via jwz, marble madness 2003: a ut2k3 mod.

catching up on some reading, this bit about flying alone as a metaphor for life from moxie struck an interesting chord. i don't recommend trying it with a herniated disc, either literally or metaphorically.

here's a raw dump of my pictures from budapest. the first five are from the area around the hotel (near the east train station), and the rest are from the royal palace area. (i didn't take very many pictures. i work for a company full of shutterbugs.)

and no, the buildings don't lean that much. i generally have a fix-it-in-post shooting philosophy, although you're getting the benefit of unfixed photos here.

a while back, i wrote that i could not find a charity focused on computer recycling in los angeles. the city does have an e-waste program to handle the stuff. they have collection events every weekend, and a permanent facility in playa del rey.

this still isn't quite what i was trying to find. there are charities in other cities that take used computers, buff them up, and give them out.

well, my skechers have lasted about nine months. i'm sorely tempted to just do an online shoe-ordering crap-shoot rather than deal with going to a shoe store. (not high on my list of favorite things to do.)
