New Pictures
After figuring out how to connect my ubuntu feisty laptop (thinkpad) to my phone (samsung), mostly from the thinkwiki howto, I managed to get all of my pictures off of it. I uploaded them to my photo gallery, separating them into concert pictures and other assorted pictures of things like graffitti, funny signs, computer error screens in public, and so forth.
Speaking of Graffitti, I’ve got a couple of good ones so far in addition to Mel Gibson. The first is a speech bubble painted on a the side of a truck saying, inexplicably as usual, “CU Killz”. Coming from Columbia, I assume that the CU in question is Columbia University. I suppose it could be copper. The second was done in marker on an ad in the subway, saying “Bill McHenry uses a metal mouthpiece.” Bill McHenry is a New York tenor sax player who I’ve seen play a couple of times, so I found this immensely amusing. For some reason, no one else on the platform even cracked a smile.
The concert photos are more for me to remember the shows I’ve been to than for photographic quality, although a few, like the one above of Jarvis Cocker, aren’t bad considering they’re from my phone. Going through the pictures, there were a couple of shows that I didn’t remember going to until Joanne was able to put a name to the face.
