I'll get an Android, well not now but when my iPhone dies.
This morning I ate a pitiful amount of granola followed by this amazing cereal made by "Mom's Best Natural Foods", the name of which I cannot remember. The box of the cereal has a nauseating array of information on the manufacturer's "Green initiatives" and how it uses oh so much electricity from wind farms and that it is equivalent to taking just so many cars off of the road. Blgrk.
ReplyDeleteWhile younger siblings were at swim lessons, I supervised even younger siblings at a nearby playground. Elisabeth went halfway down a slide and then became terrified and didn't want to go further. After a great deal of convincing she went the rest of the way and promptly exclaimed: "I like this!".
Since I've learned the distinguishing properties of Helvetica, I've realized that it's everywhere. Astonishing, really.
This afternoon I biked to HPL where I manned the junior reading program desk for an hour and ten minutes. In dull moments I cleaned books. You don't realize how filthy-dirty they are until you look at the paper towel you were using and notice how black it is. Ugh. I hope they clean books often. I saw Rebecca Cullum, she stated that she "didn't know I was volunteering". Why do people say things like that? The only fitting response is "well, now you know". Biking back home I realized that it's more uphill going back. But is it? It did seem like there were more ups than downs, but it might be that I'm a wimp who has no muscle.
WWDC is a huge disappointment so far. Everything is just whoop-de-doo. The Macbook Air is same-old, same-old, OSX is SAMEASBEFORE, and iOS, although it looks much better, nothing has really changed. The only possibly interesting thing is the new Mac Pro. The problem is that it looks like a black ceramic trash can. How can anyone take it seriously? "Hey man, really sorry, but when I had to rid of my gum I thought that was where it was supposed to go. Didn't realize it was a computer!"
Phblt. :|
I think I know which cereal you are talking about, and yeah, the whole "green energy" thing is annoying. When I volunteered at HPL a few years back, they didn't make us clean books. We got to sit and read books.
DeleteI don't like biking. I prefer driving my van. Much less work.
0.o
DeleteJust looked at the Mac Pro, and yeah it looks like a trash can.
Talk about expandability! Just look at all of those extra pci slots!
That thing is hilariously tiny.
The trash can in my room is only a little smaller than the Mac Pro!
Trash can, that's exactly what I thought when I saw it. :D
DeleteI tried using HTML "tags" to denote sarcasm in the second paragraph about the Mac Pro. Didn't work, though.
DeleteHey Seth, I got a usb-powered microcontroller recently, and it's really cool. I can program it in C or C++ to control outputs and inputs. I have a kit to build an interface that allows me to switch AC power. (Think computer-controlled christmas lights)
ReplyDeleteOn another note, Adobe recently announced that they were no longer going to make their CS# products. They are migrating fully to the Creative Cloud subscription service. That means that if someone wants something newer than CS6, they have to rent it for something like $50/month. You have to buy 12 months worth to start out. That makes it impractical and financially not worth it for me. Me = :`(
Anyhoo, have a great time at camp!
How did the film planing of "Blades of Honor" with Jacob this afternoon go?
DeleteGood, we are one step closer to being ready to film in July!
DeleteStarting this Friday afternoon and ending next Friday Benjamin and I will be house sitting our grandparents 62 acre, and 8,000 some (I think) square foot house. Our grandfather also has almost an acre garden, that we'll be weeding. And my grandmother has a nice zero-turn lawnmower, that we'll be mowing with (YUSS!).
ReplyDeleteSo that will keep us busy! :D
Also on Friday we'll be starting Stephen Pickering's film-making class at the library.
I am going to try to go to Stephen's workshop, too.
DeleteWe just got home, and it's raining cats and dogs!
ReplyDeleteLet's try for 150 comments, it's more manageable than 1,000.
ReplyDelete16 down, 134 to go!
Keep it up!
Your not looking at the big picture here, Josh.
Delete18 down, 982 more to go.
Whoops, I meant you're not your.
Delete^.^
You really think 1,000 is possible?
DeleteWould that overload the blogspot servers or something?
What about all those people with dial-up internet! The page would take days to load!
Well, frankly no I don't think it's going to happen. It's POSSIBLE if we really put our selfs to it.
DeleteAnyway, who uses dial-up still? And if there are people who still use it, they don't look at this site.
touche`
DeleteHave any of you ever wanted to learn how to speak dial-up modem?
ReplyDeletebe-be-be-boo-be-boo-beep-----errrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeerrr-er-er-er-errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
No, I hadn't before, but now I do.
DeleteIt tires me out to give complete accounts of my day so I'll just say this: Crispix for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteAlso, muffins yesterday.
Also, there was a film class at HPL yesterday I went to.
How was it?
DeleteTo answer your question:
DeleteIt was good! Stephen talked about the 3 act story structure, and used Toy Story as a example. Benjamin and I were like the only people there that had not watched it, so we just took his word for it. >.<
We also watched this AMAZING short, (well I think so) called "The Black Hole," I thought it was very well done.
Yeah, he showed that one in the 16-week course I took with him.
DeleteTHat one was very funny!
*That
DeleteHe also had us watch this short where this guy is riding through London (or someplace like london) on a motorcycle and someone is trying to steal food from him.
DeleteIt was animated.
Jacob said that he watched it when he took the 16-week course.
Yeah, that was France, actually. I liked that too.
Delete60 days until Seth comes back!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!!!
DeleteThat's a loooong time...
:D
Here's a link to "The Black Hole"

ReplyDelete38...Ok, I'll stop now.
ReplyDeleteWent to a friend's grad party today. We were throwing knives into a cardboard box. We found a spoon and tried throwing that. I got it stuck into the box 6 times! No one else got more than 2. Me == HAPPY!
ReplyDeletePlayed darts and discovered that I am horrible. XP
Darts in the walls, I broke like 5 tips (they were cheap plastic) and missed the board about 30% of the time. Got one real bullseye, though.
I decided yesterday that if I had to go into the military, I would pick the Navy. I like ships and submarines more than helicopters and humvees.
Anyway, I have to go help put the cover on our pool. (it's up to 73 degrees now)
I'll try to post a review of the movie Life of Pi later.
A note about the spoon:
DeleteI stayed outside throwing the spoon when everyone else went in.
If that made no sense, I recommend reading the comment above.
Oh, we have a dart board were the tips are metal and the board is like VERY compact paper, it works a lot better than those cheap plastic ones.
DeleteNow I think I'll be more willing to go in your pool, but it wasn't bad once you got numb enough. :D
It's great now!
DeleteTalking to myself is getting boring.
ReplyDeleteIf we keep up 40 comments a week we'll get over 300 by the time Seth gets back.

I like the owl. Thanks for the comments everyone!

Hi.
Delete/Even More Awkward Wave
I had blueberry muffins for breakfast. :D <3
ReplyDeleteI also watched The Princess Bride again a couple days ago. That movie is excellent. Seth, I'm looking at you. I've also read the book, The Princess Bride. It might be the closest parallel between a book and its film adaption that I've ever seen. Might have something to do with that the book's author also wrote the screenplay. But the book is really good too. It also has a very interesting plot device (in addition to the grandfather telling the story) which makes reading the book quite worthwhile, if only to see it in action.
Fine, I'll watch it...
DeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteTHERE'S FIFTY COMMENTS!
ReplyDeleteYIPPEEEE!
I just ate an English Muffin.
ReplyDeleteFor dinner last night we had frozen pizza.
We get the red carpet treatment house sitting at my grandparents.
If you've been reading my comments you know that Benjamin and I have been house sitting at our grandparents house.
ReplyDeleteSo this evening I was going to make tacos for dinner. After a half an hour search for all the spices I needed, (my grandfather cooks a lot and has bazillions of spices) I mixed them all together and then I was going to put the beef on the stove. But then I realized that I HADN'T EVEN TAKEN IT OUT OF THE FREEZER!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I think I might survive.
I have a fun story about tacos!
DeleteI accidentally made about 2 cups of taco seasoning once. The recipe was for a large batch, and I one-and-one-half-ed it. It took something like 3/4 cup chili powder.
Anyway, we still have some in the cupboard(I think).
I have an idea for a game we could play using the comment box. It isn't a big time commitment, and it will generate lots of comments. I'll post directions if people are interested in playing.
ReplyDeleteAnyone up for it?
I'm in.

DeleteYou already said that. >_<
DeleteThis game is dying.
DeleteSorry, I have a one-track mind.
DeleteYeah, the game is dead now.
:(
This game is officially DEAD.
DeleteYou people have wayyyy too much time on your hands, goodness.
ReplyDeleteIt's summer, we have nothing better to do.
DeleteOr work, or do school (so you can graduate early like me;) ), Or read a book, or go for a run, or swim, OR write on Seth's blog all day. Hmm.
DeleteIsaiah, I've been doing EVERY ONE of those things that you just mentioned, and I've had plenty of time to comment on Seth's blog.
DeleteLet's see, what have I done today?
-Went for a run (a mile or so).
-I've read for around an hour.
-I've weeded for over three hours.
Oh, and I studied for my final science test.
How's that?
Oh, Isaiah are you going to play the game?
DeleteWell, I can't say this proves anything, but Isaiah, you seem to have somehow found a niche in your hectic schedule of working, schooling, reading, running, swimming, and going to concerts to post two comments here...
DeleteAlso, I believe this quote from your most recent blog post is rather pertinent to the topic at hand: "Im front to most concerts because I have no problem blowing 4 hours, waiting in line...."
Ah.
Of course.
But that's...different.
My apologies, I have a feeling you won't appreciate that, but the chance for a good zinger is hard to resist.
Oh, and speaking of reading, the book I've been engrossed in recently is Basic Economics, by Thomas Sowell. Excellent, excellent book. It is six hundred some pages long (you could refer to it as an authoritative tome), but unlike most such books it is neither dry, nor boring. The writing is fantastic, and Sowell presents basic economic principles (and how they manifest themselves in various economic systems) in easy to understand language and using a wide variety of examples from the real world. It really ought to be required reading in any high-school education. It is also a something of a manifesto on the benefits of the free-market - although it is not explicitly a book about the advantages of free-market economies, the evidence, logic, and explanations of the economic principles of prices, profits and losses, incentives, wages, etc. make it clear which system is vastly preferable.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good, I'm going to put it in my extemp box next speech season.
Rain.
ReplyDeleteBlurgh.
I had to reschedule a test 'cause the rain was so bad. I didn't feel like driving to Whitewater in the pouring rain.
My dog is hiding in the basement. She hates storms, and she can feel them coming.
Apparently Jacob took his final drivers test this morning. >.<
DeleteWe finished house sitting our grandparents house today. I worked a total of 20 hours (yayz more money!).
ReplyDelete55 days until Seth comes back.
ReplyDeleteAnd the 86th comment.
88 comments!
ReplyDeleteHoney Nut Cheerios for breakfast. I am going location scouting today with Jacob for our next film!
ReplyDeleteIt's called Blades of Honor.
The script it 22 pages long!
22?!
DeleteThis sounds like some serious business.
Blades of Honor sounds like the name of a period film, is it?
Also sounds expensive.
Yeah, it's a fanta-sci film set in the days of King Arthur.
DeleteOh boy.
DeleteHow much you wanna bet that you wont ever finish it?
Delete$20.00
DeleteJK
We will finish it, though.
If I was a betting man...$50, but since I'm not a betting man, $0.
DeleteAre you going to shoot it all on one day? Have you decided who's acting?
In one day?
DeleteHave you seen their script?
They seem to be well on their way to actually finishing it. Having a real script is a tremendous step forward.
Not all in one day!!!
DeleteYeah, we have our actors and crew now.
Just asking. :P
DeleteApparently I wasn't chosen for acting. *shrugs* (by the way, I think that using expressions when commenting like *shrugs* or *nods*, is over used [mainly by Jacob]. BUT in this case I think it's appropriate).
Who is acting? Could you name a few people?
I shouldn't have use parentheses. I needed to start a whole new sentence.
DeleteKenny and Kyle Hillman, my sisters, and most of the siblings of my friend Penny Kearney. (she's our screenwriter)
DeleteWe may need extras, and if that happens then I will definitely call you.
I had generic Honey-Nut Cheerios for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThey got soggy really fast. Now usually I like my cereal to be a bit on the wet side, but this was too much. Ugh.
I got poison ivy.
ReplyDeleteGRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
I read that it takes anywhere from one to three weeks for it to go away.
>_<
Ohhh, that sounds horrible.
Delete:(
Bah humbug.
ReplyDeleteI biked to HPL again today. Did it yesterday too. To volunteer. I saw Josh there, actually. I am beginning to feel pretty confident that it is more up-hill on the way back than it is on the way there. I should be turning in my last card for the teen reading program on Friday. Yay, I hate timing my reading. Thing is, the book selection for the free book you get at the end is terrible. Horrible. Awful. Etc.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the prizes this year are exceptionally lame. (except for The Hobbit movie) I hate doing all of the activities. I have enough time to be done, but I need to do the activities. GRRR!
DeleteThis.
DeleteThe amount of comments that are coming in, is minimal.

ReplyDeleteWe had to bike to it. Phbpt.
We went to FreedomFest for a bit today. Might (probably will) go back later on. I bought deep-fried Oreos. They were a rip-off, of course. Not bad though. I've heard that at some fairs they serve deep-fried butter. A friend of mine has had it (deep-fried butter, I mean), says it changed her life. Never specified how, my guess is that it will change her life by by making her have a heart attack at 45 rather than 50.
ReplyDeleteNEED MORE COMMENTS
ReplyDeleteI was told by family members (who saw Seth at the Library) that Seth has the week off. It's not going to change my life in the least. I probably won't even see him, well maybe on Sunday if he's at church. But just so I can add another comment, and write more words, I decided to say that.
This is my 65th comment.
ReplyDeleteJosh has commented 50 times.
Benjamin has commented only 20 times.
Seth has commented 8 times.
Isaiah has commented 2 times.
You all really needed to know that.
We neeeeeed to get other people on here besides you and me, Nathanael.
Delete9 times.
DeleteFilmed the Koinonia Singers last night. Now I need to edit the 2 hour show. We had 4 cameras running for a grand total of 16 hours of footage, give or take.
ReplyDelete16 hours, srsly?
DeleteAnd I don't think it was 2 hours, it was more like one and a half hours (or less).
ok, wow, my math was WRONG!!!!
Delete0.o how did I mess that one up.
6 hours, give or take.

ReplyDeletetehe
I'm sorry, nothing particularly interesting has happened to me recently.
Well, I'm 2/3rds done with my roll of Provia 400X. Twelve exposures left. Then I send my roll of long expired Superia 400, Fomapan 100, Provia 400X and Jacob's Velvia 50 off to NCPS for developing, mounting and scanning. Thrilling, really.
I just noticed how not only does my block of "SPAM" read "SPAM" horizontally, it also reads "SPAM" vertically. So cool. :|
ReplyDeletehmm, yay /sarcasm
DeleteSeth, I saw your mother and brother at the Library today.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I'm running in a mile race that they have in Milton every year on the 4th of July. My mile is 7 minutes 33 seconds.
I know, I'm slow at running. >_< Maybe I'll magically improve by tomorrow.
My dad used to be able to run 6 miles and each of his miles were 6 and a half minutes.
I'll have to improve a lot if I wan't to get anywhere close to that. :p
I was at the library today too. How did I miss you? Also your mile is faster than mine.
DeleteI saw them right at the check out when you walk in. I also saw Kirsten Meyer with them.
DeleteBy the way, there's 161 comments!
ReplyDeleteWell my mile was 7:07.
ReplyDeleteI was in the Milton Village Squares float for the Milton parade. The only other members of the new crowd there were Andy and Niki.
What a stirring turnout.
Phbbt.
I'm in Michigan right now, or else I would have been there.
DeleteSorry.
This spring I could run a 65 second quarter-mile. I don't think I ever timed my mile, but it is something like 6 or 7 minutes. I probably could do better if I trained for it.
Well my mile was 7.06 (7.03 according to my watch), beat him by a second. >:D I was training, he wasn't.
DeleteJoshua Cullum ran it in 6 minutes (5.57 according to his watch), and got 5th in his age category.
I tried firing my potato cannon last night, but it turns out that the propellant was bad and the sparker needed new flint.
ReplyDeleteWent tubing at my cousins' grandparents' place today. We wiped out 3 times! That tube was not very stable!
Tried kayaking as well. It's easier than canoeing.
Between my cousin and I, we ate an entire bowl of blueberries.
The city here has a tradition of shooting off fireworks over Lake Michigan on the 3rd of July. After the fireworks at Freedom Fest, these were kind of disappointing.
Yeah, we saw the fireworks in Milton, and they weren't as good as the ones at Freedom Fest.
DeleteI respectfully disagree, although there were certainly more of them at FreedomFest, I thought the display there was tasteless. It was just BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*-----------SILENCE------------BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*-------------------SILENCE---------------BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*, etc. The Milton fireworks has a much better sense of restraint and rhythm. Also, I thought that the individual fireworks in Milton were of higher quality than those at FreedomFest.
DeleteThere was rarely a silence!
DeleteAt Milton the fireworks were like this: BANG------BANG------BANG--BANG--------BANG-----BANG------BANG-----------BANG. Then at the last 15 seconds or so it was like this: BANG--BANG--BANG--BANG---BANG. At Freedom Fest the show was longer and many more fireworks were shot off.
So I bought an EOS-M kit with EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens.
ReplyDeleteIf you take a T4i, get rid of the mirror, viewfinder, flash, flip-out screen, and make the flange distance on the mount about an inch shorter and the mount diameter several centimeters narrower, that's an EOS-M. Internally it's about the same as the T4i: same firmware (which means Magic Lantern works), same CMOS sensor, same touchscreen, same processor. And 1080p video. Only in a way smaller camera, like almost fit in your pocket smaller.
Normally it goes for $599. It was on sale at B&H (and Amazon actually) for $299. Crazy, huh?
I'm not keeping it though. My plan is to resell it on eBay for something much closer to MSRP. Might have to wait a while to do that though, I'm sure I'm not the only person with that plan and so there will probably be a dip in the resale market value.
...silence...

I left for a while 'cause nothing interesting is going on here.
ReplyDeleteCompletely and thoroughly.
DeleteHave I ever told you how much I dislike the developing and scanning at Woodman's? Every photo had a weird dark spot in the upper right-hand corner and, worse than that the scans were polluted with digital noise. I mean honestly, what's the point of going to the trouble of shooting film if the beautiful chemical grain is going to be covered up with scanner noise. It defeats the purpose. Not to mention that the color inversion was poor, everything had a vague red cast (some more than others). That experience has completely converted me to using real labs.
ReplyDeleteListen to the film guy.
Delete>_<
Your in the wrong century dude.
*You're
DeleteDo have any idea how many people "still" shoot film?
Well, I don't either but there's quite a few.
Large format view cameras (which use 4x5 or 8x10 film) are sill the industry standard in fine art landscape photography.
Medium format film is a growing wedding photography niche.
And for those people who seem to think that taking cruddy pictures with purposely poor technical quality makes it art there's Lomography, the analogue Instagram equivalent.

This place is dead. It might have something to do with the fact that all comments now require approval. Seth? Is this your fault?
ReplyDeleteMy EOS-M finally shipped.
Do I keep it?
Or sell it?
I DON'T KNOW. Once the sales end there will probably be a big dip in the 2nd-hand market as people sell them off. Then it should go up again, a rise which will perhaps be followed by another dip as a wave of people sell them off again with the market rise (and so making them less valuable). Then it should stabilize for six months to a year before beginning a slow(ish) but steady decline.
Keep it, I think.
DeleteI read this article which you might appreciate: http://petapixel.com/2013/07/19/whos-your-dada/

It's really kinda' sad. Our cat is the real people-lover-type, nothing pleases him more than to be rubbed, stroked, and fed Meow-Mix. He especially adores sitting in your lap which brings me to the sad part: for some reason he never keeps his claws all the way in when he's sitting in your lap, and any sudden movement makes them come out. Because of that, having him repose in your lap is a very nerve-racking experience which means he doesn't get to enjoy the privileged as much as he would otherwise.
