Getting Sloshed with Style / Typepad Microblog

Filler. Shameless, Pointless Filler. I'm really a very bad person. May 27, 2011
But I have a feed on MyOpera to enter, and a desire to not watch my page crash. Again. So I'm going to be sure that this feed has something in it. The picture below might look familiar, because you've seen a smaller version of it in my gallery on DeviantArt, or something close to being a smaller version of it, perhaps. I might have trimmed slightly […]

Myopic Midnight Special / Joseph Dunphy posted a reply: The pool already has its first image, though the system doesn't seem convinced of this. See the second image in the pool for further explanation.
What are the plans, boss? September 15, 2009
Myopic Midnight Special / Joseph Dunphy posted a new topic: Don't you love it when somebody addresses himself in the second person? Wondering if that's worse than doing so in the third? OK, here's the plan. The initial shots are technically, not going to be the best. The focus of my blog is going to be life during that time from when the sky s […]

Morning glory ... September 21, 2009
UPDATED I look through my old files lately and i find that one, which is very similar to one that was here before, but previously i didn't notice that little light smudge on the sky on this particular shot. I'm not sure what it is, first I thought it was just a jet or aeroplane of some sort. But that smudge appear only on that one photo, and I shoo […]

Night, full moon, cloudy. 2 minute exposure, red and green-gelled strobe-flash. The overall glow-y softness was caused by condensation on the lens accumulating over the course of the exposure. Bigger than your monitor […]

Typepad Comment Stream

Myopic Midnight Special / Joseph Dunphy commented on 'Taste of Chicago has to be all about the food, but needs to improve its efforts' May 27, 2011
"And perhaps some of the jaded mentality stems from those who live here who see the same booths year after year." Personally, I'd say that the "jaded mentality" of which you speak stems from the fact that the Taste offers little than fast food at high prices. It's been much ado about nothing for years, and people are finally adm […]

The Disqus comment feed is grossly malformed, and yes, I have spoken with what passes for Support at Disqus about that. All that they were willing to do was make something akin to a canned sales pitch for an unrelated product which they were trying to move. Truly pathetic.

What you'll need to do, once you arrive at the other end of one of the links in the feed, is trim off everything between the single quote and the close paranthese to the left of the hash mark (#), and then go to the resulting url. That, and uninstall Disqus from your own blogs, to spare your own visitors this kind of nonsense.

Monday Never Comes: Joseph Dunphy’s Soapbox

Today's Moment in Corporate Spin June 13, 2014
I just read Whole Foods to Chobani: Please Leave on Inc.com, and was fascinated by the ethics of the blogger. This is what we see, right under the title: "Is it possible to get too successful for Whole Foods? The grocery chain's latest move to stop shelving the Greek yogurt brand begs the question." Oooh ... boo, hiss. Poor entrepreneurs, oppr […]

Star Simpson's first interview on the Boston airport LED sweatshirt scare November 4, 2008
Following up on A little reality intruding on the spin: The Star Simpson Incident: I recently came across this video on BoingBoing. A few commercials come before the interview ...... which is memorable. Let's take a good look at the "lump of putty" the Massachussetts state police reported seeing in Ms. Simpson's hands, one which she says […]
WikiCafe: Can you say "hypocrisy"? August 9, 2008
Metacafe is one of Youtube's competitors, a video hosting service that is a distant second to Youtube in popularity (if even that), which is perhaps best known for the number of women one can see naked on it without needing to log in. Having thus distinguished itself in one way, Metacafe decided to stand out in another, a few months ago. It decided to b […]
I did not know that! May 4, 2008
I discovered something remarkable today. For all of these ... months ... I've been under the misguided impression that I was living in and blogging from Chicago, when, in fact, I've been in Southern India the whole time. Why, you could have knocked me over with a feather, but Alexa couldn't possibly be wrong, could it? Let's take a look a […]

A lesson from today's fire June 21, 2010
Note: I'll proofread this and fix the tenses tomorrow. I get up at before sunrise, so this is quite late for me.-----As I came back from my hike today, about 2 1/2 hours ago, I noticed that I was hearing a lot of sirens, more than I had ever heard before. Far more. Not being in the Fire Department, nor seeing any flames coming out of my building, I deci […]

Some more photomanipulation December 7, 2007
Another piece, one that I'll play around with a little more, from my gallery space on DeviantArt. Let's call this one of the gifts of poverty. Maybe.What I would really like, among so many other things many of which I would like even more, is access to a darkroom, but I can't afford that, so I have to rely on Osco, which means assembly line se […]
Pincushion of the week August 1, 2007
I started an add-on to my previous post with the words "On an unrelated note, let's ponder with wonder and amazement the fact that this managed to become a featured video on Youtube. Slow week, boys?", thinking that there was too little going on to justify devoting an entire post to this. How wrong I was, but this certainly isn't the firs […]

The Time Warp Cafe

It's about time, isn't it?
I have, for the last few years, been dragged away from this blog, leaving it in the state you would have seen it in until a few minutes ago, before I added this post - a tentative ring return post with no ring memberships the only content, and even that...
Return to Your Ring
If you entered my sites and groups from a webring via The Time Warp Cafe, its homepage or the associated Tribe.net profile, you should see a navbar for your ring below. If you don’t, that’s probably because either Webring.com has merged some more rings or because you entered my sites...

Where are we, today? / Supplicants / Preface, Part One March 17, 2011
Take that title as a warning - those who don't read the preface of books won't care for this post. I probably wouldn't read it, myself, if I hadn't written it. But if you're the sort of person who likes to know what somebody is up to as he's writing something, then maybe you'll enjoy this. If so, I'm flattered by your […]

Since there is always at least one person who doesn't get this ... this is an archived copy of a post from the previous copy of this blog, on Livejournal. Please do not misquote me, and say that I'm saying that Deadjournal has been censoring its users. As far as I'm concerned, at the moment, Deadjournal is very, very cool. Livejournal, not so […]

Six Times / My Former Journal at Mog

Would be Sidewiki Post April 28, 2011
I recently tried to post the following comment in the Sidewiki page for Drone Zone on SomeFm. I think you will agree that this is hardly the nastiest commentary ever posted. No surprise there, I've been a fan of the channel for years. The post that my comment links to, links right back to Drone Zone, which is fitting because it is a post about Drone Zon […]
Welcome, welcome February 9, 2011
So, funny story. I have this sort of nightlife blog that I'm starting up, and one day, POOF! Just like magic, it completely disappears, even though it had nothing on it that could really offend much of anybody. "No problem", I think, "for I have backed up my work". Only for reasons known only to the evil gods of computer science, tho […]
Something that I'm playing around with somewhere else February 9, 2011
Yes, it's a photo. I was having fun with adobe, decided to post some of the fun to my site at DeviantArt and share a little of it here.

No, thinking about one channel ...... http://somafm.com/play/dronezone which I sometimes put on when I'm ready to go to sleep, very softly so it doesn't keep me up, and such interesting dreams I get doing that. It's a "Sounds of Space" like […]

All is Quiet, I'm Afraid October 15, 2013
No progress to report, yet, but that isn't going to stop me. For a variety of reasons (most of which we need not discuss in detail, on this blog), I didn't have a chance to post notices of events in Chicago, but one reason does merit mentioning: I don't know...
