Snowed in tonight when I’d expected to be seeing TV Ghost at the Turf Club. Instead I’m home, drinking the last of the beer the now ex-boyfriend left in my fridge, and listening to Low’s “A Lifetime of Temporary Relief” - likely not the best choices, all things considered. Friday night pity party! How about Friday’s five good things instead?
- During and for some time after the production of Star Trek: The Motion Picture there was a Star Trek softball team! See who you can spot in the group photo.
- Eyeteeth highlights a great new project in New Orleans - I Wish This Was. Such a simple and elegant idea.
- I’ve been a huge fan of taking macro shots for years but had never thought of Rebekka’s alternative to buying an expensive macro lens - using a magnifying glass. Now I’ll have to play around with that.
- Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance, and the Camera Since 1870 - a broad mix of photographs from both unknown shutterbugs and internationally recognized artists at SFMOMA. Would love to see that up close and personal like.
- Good things are happening for my favorite art space in town - Things Heat Up (Literally) as the Soap Factory Preps for Upgrades
This last tidbit - not such a good thing so much as an utterly ridiculous one. Really people? Wow. ‘Toy robot detours traffic near Coors Field‘ - the bomb squad eventually blew up the little duder, because it had been ever so suspiciously cemented it to a post. Probably just someone’s idea of street art, to make passers-by smile. And the authorities had to go and get NOOCLEAR on its little ass. What a woeful waste of resources.

ooh, i also saw a tutorial on making a macro lens for your camera (and camera phone) with the lens from a pair of $1 reading glasses.
