It’s a learning day for me as I’m installing MovableType 3.31 for my high school friend Dawn. I was originally going to install MovableType 2.661 — which is what I’m using to post this entry — but I figured now was the best time to experiment. Well, technically college is the best time to experiment, but I digress. Ummm. Dawn has been living abroad in Amsterdam for the last year or so and she’s set to expand her horizons on the internets. I’m playing the part of technical guru. Rob Schneider will be playing the part of Deuce Bigalow, of course.

In other news, I’ve been passively scanning in a cache of photographs that I brought in from Houston two weeks ago. I’m about thisclose to deciding that my printer scanner combo is a better printer than it is a scanner. Take a look for yourself and you can decide if shelling out $79 of your hard-earned cash for the HP PSC 1401v All-In-One Printer Scanner Copier is worth it. I bought it from K-Mart, no less. Yeah, $79 seems cheap. It is cheap. These images have been despeckled and auto color corrected with Adobe Photoshop 7.0. It is fairly evident that the auto color correction feature in Photoshop is by no means an exact science. I tend to think it always adds too much green. I cropped off the non-photo parts of the Polaroid so you won’t see the traditional off-set border that distinguishes a polaroid from any other photograph. As far as what these pictures are of? I had an extra couple packs of unused polaroid film lying around one evening when a friend of my sister’s came by. I must’ve also had a couple extra six-packs of beer lying around next to the polaroids. So, ahem, you put two and two together and you get a photo set that features my obnoxious bedroom from the 1990 region of temporal space and two people drinking beer. Yay for beer and polaroids.
