I think that almost every day. I never get around to it.

Biggest Print Yet
Random bit to start off with, apparently none of my posts from Long Beach got posted… um… I feel bad about that, I’ve looked in drafts but not found them there.
Anyway, I’ve been for some time now trying to figure out what my first print on the 17″x40′ roll of Ilford Gallerie Gold Fibre Silk. Couple of options presented themselves, a standard 16×20 or a panoramic 16×36. In the end I decided to run off my most popular print “Man in Car” at 16×20. The image quality is absolutely incredible. Unfortunately I somehow managed to get it both crooked on the paper and not 16×20. But… first try.

Hi, I’m a Mac. And I’m a PC.
So, I’ll admit, I was somewhat looking forward to Microsoft’s $300 million ad campaign with Gates and Seinfeld. Not really because I expected to be hugely swayed by the arguments but because I thought the goal was direct competition with Apple’s Mac v. PC ads… which are funny.
Well, first one last week:
It was 3x as long as the Mac v. PC ads and didn’t actually have any sort of competition… but, I came very close to laughing at a couple of points. I didn’t laugh, but I came very close.
This week:
9x longer than the Mac v. PC ads. I intellectually thought of laughing at a couple of what I was able to realize were jokes… they just weren’t funny.
Now, I’m not going to weigh in on if this ad is effective at whatever Microsoft’s goal is. But… I was hoping with Seinfeld and Gates it would be funny. I was disappointed.
