Look At Those Shoes

She was standing on the escalator in front of us and my wife motioned to the woman's shoes.

I took a quick photo with the GF1 as the escalator went up.

At the top we looked at the shop that used to be open, and oh, oh, it had closed down.

Another victim of the times.

Saturday Thoughts

My toes are cold because I am sitting here without my socks on. Where does the inertia to bend down and put them on come from? I am enjoying myself too much to bend down and put them on!? OK. Hit the pause button.

OK.

I was thinking what it would be like if the computer screen followed us around instead of us having to look in one direction towards its face.

I think the iPad is the nearest we have to that - no wires and as long as you are in range of a signal - no restriction on just letting it dangle from one's fingers as we walk around to go and sit on the couch or on the bed or just rest it on the worktop while we make breakfast.

Is that good?

I think there is something 1984-ish about computer screens. Has anyone ever been sucked into one and disappeared?

I read a story about a TV that refused to show any channels. It just had a message across its screen that said 'Feed me.'

Little Johnny goes to bed and in the morning he comes down and his parents have disappeared but the TV message says 'Fed.'

Have a good Saturday.

One Of Things Google Does Well

So many people use Google for search, that seeing this Tsunami alert a couple of days ago seemed just the kind of thing that makes Google good.

Photographing cows or other farm scenery could land you in jail under Senate bill

Taking photographs from the roadside of a sunrise over hay bales near the Suwannee River, horses grazing near Ocala or sunset over citrus groves along the Indian River could land you in jail under a Senate bill filed Monday.

SB 1246 by Sen. Jim Norman, R-Tampa, would make it a first-degree felony to photograph a farm without first obtaining written permission from the owner. A farm is defined as any land "cultivated for the purpose of agricultural production, the raising and breeding of domestic animals or the storage of a commodity."

We all need to dig just a little bit deeper to understand what this is really about . Farmers across the country have recently noticed that when their farm animals think no one is watching or listening, the animals stand up on 2 legs and engage in open debate and dialogue in clearly understandable English. They talk about a variety of things including the price of corn, soybeans, politics and the weather (they avoid religion). The animals try hard to conceal their behavior (rumor is that they're trying to unionize and contact PETA) and are afraid if they get caught, they'll be immediately slaughtered.

Farmers are trying desperately to make sure no one photographs any animal who is openly displaying higher thought processes or the ability to think or communicate to humans. It would mean a swift end to the "harvesting" of animals for food.

Hence, the "no photography rule". I also understand they're introducing another bill to create a "no fly zone" for animals that can fly. Rumor is that pigs are watching this bill very closely.
