Strapping Young Lad pix up!

I just got the first roll of pictures back from the Strapping Young Lad show. Got some interesting pix with a Lomo LC-A and Fuji Press 400 film, my new favorite. I liked this one a lot…

Sherman, set the Way-Back machine for 1992!
I’ve switched back and forth between Outlook, Palm Desktop, and a hybrid palm-only planning solution for some time, and finally decided to go back to a paper planner. I feel totally old-school lugging this binder around, but there are some things you can’t do with anything but a [...]

More LOMO news

Just got another LOMO roll back from the lab, this picture of the projector at the parkway theater turned out pretty cool. I sent 4 rolls from the Strapping Young Lad show in the mail to York Photo, but Yuri S., one of the posters on www.lomo.org just had 4 rolls of film lost [...]

SYL at the POUND

Urrgh… Went to go see a killer band — Strapping Young Lad last night at The Pound, a little metal club out in Dogpatch/Hunter’s Point/Bayview/whatever it’s called nowadays.

lomo dot org, wasting away

I’ve been a long-time contributor to lomo.org, but I’m finally getting frustrated by the sysop’s lack of concern for seeing the community flourish. He doesn’t respond to emails. The bbs came close to going away several months back - one or a couple of problem users decided to trash the board, and in the process [...]
