Colosseo Letterpress Poster: cameron moll

I have been a huge admirer of Cameron Moll's work for some time now. His use of typography to create architectural facades is nothing short of A M A Z I N G ! I was so excited when he posted a note that he was working on a new project - the Colosseo!   Finally a building that I have a connection to... now I can justify purchasing one of his works!   I cannot wait to get it.... now, how to frame it and where to hang it?

dummy me

I've had this very strange thing going on with my DVR over the last couple of months. It was intermittent, so it took me a while to really get irritated enough to call the cable company for assistance. Finally fed up, the call was made and the tech was out today to swap out the DVR box with a new one. He fumbles through his paperwork to see that I have HD service, went through a few menu items on the box set up to be sure I was receiving HD signal in 1080p.

He blew thru this so fast that it took a few minutes for it to sink in ... yeah, I've been paying for HD, but never changed the setting on the box to make sure it was broadcasting in HD!

I remember thinking when I first received the HD channels that there wasn't much of a change from what I was previously watching. Sheesh! I fault the cable company for not telling me to change this setting when I signed up for the HD service. How would I have ever known this setting existed unless they tell me? Don't you just assume they make all necessary changes on their end?

I consider myself a fairly tech savvy person, but it's things like this that just baffle me...

tonight's mousepath

My point'n and click'n from 7 PM to 12 AM .... gotta love homework! I thought you weren't supposed to have homework after you were done with school... So much for that! On a positive note, it did turn out an outstanding mousepath design. Maybe I should frame it...

p.s. I think I'm working waaaaay too much!

Casa Munras

Doing a little research on Monterey, CA and found a really cute hotel. I poked around on Flickr and found some fabulous photos of the shore and am actually getting excited for a little California trip. Oh, and this place has a spa package - YES!! Now lets just hope I can find a good price on flights!

foggy

Had a photoblogger meet up this morning in the south loop area - good to see the guys again. Kind of a crap day for photos tho... I got a fun snap on my way to meet everyone, but nothing of substance while we were walking around. We ventured to the Maxwell St market and that was quite the experience. Some VERY random items being sold there...

I didn't really feel comfortable busting out the camera for fear that I'd get yelled at by one of the vendors... We did find an interesting grouping of signs at the back of an empty parking lot. I have no idea what these are actually for though. I had to really pull the color out of this one - taken with the new S90 - I feel like it's a little on the "sharp" side, I need to figure out how to change a setting or run some noise ninja on the images. Testing Lightroom 3 beta and it's a smidge different from 1.0 that I've been so used to...

Anyhoo, I can check another thing off of the "I've never done that" list. I've heard about the Maxwell Market, but have just never gone. Don't think I will ever have the need to go back, but you just never know!
