I guess that googleYahoo! is picking up on the words “chocolate,” and “fountain” on my flickr account, because the only ads I see for that page in flickr are for Chocolate Fondue Fountains.
Which, I think, look very cool, although I wouldn’t want to clean one after an event.
I didn’t realize that there were no less than three manufacturers of chocolate fountains in the United States.
Basically, it was an idea that Yuriko and I bantered about over IM for about 15 minutes. Then we borrowed a camera and some equipment from Dan. We shot principal footage in Chinatown over the course of an hour and a half, with one reshoot for audio. Editing and titling took longer since we all have day jobs, but it probably could have been done in a day.
Julie did the translations for the signs, because, well, she’s Chinese.
I think we have a better handle on it now, so the next one won’t take as long to get out.
I went to Best Buy to get a CD/DVD lens cleaner for the PlayStation2. Brought it home, managed to cut my way through the packaging without injuring myself, and popped it in.
I get the “Disc Read Error” and I can’t run the cleaning track.
My Playstation 2’s acting up. I’m surprised that it lasted this long, since it was the first revision of the hardware at launch. Some of its brothers had drive issues that rendered them useless years ago. They fixed that, or at least I would hope so, considering that there are twelve revisions of the hardware that have come out since then.
Yes, twelve. Yes, I know they don’t say anything about that in the pamphlet. I wouldn’t advertise I was fixing things, either.
So, my PlayStation 2 is acting funny. Perhaps it’s merely following the programming of all Sony products past warranty and post announcement of their successor. Maybe I need to buy a new one.
Or, perhaps I just need to buy a lens cleaner and give that a shot. I’m going to go against conventional wisdom and try the cheaper option first.
Sony says that they sold ninety million PlayStation 2s worldwide. Almost a hundred million PlayStation 2s, which are enough to make a really bitchin’ supercomputer, if everyone just stopped playing Madden. Of course, with that much hardware out there, accidents are bound to happen.
I would take a guess that at least half a million Playstation 2s are sitting in landfills, tossed by upset parents, dumped for defective drives, ruined by failed modchip installs, shot in the line of duty (in Texas, no doubt), lost in natural disasters, or just there because they don’t work anymore.
I know they’re not all in the same landfill, but wouldn’t that be a sight?
Anyone else think it’s strange great that our metrobuses are being repainted as giant hearses as the advertising campaign for Six Feet Under? I would have a decent picture of this, but it was dark, and far away.
