Tracking Jack and a Pop Quiz

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Hmm…I took a look at my server logs, and it appears that someone’s been tracking me down. Well, hi someone, whoever you are. :::waving:::

Meanwhile, try the Postmaster’s Challenge!

Bull, No Bull

Maybe taking up photography as a hobby wasn’t a good idea.

Photos Sold

Kewl. I was contacted by a magazine for permission to publish some of my Flickr photos. I said sure, provided a little information about each photo and kind of forgot about it.

Today they contacted me to tell me they’d be sending a check for $500 for 4 of the photos they are going to publish.

Fortune smiles upon the dysfunctionals. I’m a happy guy. And my Flickr pics are up to 250,000 hits, by the way.

I can use the good news. This week has been a horrible one at work. We had the holiday, which means a ton of mail waiting for us on the day after the holiday. We ended up on a national list of screwups. And I ended up in the middle of a procedural error on the part of another department.

$500. $500. That’s going to be my mantra today.

Diamonds or Internet

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

You thought diamonds were forever? Forget it, they get lost or stolen. However, I’m starting to think the Internet is forever.

In a moment of hubris, I thought I’d Google myself. I’ll be darned if I didn’t show up in a Pinnacle Software text file from 1994. You do the math.

Ghost Rider #041 - 19

 I did find myself in a print publication from 1978 or 1979. It’s from the Ghost Rider comic book. Found this on an online archived bit torrent.
