El monasterio de Sant Cugat es una antigua abadía benedictina situada en la localidad catalana de San Cugat del Vallés (España). El monasterio, construido en el siglo IX, destaca por su impresionante claustro. Fue el monasterio de mayor importancia de todo el condado de Barcelona. Los orígenes del monasterio se sitúan en el siglo IX cuando se decidió unir la iglesia que contenía los restos de San Cucufate o San Cucufato (Cugat en catalán) con una fortificación anexa. La pequeña iglesia, construida en el siglo V, era un pequeño recinto de planta cuadrada alrededor de la que se cree existía ya una comunidad de monjes. Sin embargo, no se tienen noticias documentadas de la existencia de esta comunidad hasta el año 878. En los inicios del siglo X la importancia del monasterio empieza a ser notable. Los abades de San Cugat tomaban parte en actos de relevancia y las posesiones de la comunidad se amplían llegando a tener tierras desde la zona del Penedés hasta la del Montseny. En el año 985, el ataque de las tropas sarracenas capitaneadas por Almanzor afectó al monasterio aunque no causó daños excesivamente graves. El abad que regía el monasterio en esa época, Odón, inició las obras de reconstrucción del cenobio. A finales del siglo XI, Berenguer Ramón II dispuso que el monasterio quedara sometido al de San Ponce de Tomieres, en la zona de la Provenza, lo que creó discrepancias entre los monjes de Sant Cugat. El abad de San Ponce se trasladó hasta el monasterio catalán y aquellos monjes que estaban en desacuerdo con su gestión fueron expulsados. Sin embargo, el obispo de Barcelona reclamó sus derechos sobre el monasterio que volvió a quedar sometido a la diócesis barcelonesa. Fue en ese periodo cuando más se ampliaron los dominios de San Cugat. Quedaron sujetos al mismo los monasterios de Santa Cecília, el de Sant Llorenç del Munt, Sant Pau del Camp, Sant Pere de Clará y el de Sant Salvador de Breda. A mediados del siglo XII se iniciaron las obras de construcción de un nuevo monasterio. Se amplió la iglesia existente en una obra que se prolongó en el tiempo, ya que su construcción no finalizó hasta el año 1337.
En el año 1350 se iniciaron las obras de fortificación del monasterio. El rey Pedro III amplió esta fortificación añadiendo algunas torres de guardia. Sin embargo, en este periodo se inició el declive de Sant Cugat. El abad Pere Busquets suprimió la elección directa del abad por parte de los monjes del monasterio. Los nuevos abades eran nombrados desde la diócesis y algunos de ellos ni siquiera visitaban el monasterio. Aunque se siguieron realizando algunas obras, San Cugat ya no tenía el poder de antaño. Durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española, el monasterio fue ocupado por las tropas del Archiduque Carlos, ocupación que causó graves desperfectos en el edificio. Se llevó a cabo una restauración que finalizó en 1789.
En 1835 los monjes abandonaron el monasterio; el abandono fue causado en parte por la ley de desamortización que obligaba a las órdenes religiosas a abandonar sus pertenencias, y en parte por el asalto de un grupo de habitantes de la zona. Sant Cugat quedó abandonado hasta 1851, año en el que la Comisión de Monumentos Históricos decidió restaurarlo.En 1931 fue declarado Monumento Histórico Artístico.
Tal vez lo más destacado de todo el conjunto del monasterio de San Cucufato es su impresionante claustro. Se trata de un claro ejemplo del arte románico catalán y fue construido en el siglo XII. En el siglo XVI se le añadió un segundo piso y se construyó también el atrio de entrada. Con una longitud de más de 30 metros, el claustro es obra del artista Arnau Gatell. Su planta es casi cuadrada y tiene arcos de medio punto, apoyados sobre pares de columnas. Cada una de estas columnas está decorada con capitel es finamente elaborados, con detalles variados que van desde la representación de animales a las escenas bíblicas. Se pueden contra 72 pares de capitales. Otro elemento destacado es la basílica, construida en este caso en estilo gótico. El edificio, de 52 metros de largo por 23 de ancho, consta de tres naves cubiertas con bóvedas sostenidas por columnas. Llama la atención el rosetón de 8,2 metros de diámetro, muy parecido al de la catedral de Barcelona y a la de Tarragona. La iglesia contiene un retablo gótico, conocido como el retablo de Todos los Santos, realizado en 1375 por el artista Pere Serra.
The monastery of Sant Cugat is a former Benedictine abbey located in the Catalan town of Sant Cugat del Valles (Spain). The monastery, built in the ninth century, noted for its impressive cloister. It was the most important monastery throughout the county of Barcelona. The origins of the monastery is located in the ninth century when he decided to join the church containing the remains of St. Cucufate or San Cucuphas (Cugat in Catalan) with a fortification attached. The small church built in the V century, was a small square enclosure around which people believe there was already a community of monks. However, there are reports documented the existence of this community until the year 878. In the early tenth century the importance of the monastery began to be noticeable. The abbots of San Cugat took part in important events and possessions of the community is coming to have land extending from the Penedes area to Montseny. In the year 985, the attack of the troops commanded by Mansur Saracens hit the monastery but did not damage too severe. The abbot, who ruled the monastery at that time, Odo began the reconstruction of the monastery. In the late XI, Berenguer Ramon II decreed that the monastery becomes subject to St Ponce de Tomieres, in the Provence area, creating discrepancies between the monks of Sant Cugat. The abbot of St. Ponce moved to the Catalan monastery and the monks who disagreed with his administration were expelled. However, the bishop of Barcelona claimed their rights over the monastery which was once again subjected to the diocese of Barcelona. It was during this period when most were extended domains San Cugat. Were liable to the same monastery of Santa Cecilia, the Sant Llorenç del Munt, Sant Pau del Camp, Sant Pere de Clará and Sant Salvador de Breda. A mid-twelfth century began construction of a new monastery. Existing church was expanded in a work that lasted over time, since its construction was not completed until 1337.
In the year 1350, work began defense of the monastery. King Pedro III extended this fortification by adding a few guard towers. However, in this period began the decline of Sant Cugat. The abbot Pere Busquets abolished the direct election of the abbot by the monks. The new abbots were appointed from the diocese and some of them even visited the monastery. Although it continued to make some plays, San Cugat longer had the power of old. During the War of Spanish Succession, the monastery was occupied by troops of the Archduke Charles, an occupation that caused serious damage to the building. It undertook a restoration that ended in 1789.
In 1835 the monks left the monastery, the abandonment was caused in part by the law that forced confiscation of religious orders to abandon their belongings, and in part by the assault of a group of locals. Sant Cugat was abandoned until 1851, when the Landmarks Commission decided restaurarlo.En 1931 was declared a Historic Artistic Monument.
Perhaps the highlight of the whole of the monastery of San Cucuphas is its impressive cloister. This is a clear example of Catalan Romanesque art and was built in the twelfth century. In the sixteenth century added a second floor and also built the entrance hall. With a length of over 30 meters, the cloister is work by the artist Arnau Gatell. Its plan is almost square and has round arches, supported on pairs of columns. Each of these columns is decorated with capitals is finely produced, with detail varied, ranging from animals to represent biblical scenes. You can expect 72 pairs of capital. Another feature is the basilica, built in Gothic style in this case. The building, 52 meters long by 23 wide, has three naves covered with vaults supported by columns. It is striking rosette of 8.2 meters in diameter, much like the cathedral of Barcelona and Tarragona. The church contains a Gothic altarpiece, known as the altar of All Saints, made in 1375 by artist Pere Serra.

My cat was bitten by a radioactive cockroach
Image by Steve took it
My cat was bitten by a radioactive cockroach. That really is the only logical explanation for her transformation the last few years. Just like Spider Man gained his supernatural powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider, she has become the Amazing Cockroach Cat.
TC (named after "True Colors", the Cindy Lauper tune) is going on 20 years old now. I'm considering changing her name to Skeletor. It has been almost three years since she was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid problem requiring pills and tests and surgery and all kinds of indignities for the rest of her life. After having gone down that road with a puppy that did not survive long anyway, I decided she had lived a long life and I'd simply spoil her, feed her good, spare her the daily medical regime and give her the most comfortable senior years possible. Again, that was almost three years ago.
That must be fairly close to when she was bitten. The first of her cockroach powers appeared shortly after when she began to transform from my neat, fussy, tidy cat into a creature that can tolerate -- no thrive -- in all manner of filth. She pretty much stopped cleaning herself. Her feet stink, she usually trails dingleberries, has a constant secretion of goo coming from her eyes and keeps a perpetual hunk of dried cat food clinging to her nose. I no longer have a small out-of-the way liter box discretely available for her use, but an entire room covered with a tarp and three big litter boxes hoping one might appeal to her. And once in a while one does.
The second cockroach power TC developed was an insect-like bony exoskeleton. Petting her is like touching some kind of tiny crooked, hardened washboard with a tail. She has weighed less than three pounds for over a year, consuming three tins of cat food and a cup of half-and-half a day. Each night she selects a new location to vomit about three quarters of that, which I usually discover in the morning before I get my shoes on.
The third cockroach power she has gained of course, is that she will never die. I've taken her to the vet several times wondering if she is suffering, but she seems to still be hanging in there enjoying her new cockroach life. She's actually become far more affectionate now than in any of her previous 16 years as a cat, purring and climbing on my lap and doing her best stinky cockroach-cute impression. I can't help thinking that is just her reaction to knowing how much I'd like to get new carpet though.
Anyway, here's my TC after one of her baths she must take now, drying out in the sun, and planning how to how use her cockroach powers today.
7/12/09 update - I posted this photo over two years ago. My cat passed away shortly after that. She didn't quite make 20 years but had a great life and enjoyed playing and hindfooting with her toys right to the end. I do miss her.
Thanks to all of people who empathized with one of the toughest decisions there is to make - how long to let an elderly animal live and when to put it down - especially when you can't talk to a cat to hear its wishes, and even humans have vast differences in how much they want to live or die if in pain.
In the end the pills did not seem to do anything and giving them was such an ordeal that we skipped the thyroid medication and just kept taking her to the vet to tell us what to do. Twice we packed her up, said our good-byes and took her into the vet who said she was still hanging in there and no need to kill her yet. Again, its a tough tough tough thing to go through - and sometimes you have to laugh through the tears .
Thanks to all for the considerate concerns - and best of luck to the many of you who have faced similar difficult situations. Take care all.

(cross posted to my site/blog/lifestream/whatever christophercornelius.com/wp/2009/07/04/a-tour-of-my-desktop/ )
first i want to point out that this is on a 42" lcd hdtv in the living room and i use a wireless kb and mouse...
second, pretty much everything you see is Yahoo! Widgets, Rainmeter, ObjectDock, and Stickies... if you want your desktop like mine, just google those names...
on the left is our budget for the month using Stickies, but, if you look, it is a bit transparent and you will see it is actually the top sticky atop a few others, but this is the only open one - they roll up... (i hide windows desktop icons under my sticky notes...) you can see i have another little note in the middle of the screen, at the top...
beneath the budget are a couple icons of stuff i need to do - check out the PlayOn app, put Iron Man on my mom's psp, etc.... it's sorta' my to-do stack... and the bottom left hand corner - that little blue thing - i can drag a file onto that and it will auto-magically upload it to the 'stuff' directory on my website...
ok, at the bottom edge is ObjectDock - ya' know, like the dock on a mac... it is hidden until i hover my mouse at the bottom of the screen and, as my mouse moves, the icons under it enlarge... in this pic, i clicked on 'APPS' and it opened the assortment of apps i keep handy... not pictured is the other ObjectDock, which i have set up as the system tray/task bar - it's hidden on the left... i have used ObjectDock (paid version) for years and can't live without it... it does many more tricks i won't get into here...
ok, the news headlines are Rainmeter - which is like a widget engine, but not for the faint-of-heart - it is very complex to customize and you need to have some coding knowledge... as you see, i have rss feeds from home-barista for coffee geek discussions, playstation lifestyle for ps3/psp stuff and google for "real" news...
in the middle, since i love love love photography, a Yahoo Widget showing recent popular photos posted on DeviantArt on the left and another Yahoo Widget on the right with recent popular photos posted to Flickr... they are set to change every few minutes... i leave room since the photos come in all shapes and sizes... both have very impressive customization settings as far as what kind of content to show... for instance, the deviantart widget, of course, has tons more types of art than photography and the flickr widget can show your own stream, favorites, photos from groups and/or contacts, and you can even use it to upload to flickr...
at the top, pretty obvious, Yahoo Widgets for date/time, cpu usage, and upload/download speed...
which brings us to the right edge... i have been a webcam junkie for years and this is a Yahoo Widget called WebImages - several instances of it, of course... i have used several methods for desktop webcam monitoring and this one blows all the others away... the depth of options and customization can be intimidating at first and there is a bit of a learning curve, but it is SOOOO worth it... the radar is the local weather radar, of course... the rest are cams that update once a minute... i have each set up to sort of a theme and each contains more than one cam - when it updates, it switches to the next cam that one monitors... for instance, the top is local - alternating between a cam in cloudcroft and one in las cruces... the next down is home - albuquerque - four different cams and once a minute, it shows a different view... the next three are assorted cool/interesting places - cams in las vegas, italy, california, and others - all three contain a list of all my favorite cams around the world and, once a minute (or whatever i choose to set it to from once a second to once a day) it cycles to the next cam in its list... or, if one of them has something really interesting going on, i stop the cycling and set it to update in near-real-time and each one has a button when you mouse over it to enlarge it as big as you like... you can hit another button to save the current image, even...
but, now i'm gushing ;P
oh, and the very bottom one is NASATV - the widget can stream the video, but, i just have it set to show a still every 15 seconds...
anyway... that's my desktop...

King of Clubs
Image by seriykotik1970
Life in the middle ages, we're usually told, was nasty, brutish, and short. Picture a medieval scene - Monty Python's knights clip-clopping by with their coconut shells, say, or the magnificently brooding cheekbones of Jonathan Rhys Meyers's Henry VIII - and a revolting peasant won't be far away, eking out a miserable existence before expiring in one of a variety of unpleasant and unhygienic ways.
But now one pharmacy chain would have us believe that there are lifestyle lessons to be learned beneath medieval England's scrofulous exterior. Our ancestors may have succumbed to pox and pestilence, but they did so, it seems, with lithe figures and unfurred arteries. Research shows the average medieval diet was a model for healthy living: low in saturated fats and transfats, high in vegetables, and topped off with a working life of invigorating outdoor exercise.
So should we all be following the Medieval Diet? Well, yes and no. We could do a lot worse than model ourselves on a prosperous medieval smallholder, eating pulses and wholegrains, home-grown fruit and veg, a little meat and fish, and no refined sugar, the whole lot washed down with weak ale (safer than drinking dirty water).
The diet of the average aristocrat, however, was more alarming. Conspicuous consumption was the order of the day: the wealthy shunned the peasant vegetables in favour of gigantic quantities of meat and fish (lots of it salted, thanks to the fact that fridges hadn't yet been invented), followed by elaborate sugary confections and creamy custards. And they cultivated a taste for expensive wines on top of their usual daily allowance of eight pints of beer.
That, of course, raises the important question of how much of world history can be explained by the ruling classes being drunk all the time. As for the medieval diet, the real lesson is of global importance: the rich have always eaten too much meat, salt and sugar, leaving the poor uncertain of being able to eat at all.
By Helen Castor, a medieval historian and author of Blood & Roses: the Paston Family and the Wars of the Roses.

Verandah Café - Mauretania
Image by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums
On board the RMS Mauretania, was housed this spectacular verandah café. It was situated on the boat deck where passengers could sit and drink their coffee in the open air - looking out to sea.
The Mauretania was built by the shipbuilders Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd, at the Wallsend shipyard and was one of the most famous ships ever built on Tyneside.

Swing ride - Hoppings
Image by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums
People enjoying themselves on the swing ride held at the Hoppings fair in Newcastle. 1940's
The Hoppings is a popular fair in the North East of England, held in the last full week of June every year on Newcastle's Town Moor, spanning around 40 acres of land.
The Hoppings started out as a Temperance Festival in 1882, when Newcastle Temperance organisations decided to revive the annual gatherings that they had previously held, but included different festivities to coincide, to counter-attract the 'Summer Race Meeting' at Gosforth Park, which was seen as a source of drunkenness.
It proved to be a great success and the fair is still being enjoyed to this very day.

Magic Kingdom - Joy of Pink

Quick photography tip. For sharp photos of landscapes, don't use f/2.8. F/8 is a much better choice. This image may look ok small, but it has a technical flaw. Its not very sharp. Through the magic of post processing I was able to recover some detail but it would have been much easier if I'd setup the camera correctly.

"Magic Yo-Yo" by Oke Rosgana
Image by docpop
The above panel is an excerpt from Oke Rosgana's 24 hour comic book, The Magic Yo-Yo.
Rosgana saw my tweets about our upcoming 24hr comic book day and thought it sounded fun, so he asked me if he could join in somehow. Since he lives in Indonesia, I told him he doesn't need our support, just go for it.
The end result is fantastic and charming... it also happens to be an origin story... of me... Doctor Popular... and how I learned to yo-yo.
How awesome is that?
Very.
It is very awesome.
You can read it on Flickr
Or download the 24 pg pdf file here.
I've also posted it as a cbz file and formatted as a printable booklet.
If you like Magic Yo-Yo, be sure to let @rosgana know.

My brothers and sister and I with our maternal cousins. We all look so young (especially me!) We had family reunions with them until the '80's. The last time we all got together like this was at my brother Will's wedding in 1988. I can't remember the last time I saw my cousins on my dad's side. I miss seeing the cousins, but even my siblings and I find scheduling frequent reunions difficult.

Bellagio Dancing Fountains
Image by 路上写真家
We were celebrating our wedding anniversary in Las Vegas. From Japan it was supposed to be a 12/hr flight but with stopovers it ended up being a 15/hr flight. Oh well. . . One of the touristy things we did upon arrival was watch the Bellagio Dancing Fountains! [more here: www.bellagio.com/attractions/fountains-of-bellagio.aspx] We stayed for a couple of the shows. This is the view from the rear/left of the fountains, rather than the front. Something different you don't often see. But along the boulevard/front is where all the "action" is at.

Zen Great workshop weekend! Here is Silver Efex Pro
We had a great one - thanks everyone for coming! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I got a real kick out of seeing people's results from the night before. People went home and tried all of this stuff for real and got some stunning results. On Twitter, check the the has #HDRWorkshop for a few samples. Thanks again for all the enthusiasm when you come to the classes - that is really nice of y'all.
Towards the end of the workshop yesterday, I showed off Silver Efex Pro. I like how this turned out! You can see more in my Nik Review here on the site! Below is one of the shots that I whipped up towards the end of the workshop to show off how cool (literally) Silver Efex Pro is!
Daily Photo - Zen Peaceful Iceland at Dusk
The soft magnetic blue of dusk lasts a good hour or more in Iceland. It's a nice time to relax into your right brain, move around freely, and take photos until you collapse in exhaustion.
In Reykjavik, there is a lake that freezes solid, or, at least, it appeared to be solid, every winter. I started walking slowly across really give it a test. Why not? During my scoot-fest, I found this wonderful little bridge.
I'm thinking of going to Iceland this year for the summer solstice (that day when it is 24 hours of sunlight)... sounds awesome! I can't imagine a 5 hour sunset followed IMMEDIATELY by a 5 hour sunrise!!

Barns, M-43
Image by joeldinda
Bought my breakfast at Sophia's in Grand Ledge a year ago, with a vague plan to get a photo on my way home. Took a few pics at the island park, most of which I probably didn't intend as black & whites, then headed home.
These barns--one's actually a collapsed corn crib, I think--are close to Grand Ledge. In fact, I've posted a photo of them before, some years back. I imagine there used to be a home at this location, but the farmer now lives across the street in a very attractive ranch house.
But I didn't use any of the GL pix. Since Joan and I are serious readers, our upstairs room is full of books and magazines. The house is small, so I sell on eBay and Amazon just to clear room on our shelves. The photo I posted to 366 Snaps documented the sales prep effort.

So I bought a new lens. The Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L. It should help for event photography, a few times I've felt pretty limited by my primes.
After buying it in the city I camped out on the post office steps and played around a bit. Taking test shots of people as they walked by. Tried out the 'macro' with the grain on the wall. I must've looked quite strange but an old man came up to me just as I was getting down. He told me he's seen me setting up my new toy and asked about the lens. We talked for a bit and he told me he played some instruments and sung opera. I believed him but he immediately demonstrated, started singing on the street. I asked him if he'd take part in my 100 strangers project but he was too shy, so instead we exchanged details and he said he'd send me some silly photos of himself.
I spotted this guy from across the tram tracks and quickly went up to him, side strafing a little to stay parallel. When I ask him for his photo he asked a few questions about why I was taking the photo and what I'd be doing with it. I thought he might say no, but once I'd answered his questions and I asked again he was into it. I fired off a few shots, enjoying the novelty of being able to zoom. He kept this stance the whole time like a pro. When I was done he was keen to see the pictures. We chatted a little more and he mentioned that he'd kind of heard of the 100 strangers project. I told him I'd be putting the photo up on my flickr account and as I was giving him the url he said that he was on flickr a bit. Pretty cool I thought.
So I totally under estimated DOF on wide angle lens. The shots I snapped off at 70mm had wonderful separation and threw the background well out. But these wide angle shots barely blurred the background at all, even at f/2.8. I've posted this shot to capture my inexperience with wide angle lenses... and so you can all enjoy the view.
By now I'd been wandering around the mall for a while. I'd noticed a quite overweight businessman, made eye contact with him a few times. Eventually I went over to where he was sitting and gave him my spiel. He declined but said he'd been following me around. He went on to let me know that I'd missed the a real stunner earlier, and that he'd almost called out but I'd been on the other side of the tourist information booth. I had a bit of a laugh at that.
TL;DR: New lens. Had opera sung at me. Photographed guy above. Suck at wide angle shots. Had a businessman watch me and let me know I'd missed a beauty. Met a male stripper.
This is the twenty second portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.

11/22/2004 - Monday: in Rome Roma, the Vatican, train to Florence Firenze
tags: italy
Monday Reality
Left hotel a bit late...not too bad. Tried to get on the subway but there was a line up the stairs. We were going to take a bus, but then we got a cab. 10 euros to take a cab two metro stops...I sort of think that wasn't strictly kosher...but maybe it was. it was still fun. We got to go under a tunnel that we saw yesterday during our ordeal march of being lost.
the idea was to catch the capucin crypts on the way to the vatican. But they were closed...still. so we slipped down back into the subway. We had used our single use tickets when we were turned back by the line at the Termini station, but we decided that the moral constraints were met, so we slipped through and re-used the tickets to get to the vatican. AFter all, we had gone through the gate, but we hadn't gotten on a train...
so the train left at 4:48ish, maybe 4:47...basically right on time ...
Off we rushed to the Vatican museum. We arrived at 10:00...and the english tour was at 10:30, so just enough time to get oriented and rest a bit before the ordeal by marbel floor!
We had a nice tour guide. First she showed us a sort of parchement view of the sistine chapel-two rulls of text and pictures with details of the different scenes. She would wind it down to get the next view.
This was fascinating...I am phenomenally underinformed of art and cultural matters...it is almost a cliche to say that, but egads it it true.
on the other hand, there are things we know today that were unknown 200 years ago. Amazingly...apparantly the whole forum area was under dirt until 18-something. So much dirt that only the tops of the columns were exposed. and even now much remains.
The archeologists cringe over the techniques used to clear what is now exposed. There have been several recent archeological 'campaigns' among the ruins of palatine hill that have excavated pre-roman huts. one of the write ups discussed the findings of 27 flakes of flint, indicating tool maing. So infering thngs based on bits of things found...which is the whole point of archeology.
And it made me realize that they are not done excavating Rome Roma...an odd thing to realize, since only a moment's consideration would reveal how obvious that is! There are Indian mounds that the archeologists are intentionally leaving alone for now, with the expressed plan of letting future archeologists examine them when they have better techniques.
my ears are popping...and the gps lost its lock...I then look out and realize we are going through a tunnel. ah...sense is made.
maybe...perhaps it wasn't a tunnel...I can't tell. several more episodes of pressure changes are occuring.
There are sliding head rests on the cabin walls in back of the seats. they are padded and have vertical supports so that you can lean on them to sleep without falling into the window, or onto your neighbor. they slide up and down to allow you to adjust to your preferences.
We didn't see the capucini crypt, because it was closed, and it was getting dark as we got on the train, but we are doing pretty well.
The vatican tour took two hours...and it seemed that we were moving much of the time. they have these slick radio receivors so you can hear the tour guide even if you are in the next room back.
I had a strong response to a tapestry depicting the slaughter of the chilidren by herod. One baby is being held, barely, by its mother and a soldier has a dagger to the child's heart. The baby is about to die. Other mother's are using their bodies to shield their infants. it is truly horrible.
damn! the pressure changes are really frequent, and amazingly annoying.
I downloaded a bunch of stuff from 'hex'-a friend of Jo and Schuyler's. I'm reading
how to build a reality that doesn't fall apart two days later...file:///Users/admin/wa/web/downlode.org/etext/how_to_build.html
I'm on the train...fighting sleep. I need to pee, but to do that I worry I'll have to wake the gentleman seated in front of the door to our compartment.
passing through orte...at 5:27:00---possibly even got a track point. I had a signal for a moment.
well..more than a moment, but not too long. there is crying in the hall....
The GPS showed us going 115 mph, for a bit. not just one observation. interesting. fast.
The hall of maps was cool because I realized it was, or could have been, not about art and instead was about the simple matter of managing an empire.
I enjoyed the museum, duh, and the Sistine chapel...and then we climbed the dome! I loved that! I truly loved it. We got to the top and I could see radio vatican and the quiet parts of the vatican and various 'stuff.' I don't know why, but seeing vatican radio made me happy.
We descended...heather waited while i ran about St. Peter's one more time. I went back into the catecombs...and reflected again at st. peter's grave, and the crypts of the popes. different passageway's were open from last time...you went in and out on different sides. Saturday we went through more passageways, past bits of monuments, even broken bits, supposedly the memorials for past popes there had been recovered via archeological digs and the like...little rooms, with gates, and some stones mounted on the walls.
Today I looked through a grate and down at a compartment that seemed to be set up as a small chapel. maybe a particularly holy pope was buried there.
When they embalm a pope, or remove anything from one, they send the bits to a particular church in room so the bits don't become relics.
I was struck by how clean and non-catacomb like the area was that we were allowed to tour. There were passageways that looked like they might get more 'creepy' small and twisty, but it was all clean...I guess marble does that for you.
Heather was whipped. We walked the .4 miles to cafe ruggio (is that it? The antipasto bar place by gellati millenium. it is in the Rick steve's book. We tried for it Saturday, but it was still closed, and we tried today, but closed Monday. Both faux paws (sic) could have been avoided if we had looked at the book and actually _read_ that listign first.
I have so many books and things that I don't really need...
Well Heather felt really crappy...but we ate at the little place by millenium gellati. It was great. The woman dished me up two plates. First a bowl of pasta, and then a plate with veal, mushrooms, zucchine, and peas with ham. It was in little bowls and I got to pick...heather had a panini. I was jsut positive that I was suffering eyes bigger than my head syndRome Roma, but
(and here the laptop powered down, I was writing on the train, and now it is the next day and some, 1:20 am on the 24th) I ate everything, and had a gellato after. And we went to the big 'M.' We found the M, but there was no metro...it was up another block. We metroed to the train station. Identified a train time, then grabbed our stuff at the hotel.
We spent time at the internet cafe DSC_4285.JPG, DSC_4286.JPG, DSC_4287.JPG ... They didn't support ssh! well I finally did send an email to folks via the webmail at work.
Then the train! The train was great. And we whisked into Florence Firenze. We wandered streets for a bit, then I got lock on the GPS, and knew we were .15 miles, and we wandered. I didn't remember the street name (via nazzionale, #10), but when we stumbled onto it Heather identified it. And we were a half block away.
Check in went smoothly. We fooled around, and then took to the streets. We ate at trattoria Sostanza-Troia (see p285 of Rick Steves). There were tour de france pictures on the walls, and signed photos dating back. We enjoyed it! A bottle of table wine. Tortellini with a house sauce, and then pot roast with beans. Heather had a bean salad and a salad.
Then we wandered back and bought a bottle of wine and some chocolate. Heather studied our books, and I sort of watched the Tony Gatuf movie Swing. I think it was in Italian with French subtitles. After all of that Art, and trying to read the pictures, I watched it in a different way. Paying attention to the cultural signifiers and all of that jazz. Having thoughts like 'why did he frame that shot that way? What does that use of open space say?" etc...

Pinhole Camera 1
Image by Adam_Wood
A few months back, I decided I needed a challenge. I had found a PDF of plans online for a cardboard pinhole camera, so I set about making one. It involved a lot of modification, fine tuning etc., but it's now at the stage where it's ready to test.
Being a packaging designer has it's advantages. Also having access to this little programme helped no end.
Will post photos when I've figure this sucker out. :) (By the way, it uses medium format film.)
