Almost famous, again

I made Andrew Sullivan's "The View from Your Window" again:

He captioned it incorrectly. I twas actually taken at 00:05 -- i.e., 5 minutes past midnight. The orangish color is from the tungsten filament light bulbs -- while they appear light to your eye, they are really orangish. Your brain is pretty smart and adjusts for this (and for fluorescent, or mercury vapor, or even sunny versus cloudy sunlight.)

So, that's the Santa Monica office and the LA apartment....next stop, Lompoc!

Nice. I guess I'll have to do a post about my brushes with near Internet fame.

Now, now, there'll be none of that -- I can't have you ratcheting up the pressure to post!

Hello?
Is there an echo in here?

Yep, there seems to be an echo in this cavernous empty space.

Yes, Virginia, Jim may occasionally post here. But you can too!

I've been offering up my unique brand of drivel on several poor bloggers' sites. I figured maybe I ought give people a chance for a little intellectual vengence. Plus I wanted a place to bore people with my pictures. With some luck feelings will be hurt, egos bruised, and sensibilities violated. Frequently. With great luck they won't be my feelings, ego, or sensibilities. But somehow I doubt it will work out that way. I absolutely guarantee that spelling and grammer will be heinously butchered, with great frequency. There are two acceptable ways for you to respond: Laugh -- outloud or otherwise Drill me with an acerbic comment "Lay on, MacDuff..." Jim

On Jott Posts

The great thing about Jott is the absolute ease of making a quick post. Yes, it looks like I'll be running up the post volume for a little bit -- until the novelty, predictably, wears off. The bad thing is that the voice to text transcription is not as accurate (precise?) as I'd like. I'll try to clean things up when I can. The listen button will link you to my original, vocal, ramble. Sometimes , that might be more intelligible. (But often times not...) Most of the time they'll be full of background clutter as I'm sure I'll be driving when I make most of these calls. J
