Summertime and the living is easy

It starts like this

Even though there was no wind, we put up the sails for shade from the sun

Sat back and enjoyed snacks and drinks

...and ended the day like this

Spoise - the new noise

Spoise - a new word is born
noun (alt hip-hop spelling: spoize)

I hereby claim the above word and definition to be entirely made up by me. The thought came to me when I was sitting on a porch the other night. It was a beautiful summer night and an amazing thunderstorm was starting to roll in. Nearby I could hear this digital "brrroing" every so often.

And that's how words get made....

Balconville ...the good life

Below are some of my v600 pics of my forays, but before I get into it, a technical problem arose with my phone. After trying to transfer the pics from my v600 to my PC, weird things kept happening: 'processing failed' when using motorola's mobile phone tools, and 0 entries when just using the bluetooth OBEX transfer.

After consulting god (ie. google) I figured out that the US telco carriers probably screwed something up for me. So I removed the battery for 30 seconds and voila! So, without further ado....
