I've been making LiveJournal-sized icons (100 x 100 px) out of my photos. They're pretty addicting, little art pieces. Getting just the right part of a photo that will stand on its own. I made 35 of the suckers last night (they're still .psd files) and now I don't know if I want to add text to them, or leave them as is, or what. I'll probably share them with the LJ community and anyone else who wants them, maybe along with some larger backgrounds/textures I've made.
This, from Overheard in New York, is a good one. Well, they're all good, but I commuted on the Long Island RailRoad for 8 years in the '70s and this is so true. The LIRR, when faced with not being able to meet their schedules most days, simply changed the schedules by adding 5-10 minutes to each trip, and still couldn't be on time.
"Conductor: Thank you for riding the Long Island Railroad. We bring you yesterday's technology tomorrow!--LIRR"
Feeling:
A conductor with a sense of humor?
ReplyDeleteA lot of them are funny. The subway has many funny ones and back in the '70s, I remember an LIRR conductor announcing cities at random, including San Francisco, which of course, a NYC and Long Island commuter train doesn't go anywhere near. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your weather. Today is the first day of fall and it's 100 degrees here. What is that about?
ReplyDeleteEgads. Heat is no way to greet fall. At least we've been comfortably in the '70s to low '80s. :)
