Pond water + sun + four weeks = ?

I’m hoping that little Spore-like creatures appear, or at the very least, the water will turn green. Sometimes it’s nice to let go and let nature do its thing. I’ll post close-up photos of the jars in four weeks.

I’m unbelievably busy at the moment so the gallery script is on the back burner. Once things slow down just a bit I’ll jump back on it, promise.

Also, I’m having no luck with my RSS feed as it shows up empty. The W3C feed validator is having trouble finding it so I’m unable to analyze it for syntax. Any ideas? FYI: feed is generated by Wordpress 1.5.1

Update: I’m planning on upgrading to Wordpress 2.x shortly. That should resolve the RSS issue.

But.. while I have your attention. Go check out Chris Campbell from Particle Tree’s excellent work in extending the script to allow for non-image content: Lightbox Gone Wild

I will be in West Virginia from Aug. 3th till Aug. 7th attending a wedding. My lease in Allston runs out Aug. 31st. I’m still unsure as to where I will end up come Sept. 1st.

Let me sort through the photos and I’ll post the nicer ones.

I’ll post my thoughts here soon. Here are a couple of pictures of Oriole Park at Camden Yards to start.

To start, I will be taking a four day roadtrip this upcoming weekend, two days in Baltimore (the 5th & 6th) and two days in Brooklyn (the 7th & 8th). Later in the month I will be flying to Japan for 10 days (the 19th through 29th). More on this later.

Freelancing has it’s benefits, but the extracurricular work involved isn’t for me. I’m gonna hunker down and get a regular job. I’ll let you know how my search goes.

Steph and I made it back from Philly this last weekend. I snapped a couple photos here and there. The Liberty Bell was nice to see, even though it was a bit smaller than I expected. 3 feet from lip to crown: My co-roadtripper Steph doing something really important on the computer: We stayed with my friend Sandie and her roommate Sarah (she’s in this picture). They’re both attending Pennsylvania University for Design: View of downtown: Same idea, but I panned the camera left a bit: The mammoth art museum in Philly. Those are the ‘Rocky’ steps: I don’t have any photo evidence but we ate vegetarian Philly Cheese Steaks at a little place called Gianna’s. We also tried Ethopian food for our first time.

I’ll be in New Hampshire from the 12th to the 16th. After that, I’ll be spending a couple of nights in Philadelphia and returning back to Boston for the 19th. Expect a photo of me and the Liberty Bell real soon.
