Where’s the beef?

July 31st, 2007 @ 12:33 am by Tim

In anticipation of my big July paycheck, I purchased a film scanner finally. As a result, I’m going to try to post a picture a day. I probably won’t hit my mark; maybe I should shoot for one a week, but that seems a bit low. Oh well.

First up, in preparation for the big bash at Thom’s house, I present to you a photo taken at the last gathering. To me, this photo fully represents gatherings at Thom’s place. In the words of Mike, “It’s a weekend of booze and meat.” I think this picture does a good job of illustrating that. I want to say the hot dogs shown here were for lunch or dinner, but it could have been breakfast…

When I go away for conferences, by about the 4th day of eating out every meal, staying out late, getting up early, and sitting in crappy talks all day, I start to feel a little disgusting inside. I feel like that at Thom’s after about 3 hours.

A general note: Feel free to click through the picture to look at other sizes. I should be providing all these pictures at a decent enough resolution to get nice looking 4×6’s out of them if you feel like downloading them. Of course I have higher res versions too. It’d be great if you wanted to leave comments as well - either here or over on Flickr.

Comics “not sent” to the Baltimore Sun

Click on individual comics for a larger version. A couple of these are by Grue. There are 5 in all and to my knowledge they were never mailed to the Baltimore Sun. Either that or the Baltimore Sun never wrote back.

Nailed to the Counter

July 18th, 2007 @ 9:28 pm by Mike

The following passage comes from page 189 of Hard Times: Human Documents of the Industrial Revolution, by E. Royston Pike, published by Frederick A. Praeger, New York, 1966. As Pike writes, “All the documents quoted are original documents, prepared and written and set down in print when the Revolution was actually going on”. (7)

Hard times indeed.
