Okay, I've been not blogging lately, partly because I've not had anything significant to say. I think I'd probably be better off doing at least one entry every day, as more of a journal, no matter how trivial my life has been that day. I mean, there's always got to be something to write about, right? And it's not like anyone actually reads this stuff. (If you do, let me know.)
So, um... what exactly am I supposed to write in a blog? I've never quite understood that. I suppose random links couldn't hurt. The details of my daily life would seem rather pointless (I have just finished eating an extravagant peanut butter sandwich)... It'd be really nice if I had a camera phone, as there are some spontaneous pictures I'd like to have taken and put up on a blog. A few nights ago there was a Walgreens sign, with no text on it advertising a special. One side of the fluorescent lights inside it had gone out, and directly above it was the moon, the same half of which was illuminated. I'm not about to devote another 950 or so words to describe the hypothetical picture, but I'm just as unlikely to spend a few hundred dollars on a cameraphone to save myself this trouble anytime I'm struck by the imagery of reality. So, what to do? I don't think carrying around the family's digital camera all the time is a good idea, and it's a different kind of photography anyway. Perhaps the logical extension of the cameraphone idea is the eyetap device, which just records exactly what you see. There's no messing around with exposure and f-stops. Mom wants to use the computer now (more later on why mine isn't working - arrgh postponed).
