Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anybody have a better knowledge of photography history than I can google? I found a box of glass negatives in my grandparents' stuff. Based on where I found it, I can narrow it's origin to Europe, probably Vienna, definitely before WWII. It's glass negatives, about three by four inches. (Next thing I'm going to do is try scanning them with white paper behind them, then use photoshop or something to switch the black/white colors, to see if the photos themselves give any clues. Of the people in my family who I know were living there then, I think there are only two or three that I can recognize from a photo.)
t edit: OK, I got better google search terms. 1850-1920 for glass negatives, it seems. Judging from the clothes I can see in these, I'd guess the later end of that period.

Dog is my co-pilot.
And I need to figure out if I can make beans in my crockpot.
What kind of beans do you have in mind? What size crockpot?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Oh for fuck's sake. Does this effectively ban all laptops, iPods, cell phones, etc?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

They are fucking insane.
Hey, my laptop screen is on. How weird. Yay?
I have a small crock pot that runs only on low. We made beans at my parents, but theirs has multiple settings, and I don't recall what we used. Need to ask my mom.

Don't most laptops use lithium-ion batteries, not lithium metal batteries?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In the laptop it's OK, but you can't bring a spare? Apparently.
So I totally wasted the entire rest of the day after my modicum of productivity early. At least I've made excellent progress on getting all of the snacky food out of my apartment....
