Or, skeeze up any sort of a smart phone, those have decent cameras in them and even without a plan will generally work where there's wifi, and you can hook one up to your computer somehow and take pics with it. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-64893875789337852482017-03-01T19:01:42.093-06:002017-03-01T19:01:42.093-06:00*I mean, maybe I'll buy a camera soon for unde...*I mean, maybe I'll buy a camera soon for under $30<br />That first line read like a skeeze for a camera; nothin' fancy, any camera would do...'preciate it!<br />Now that I think of it; I'm going to try to find one for under $10 online...something that has "yesterday's" specs on it, like VGA quality pictures; how friggin clear does my egg dish need to be to make my readers mouth's water, 20 megapixels?Daniel McKenna IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157964564856145960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-10504939913394933932017-03-01T18:55:58.625-06:002017-03-01T18:55:58.625-06:00Yeah, maybe a camera is coming soon for me, nothin...Yeah, maybe a camera is coming soon for me, nothing fancy, less than $30, so that I can take a picture of my actual egg dish, which prepares in under a minute plus the time it takes to fry the eggs...<br />A schoolteacher guy I met on the ferry was talking about how kids these days are not bothering to remember things that they learn, only getting better at finding the info on their smart phones...so, could these young tourists have decided not to rely upon their memories, which, in their esteem is less reliable than their phones? Or (my guess) do they have such pride in their latest high tech gadgets and the status that just the mere possession of imparts, that the are thinking: "I pay extra every month for full GPS based coverage through the GuideDog app, and supposedly I can even have it highlight where my friends are on the map; can't wait to play with that feature...I could ask someone for directions, but that would ruin the little "video game" experience I'm having in trying to find Lafitt's...Daniel McKenna IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157964564856145960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-48433971831791336232017-02-28T16:07:55.393-06:002017-02-28T16:07:55.393-06:00That dish you found is interesting, because it'...That dish you found is interesting, because it's boiled eggs that appear to have then been bakes or fried. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650160678722829210.post-83986396918232207262017-02-27T22:30:59.677-06:002017-02-27T22:30:59.677-06:00Anyone in their right mind gets out the Yellow Pag...Anyone in their right mind gets out the Yellow Pages that's in the drawer in the desk or night stand in the hotel, looks at the maps in there, and figures out the "lay of the land" and memorizes it so when they go out they know where they are and can find things. If you live in an area, then it's the Thomas Guide in most places, some places it's the "Gazetteer" and in Hawaii it's Bryan's Sectional Maps. But phone books are good for having maps in them too. <br /><br />"Be Last" can work .... I used to buy and sell at electronics surplus swap meets and used to feel bad about not getting there super-early every time, until I realized that the good stuff percolates out at an even rate all through the day, mainly because the sellers don't know shit about setting up displays and often some really good stuff won't even get taken out to put where people can see it until the last hour or so. So "be last" can sure work. <br /><br /><br />alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.com
