Lazy Layman part 2

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

So I’ve been further considering this “Introduction To…” communal grassroots (god I hate that word) educational system. I could make a new blog for it (vancouverfreelearning.blogspot.com?), which would be cheap and easy, but the disadvantage is that there’s no way to email people who are interested in partaking, unless I made a separate mailing list, which I could do. There’s yahoogroups, which is a glorified mailing list, but some people have a hate-hate relationship with it. Doing forums would be the most efficient way I think, but it would be a hassle to set up and would probably never get done since I am no programmer and probably don’t have the requirements to host such a program.

Thoughts?

My Pores!

My digital camera is pretty amazing. At 6 megapixels, you can see the pores on my nose from a shot taken at full arm’s length.

Here, as promised, are some pictures, or ‘pics’ to use the parlance of our times.

Karaoke Revolution. Here you can see me (MacBin) in my furry cat costume.

In the blurry shot where Joe and I are performing, the crowd meter is on the right, and there is a bar on the top and bottom (those blue and orange streaks), one for each player, which provides the lyrics and indicates when to sing and the pitch, more or less. The angle changes constantly, and the characters do little dance moves of course.
