Snowy House

I thought that this snowed-in bird house was a particularly apt image given how much snow we got. This image was manually converted to black and white.

I like striking geometry like these diagonal lines found on our deck railing. This image was manually converted to black and white, not that it needed too much tweaking…

I love this kind of winter scene. This doesn’t really convey how much snow we really got, if you can believe it; we got almost a foot! This image actually was not converted to black and white, although it sure looks it…

The 50 Most Loathsome People in America 2008

The Beast continues with its annual tradition with its list of The 50 Most Loathsome People in America 2008. I have to agree with kottke that #43, “You,” is one of the best ones:

You’re hopping mad about an auto industry bailout that cost a squirt of piss compared to a Wall Street heist of galactic dimensions, due to a housing crash you somehow have blamed on minorities. It took you six years to figure out what a tool Bush is, but you think Obama will make it all better. You deem it hunky dory that we conduct national policy debates via 8-second clips from “The View.” You think God zapped humans into existence a few thousand years ago, although your appendix and wisdom teeth disagree. You like watching vicious assholes insult each other on TV. You support gun rights, because firing one gives you a chubby. You cuddle falsehoods and resent enlightenment. You think the fact that 43% of whites could stomach voting for an incredibly charismatic and eloquent light-skinned black guy who was raised by white people means racism is over. You think progressive taxation is socialism. 1 in 100 of you are in jail, and you think it should be more. You are shallow, inconsiderate, afraid, brand-conscious, sedentary, and totally self-obsessed. You are American.

Exhibit A: You’re more upset by Miley Cyrus’s glamour shots than the fact that you are a grown adult who is upset about Miley Cyrus.

Daily Automated Posting

Those of you that still follow my blog regularly have no doubt noticed the distinct lack of posts lately. In a post from a couple of months ago, I mentioned that I would try and at least try to make occasional short posts, but I obviously just haven’t had the time. I have managed to make a weekly post at the Casa Chornopeckyj family blog, but even that has languished at times.

To try and make up for the lack of posts, I’m once again making automated daily posts based on my delicious bookmarks, utilizing Feedburner to aggregate items from delicious as well as any photos I’ve posted to flickr.

The downside to this is that at the end of each day, one post will combine all of those bookmarks and pictures, making it a more cumbersome to comment (not that I get all that many comments). Still, at least this way you’ll get to see some of the items that interest me rather than seeing nothing at all.

I’m hoping that I’ll still be able to make individual posts on items that merit some commentary or discussion, but we’ll have to see how that goes.

Finally, those of you that subscribe to my blog via RSS have already had the benefit of seeing my delicious bookmarks and my flickr photos, so it will now look like I’m double-posting. Sorry about that, but I don’t know any way around that…

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments…
