Floozy Speak!

Soon all over the world, a nation, proud and full of understanding and yes 3 nukes per child shall rise up and be happy for tomorrow is the day of happy-ohyes-ness.

The order has arrived, its media madness! Today I get to play "what dvd-r media works best!" Todays contestants are: Ritek, Samsung, BeALL and Accu! Who will stand out as usable media! Bring on the Sony DVDR deck and let the games begin! I wish decks in general would just tell me what to buy. Todays media selection is unique in that these are all white ink jet printable media discs. Why? Cause thats the future baby! That and we gotta test out the Epson R300M we got here at work, just for the purpose of "printing" oh so magically. Oh yes and todays media is provided by Meritline.

Have you been frisky? Get frisky its good for the soul.

Let's see in other news, yes I've purchased my first Lommographic camera. Why? Good question, it seemed odd, different, strange and strangely attractive so what the hell. As we all know.. ha.. lomographic photography is: (from the wikipedia)

Lomography is a new take on an old style of analogue photography. The Lomo L-CA, from which Lomography takes its name, was a camera originally produced during the Communist period in St. Petersburg, Russia, though the design has recently been bought up by a Swiss firm who market it as a 'fashion camera'. The Lomo L-CA has a maximum film speed of 400 ISO, and (like all modern point and shoot cameras) keeps the shutter open long enough for each picture to be accurately exposed. The combination of automatic exposure, relatively fast film speeds, and small size encourages the Lomo user to take slightly abstract photographs.

Lomography emphasizes a casual 'shoot from the hip' attitude. Never mind when a a picture is out of focus or the framing is odd. Shoot first, judge later. Others use the technique to document everyday life, not by a well composed picture, taken at exactly the right moment, but rather by producing a series of undirected pictures that together tell a story.

I picked up a colorsplash camera. I can't decide if I really like this camera and the concept of it or am I just wowed by such incredible website design. What made me want this, was it the website or did I actually want it. A bit of both. I've seen these 4 lense, 9 lense cameras before at Urban Outfitters and always thought... why... But hey. I'm LQD ya know.. gotta go low.

Ya know speaking of Urban Outfitters, they always seem to have a great book selection.. prices are a bit high but nice selection.

BEHOLD! They have it.. I've wanted this clock forever. A classic vintage flip clock, , sure its got robot legs but yes if you want to please me get me old old old flipclock. But of course its out of stock. GRRRRR!

We're the midst of designing our war room at work. Designers, engineers, people of creative thought need space to get ideas down and organize them. Research and mass amounts of data go together, you just can't do research right unless you get alot of data.

So what's a war room at Lextant? A room that comes to life! Nice painted walls that say hey hey hey and then from there toys, lots of them to get people thinking. And lastly lots of tackable space. We got some cool ideas for this new war room we're designing. Looking at sites like urban outfitters gives me ideas.. oooh things to get maybe. The place has to be groovy.

Ya know a simple set of Bose speakers in there would be cool too. Hmmm maybe the slim mp3 ya.. that would nice. And that pole in there... now that i think about it, you could put a keyboard/lcd on that pole make it a little terminal, call up images from the server, etc.. music.. hey that'd be right outa scifi baby. I could do that... hmm more on that later, pics next week... is gonna get painted soon!
