A few weeks ago I was playing with Jem’s MacBook during practice. I got to play with Apple’s PhotoBooth. Here are some photos I have of myself using the built in quartz/coreimage effects.

Degradation of life?
There was one thing that irked me in the House’s dialogs in each episode. Well it’s really more unsettling than it is irksome. It’s the use of the word nauseous to mean nauseated.
She’s feeling nauseous.
No she’s not, unless she feels that she’s so ugly that she’s downright disgusting (not disgustED) that other people are nauseated by her being nauseous. (or maybe just because she just smells like puke and feces) Get my drift?
Now I do realize that probably by this generation, the word has already evolved to mean the same thing, and is commonly accepted as an alternative to the correct usage. I think it’s sad though that one has to degrade the quality of different aspects in life simply because they become “commonplace.”
That mentality is the very same reason why values/morals/etc. continue to degrade.
But who am I to talk? After all, I always tend to forget putting an H when I spell “whether.”

I haven’t done 7 out of 17. 3 of those seven are non-negotiables – so I guess it’s 4/14 😉
To buy or not to buy
Nono had a recent post that prompted me [yet again] to qualify my “preferences” in something he asked advice about… namely audio stuff. More specifically, studio reference monitors for his “home studio.”
The universal answer would obviously be: “it depends”
But you know me, regardless of the truth in that statement, I’d still like to try to do the math (figuratively) and try to come up with a real world argument instead of the cop-out “it depends” answers people love to give. Of course I’ll still probably end up saying it depends ether way, but at least I’ll try to make the situation clearer – and hopefully more conducive to make an informed decision on.
