Seperated At Birth?

Every time I watch LOST and I see Miles Straum I think he looks like that guy with all the kids. Every time I catch a few glimpses of Jon & Kate Plus 8 I think how much he looks like that weird psychic guy on LOST. (I’m not the only one) But as I went searching for photos with them in similar poses, I now see that they really don’t look much alike at all.

Windows 7 is gone. Booted into it, downloaded a copy of EasyBCD and used it to remove the Vista-like bootloader, booted back into XP and formatted the partition it resided on.

Sunday Breakfast

We were originally intended to drive to Florence to meet Donna’s cousin Laurie for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel, but it got called off. Laurie had to go into work to cover for someone and couldn’t make it. It saved us having to get up real early and have to drive a 130 miles, but it didn’t save us from going out to eat. Donna was looking forward to not having to cook, and suggested we go to the Cracker Barrel in Augusta, but neither she nor I wanted to drive the 35 miles just to eat breakfast. I suggested we just go to the IHOP here in Aiken, a mere 3 miles away. Sold.

Polaroid

Last year sometime they stopped making instant Polaroid film, but don’t despair, now thanks to the magic of software called Poladroid Project you can recreate those “thrilling” green tinged soft focused images from your crystal clear perfectly color balanced 10 megapixel images your digital SLR produces. They have even recreated the agonizing wait while your photo develops, the only thing lacking is the ability to pick up your monitor and wave it around to help speed the process.

Ed Note Jan 2023: The Poladroid Project is long defunct, but I managed to track down a copy of the program using Google and the Internet Archive and it still works on Windows 11. Interested? Poladroid 0.9.6, 6MB download

Maybe the reason I think this is so cool is because my very first camera at about 10 or 11 years-old was a Polaroid Swinger
