The most important thing a man can know is that, as he approaches his own door, someone on the other side is listening for the sound of his footsteps.

enter the hipstamatic

For this Foto-Friday, I have to admit that I have an iPhone. And sometimes, that's actually pretty cool. The camera's one of the best things about it, and Hipstamatic - a little app that attempts to recreate an all-plastic cheapo snapshot camera from the early '80's - is one of the best things about the camera. For more, read Bill Barol's story on the actualization of Hipstamatic and my colleague JimRay's much-better weekend with the app.

I've had it for a while now, and I like it better than the iPhone's camera, because occassionally it's nudging me into shots like this:

That's the best one. Just stop reading now. It's the view from a bluff in Discovery Park.

The wall in the one hallway in my crib. Lucha mask from Oaxaca casting the shadow on a hand-painted post-Katrina sign that I picked up out of a ditch in New Orleans. That wall is cooler than I'll ever be.

The second home game of the M's season Death Spiral. They won this one. It seems so long ago.

I've got more, including a picture of some homemade beignets that messes with me like a Magic Eye, but I've gotta get back to work. If you have an iPhone, cop Hipstamatic. I'll put up a gallery at some point, Flicks is lonely.

flicks: the book sale

Yeah, that took forever.

Over on the new flicks page, there's a gallery from the always-awesome SPL book sale.

I posted about it way back in April.

SQSPC's pretty sweet with the lightbox, though I want to mess around and have it look like some of these pros.

nate burleson spits?

If'n that don't look just like a studio.Spotted over at Thig Nat's Physics blog.

After doing some digging, Nate - who got name-checked in the positive on the pound-for-pound Seattle anthem goes by 'New Balance', I guess. Not as good: Nate as New Balance's track with local emcee Wizdom. Old LQ video of that - 'Valley of Rain' - after the jump. I remember hearing that on the radio. Had no idea it was Nate, who has way better stage presence than Wiz in the clip. Guess performing in front of 60K most Sundays will chase off some jitters. Stay healthy, kid!

Here's a Mother's Day piece from the Times that starts with the Burleson boys that I read in the literal paper while wearing my fedora and sipping an egg cream.

I forget that Nate's only 26. Hope he has a great year; last time, he was the first domino.

the other draft this weekend

Sea Gals tryouts.

the Sea Gals and Blitz, ganked from Life as Art's flickr. What a horrible mascotThree observations and a lot more questions:

  • You can be an 18-year-old NFL cheerleader. You can't be an 18-year-old NFL player. I guess that makes sense, but for some reason it's a little mind-blowing. Just never thought about it before.
  • You only get a minute to try out? Wow, that's gotta be a horrible feeling. I don't know of anything I can do for a minute that I feel confident about after stopping. [Derail: I think I should be able to use the word 'Pause' here, and 'pause' in this and all scenarios should just refer to something sexual, like 'that's what she said', as opposed to being all homophobic.]
  • There are pre-audition workshops, which seems really thoughtful, and yet "You will need a black sleeveless bra top of your own to go with the shorts." Does every lady own a black sleeveless bra top? Is that a staple of the dancer's wardrobe?

no. bad flickr. no.

I really love flickr, and need to step my upload game up because of it, but come on.

I did not need to know that.

The GIS page for 'o hai' is the worst thing.
