American Red Lager made with Irish Red Ale Yeast. Primed using a combination of Dried Malt Extract and corn sugar. I'm pretty pleased with it.

Tired and grumpy with a bag that smells on the 32nd St platform. Back home is both a relief and a terrible disappointment.

Dominican Food almost impossible to find, so we eat mostly pasta and beans cooked in our room.

After being (nicely) kicked out of an all-inclusive resort, walking to the beach and not being able to deal with the Jimmy Buffet at the bar, Scott, Eric and I make our way past Ocean World the the Casino...

Generally, I try to not get to attached to inanimate objects, but I really like this loupe, for three very important reasons.
#1: I took it out of a dumpster
#2: It reminds me of the best 24 hours I spent in Scotland
#3: I can use it to measure very small, very flat things.
I can't really speak one way or the other towards Janet's Supermarket however.

Today gets two pictures, because I couldn't decide.
Waiting on a super slow train after a few $1.75 PBRs.

I suck
at maintaining a blog. Sorry.
But to make up for it, here's an update. A new feature that probably won't last long: taking pictures of wierd stuff i find outside of work. Today, a rubber breast with a face drawn on, stuck to the fence.
enjoy.

I almost finished a project!
Some of you may remember my plan to build a theremin. well, we'll see how it turns out over the next few hours, but here's where we are now
A few things to note:
+ my soldering iron holder is the perfect length to allow th super hot tip to rest comfortably on the surface of my desk
+ measuring is important
+ if you substitute one part of a kit for something else, the directions don't really help anymore
+ soldering fumes make you feel funny

Nurses
This is one of the first photos I ever found. I don't know why, but I think it's become one of my favorite photos. It's why i always stop to pick up photos from the ground and steal film from cameras in the thrift store.

The Dental Hospital Slides
Scotland, April 2005:
On my way to the darkroom in the mid morning, I walk past a dumpster. Acting on reflex, I glance in and notice that it is filled, to the brim, with sciency looking things. I resist and go to the studio, but am unable to concentrate. I have to go back, and I find a few friends to come with me. It turns out that this dumpster is filled with things from a lab in the dental hospital across the street. The lab is closing down. After about an hour in the dumpster, we are invited up to the lab to take what we please. Here is what I found:
-boombox with tape and radio, working
-2 binders full of negatives and slides (see below)
-1 binder of "Skull Loan Forms", blank and filled out
-rolls of exposed but undeveloped slide film
-3 glass eyes
-1 old wooden first aid box, with old first aid
-wire rack filled with glass bottles and tubes (later hopefully turned into an ant farm by a guy named tim)
-Immersion chiller
-Lab coat with dental X-rays in pocket
-Dozens of boxes of slide mounts (for microscopes)
-dozens of boxes of tounge depressors
-nice family photo album filled with pictures of something that looks like a detatched finger (but is probably a tooth)
-Dentist's mirror 9the kind they stick in your mouth)
-Industrial knife sharpener/grinder
-1 box (300 count) of new 60 ml specimin jars
-1 box (700 count) of new 7 ml vials
-new box of vinyl gloves
-2 tubes of diamond compound.
-bottle of "Dilap Fluid", pressurized, with unicorn on lable
-8x loupe with mm gauge
-plastic sculpted gums with real teeth imbedded, apparently used to practice fillings
-nice little plastic sticker that posed the question "pH electrodes getting thirsty?"
-leitz wetzlar 5x4 camera back looking thing.
-Eluant control panel
-bunches of other things that we were not allowed to take, including 2 fridges filled with tooth samples from dozens of different species. someone else did get the dentist chair though.
Later that night i went to see Oi Polloi, but it just couldn't live up to the morning's activities.
