The life and times of a fallen hacker

This week’s photo friday challenge is far from home.
The pictured spot (the southern edge of Singapore) is not the furthest away I’ve been, but probably the best signposted location.

This week’s thursday challenge concerns pets.
My take on the subject is a photograph of a small catfish, Palespotted Corydoras (Corydoras gossei, kultapäämonninen in finnish). Typically to an armored catfish, it’s a bottom-dweller and happiest when presented with mosquito larvae on soft sand.

This week’s photo thursday challenge is bogeyman, mörkö in finnish.
According to wikipedia, a bogeyman has
… no specific appearance, and bogeyman can be used metaphorically to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear.
My take on the subject is a small creature with a fearsome face. This is an […]

Considering that it’s ten minutes to midnight on thursday, it’s high time to participate in this week’s photo friday challenge. The topic is found objects.
The attached photograph has a beautiful white seashell, deposited by the tides on a log high on a beach.
The picture in full-size (this has been moderately cropped) is […]

Meh.
Was looking forward to a new challenge already this week, but the site’s break is actually two weeks long.

A couple of things of interest:
The header image is now rotated from a collection of ten. Catch them all. Or jump off to the page that shows them all in thumbnailed glory.
Re-engineered the system that generates a page on movie reviews. It’s not perfect, but good enough, and will be […]

This week’s macroday challenge is about odd toys.
It took me a good while to get to the grips with the subject - a close-up on the face of a plush Cthulhu seemed to be the best idea until yesterday evening. The irregularly played 2-on-2 table hockey tournament (report pending) provided just the […]

This week’s photo friday challenge is the good life.
My take on the subject is the attached image, of the last moments of a grand dinner in Boston. The scrumptious key lime pie is accompanied with a glass of calvados, and the dinner itself is on top of a full summer day roaming […]

This week’s thursday challenge is all about green.
My take is the attached image, of a truly overgrown patch of rainforest in the Blue Mountains near Sydney.
I had several ideas about the subject, but figured out that dollar bills are so 80s, don’t own any St. Patrick’s Day gear and the only […]

This week’s photo thursday challenge is reflection.
My take on the subject is a dusk-lit glass building in Victoria, British Columbia.

This week’s photo friday challenge is surreal.
Once again the subject of choice is an animal, this time a jellyfish, floating free against a bright blue background.

This week’s thursday challege is games.
My take is the attached image, an overview of the Safecracker-pinball’s playing field.

This week’s photo thursday challenge concerns itself with a long quote from Erland Loe’s Supernaïve. The most pertinent bit of which is “… the list doesn’t lie. I’m satisfied with it. Perhaps the object I’m looking for does exist…”
Having not read the book, my assumption is that the list describes several unlikely […]

The hobby of sleevefacing seems to be a bit more involved than I originally thought.
In addition to the flickr-group, sleeveface.com covers the same ground, but with more explanations.
The finnish take has launched its gallery as a facebook group.

This week’s macroday challenge is ticket.
My take is the attached image, a ticket to last summer’s Sauna Open Air in Tampere, the thursday evening headlined by Megadeth. Who played the best gig of the year, easily surpassing Metallica.

This week’s photo friday challenge is fuzzy.
My take is the attached image of a koala bear from the Brisbane Zoo. As animals go, these marsupials are pretty close to the top in fuzziness.

The subject of this week’s thursday challenge is travel.
My take is the attached image, of the best-known Paris attraction lit on a warm May evening back in 2005. Haven’t been back to the french capital since, but certainly am planning a return visit.
As usual, clicking the photograph provides access to […]

This week’s photo thursday challenge is hard choice.
My take on the subject is the attached image, of a boat heading into the mist just below the Niagara falls. It took about three seconds to make up our minds whether to go on such a cruise and experience the falls up close and personal. […]
Posted in macroday on Feb 25th, 2008
This week’s macroday challenge is part.
And what would be a better take on the subject but a lego brick - definitely a part of something bigger, but not of just a single something, but whatever the builder likes.
My trusty S3 is having a hard time in less than optimally lit […]
