I think I'm an obsessive compulsive picture taker. It can't be good when you take over 400 pictures in 5 days and you delete 95% of them because you relieze you just took a picture of a floor tile. Digicams are just too much fun... but the novelty will wear off eventually... I hope... Unless I keep discovering new things, like various picture modes:
Normal Computer
Negative Mode
Negative w/o Flash
Sepia
Black and White
Solarize

Maine has created the world's largest scale model of the solar system. Maine has just officially become cool.

I wrote my first bit of PHP the other night, to organzie the cam archives. It now creates the page on the fly without me having to continuously update it. PHP pretty cool little language, and very useful for some of the stuff I wanted to accomplish. Plus it's always fun to learn something interesting.

Speaking of fun, I was thinking about what makes things "fun" the other day. That what I find incredibly exciting and fun to do, other people hate and vice versa. I was having a blast messing around with that PHP script at 3 in the morning, while shopping at the mall for clothes is something I try to avoid as much as possible. And for other people it's the exact opposite. It all seems pretty arbitrary to me. I guess that's why I'm a big fan of doing whatever floats your boat, because as long as you're having fun (so long as no one else is getting hurt in the process), what does it matter what you're doing to have fun? Those guys dressing up as Star Wars characters for Star Wars movies, or playing paper RPG's are pretty cool in my opinion, because they aren't afraid to have fun however they like it. And as long as they're having a good time, all the power to them. Or mabye it's just because my idea of fun is pretty out there sometimes and I'm trying to justify it :)

Oh, the webcam can be found under Stuff if you want to keep up with it.
