Pictures from the My Chemical Romance concert, 11 May 2011.
As I'd mentioned in an earlier post, here are the pictures I took at the concert. Yes, this would be the show that gave me my first suntan in over six years (by way of a sunburn) and kicked my body's immune system off the edge of a cliff by exposing it to a hellish cauldron of airborn illnesses and allergies that can only come from going to a convention or camping out for a concert.<
Highlights of the show: hanging out with lots of killjoys of all shapes and sorts. I got to meet a lot of new people …

Fossil hunting along the Chesapeake.
A couple of months back I went hiking by the Chesapeake with Orthaevelve, her mother, and Jarin. It was in mid- to late spring, so it was before the heat and humidity rolled in to settle like a misasma over the DC area. I don't know exactly how far we hiked, only that it was a good four or five hour trip all told, from hiking in to spending time at the shore hunting for fossils to hiking back to where we'd parked. There was a goodly amount of wildlife out and about during our trip, from dragonflies and skinks …

Still alive.
Just busy. And sore. And working a lot. And needing aloe vera. How about some pictures that have been piling up on my phone?

Pictures from Mythic Faire 2011.
Real life being what it is, I haven't had an opportunity to post much lately. I've a couple of writeups on Windbringer's desktop that are little more than disjointed notes right now that I really need to finish. The only thing I've really gotten done are the photographs I took at Mythic Faire a couple of weeks back.

Pictures from the showing of The Transcendent Man.
Now that I've got a little time to breathe, here are the pictures I took at the showing of The Transcendent Man two weekends ago. Not yet scanned is the piece of memorabelia Ray Kurzweil was kind enough to autograph for me.

I've been choc-rickrolled!
As a late birthday gift, AJ (who flew into DC last night) gave me a gimmicked chocolate bar that rickrolled me the moment I tore the wrapper open. If you look carefully you can see a speaker glued to the foil. The circuitry consists of a solid-state audio chip that can record a few minutes of sound, the necessary driving circuitry for the recording chip, and a miniature amplifier that boosts the recording to audible levels. A cleverly placed nonconductive tab was pulled out of position when the wrapper was peeled back, closing the circuit and dropping the bomb on …

Photographs from Chinese New Year 2011.
I didn't get a chance to post about it at the time, but Lyssa, Keely, and I went to Washington, DC's Chinese New Year Celebration downtown. Once again, I went in cold because I was curious about the experience, mostly because barely-remembered memories of television shows about Chinese New Years from my childhood aren't really anything to go on. I knew in some hazy fashion that fireworks were involved, but I hadn't realized that they'd be unrolling gigantic strings of firecrackers - Black Cats, we used to call them. Specifically, they were strings that, when coiled up, were about three feet …
