Guilty Pleasure Movies

Michael Geoghegan of Reel Reviews asked for “Guilty Pleasures” movies.

For me, my #1 is Flash Gordon. Gotta love that soundtrack.

BMX Bandits is a close second. I loved this movie as a kid.

First Podcast

My first podcast ever is live.

It may not sound like me due to the nasty cold I had, but trust me… it was me… yeah.

Anyways, enjoy, and please send me comments! ;-)

Randomized Photo Headers

The header images are now randomized. At the moment you’ll get 1 of 26 possibilites on each page you visit. More will certainly come, I’ve barely dipped into my photo archive at this point. You can view all the headers (without refreshing a billion times) here (I’ll make this look nicer tonight).

Enjoy…

If you’re a Kubrick user and want to do this on your site, just copy this into your index.php file just above the <style> tag:

<?
// Gen random header img
// Images must be in [your blog url]/images/head/
// Images must be named 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, etc.

$num_img=26; //number of images - change this!
$rnd_num=rand(1,$num_img);
$head_img=str_pad($rnd_num, 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
?>

Then replace this line:

#header { background: url("< ?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }

With this:

#header { background: url("< ?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/images/head/< ?php echo $head_img?>.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }

Tuning in to regional ‘podcasts’

Bluer and myself got a mention in a Podcasting article in the St. paul Pioneer Press today.

Of course, the token “If Jesus were alive today” quote got in there:

If Jesus were on Earth today, “I think he’d be a podcaster,” Ciske said. This is “another way to spread the gospel.”

I realize now that I answered the question wrong. I should have said:

Jesus is on earth today, living in the hearts of his Church via the Holy Spirit and He is podcasting, via all the believers who are podcasting.

Hindsight is 20/20…

Natural Stone Arch

Public Domain photos from USGS.

Here’s a better organized site but the photos are lower quality and only up to 1991.

Some highlights: Arches National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hanging out with himself/herself/theyself

Composite

Through the magic of multiple exposures and photshoppin’ comes Composites 2004.

Very cool.
