Revisiting an old idea

Some time ago (February 29, if Blogger is to be believed), I posted about putting art on my office wall, and Debi even asked me to post a photo of the final arrangement.

Six months later, I got around to taking the picture. So here it is.

Art arrangement (office wall)
Yes, I know they're not quite square to each other.

Sorry for the brevity of this post. Lots to do - gearing up for another consulting project, a quick trip to Washington, DC on Monday, and a day at the American Le Mans Series race at Mosport tomorrow, with my brother. Should be fun, first time I will have ever been there, even though it's only about an hour away.

If you're interested, this video tells you a bit about the race and the place. I'll be fully tooled up with two cameras, two memory cards and a roll of film, so with a bit of luck I might have a few good photos to post. Or possibly a bunch of really, really blurry ones.

Saturday morning after the snow.

Pecking away on the laptop, as I do, while thinking a bit about shoveling last night's somewhat anticlimactic winter storm out of the driveway. Thinking about it, I said. Not doing it.

Second cup of coffee, and hunger's setting in. Computers and breakfast... a combination that might reasonably result in this kind of nonsense:

egg and chips
Egg and chips, of course.

One might argue that I should be working on my government funding agency report, rather than taking silly photos like that one. One making such an argument would, however, get absolutely no sympathy from me. I am an accomplished, unapologetic and highly inventive procrastinator. Today's efforts have reached new heights, through the use of various tweaky applications such as Vexer, the bewildering Djuhn, and even dear old IrfanView:

ensquarement
Djuhn, followed by cut 'n paste, followed by Vexer. More or less.

One might attempt it.
Some lame mixed media thing, scanned and hacked to bits, then coloured with Vexer.

the lost manuscript
The same thing again, grayscaled and sepia'd and processed in IrfanView, etc. etc. etc.

Deadlines? What deadlines?
