Previous Day :: Next Day

jeeff: this is great. i went to a sea turtle retreat in the cayman islands and they really are something, especially the big ones.

in response to Travelogue

E: L.A. Lady, I'm not "angry". It's called decontextualization. "How bout you go to hell" Sounds like you're the one that's angry. Listen, Hell is where you belong and say hi to the devil for me! So please..Speak for yourself! Seems like stupidity runs with your opinions! HaHa!

jeeff: and as a bit of trivia, the background is from the very top-left corner of this photo: (from this entry)

Michelle: awesome blackbird pictures. makes me have a song running through my mind "blackbird singing in the dead of night...take those broken wings and learn to fly"

in response to Black Bird

jeeff: thanks catherine! groovehouse, dropshadow has been added. good suggestion.

farleymowat: Damn Tam!

in response to Later Than You Think

farleymowat: A nice evening photo, Peter. A bit doleful. Looks like a busy asylum of some kind off in the distance. Are those water towers?

in response to Blurry Rooftop Skyline

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I like it a lot. And I comment on layout and design all day.

CA chick: Disgusting and almost worse pathetic. If you're going to show your stuff in public, please make more of an impression so we don't have to squint.

Blog-less and this is why: All this nonsense over what may or may not be a penis? Did anyone think that this might have actually been an accident? Gym short+Loose boxer briefs = loss of testicle control. Now granted there are a lot of sick guys out there that get their rocks off by "freeing...

jeeff: whoa, i missed this one. great!

in response to Compact Car Parking

jeeff: those are fine ideas, and everyone's equally welcome to design a banner as far as i'm concerned. however there's already a loooong list of features to be implemented before worrying too much about cosmetic changes.

L.A. Woman: Hey E - "LA Woman aka prostitute" Haha. Your stupidity proves my point. You also seem hella angry which makes me think that maybe instead of being upset at the dick, you should actually get laid by one. And while you're telling people where to go, how 'bout you just...

elaine: cow's farts, water, anything, as long as it could all get in. you'd have the luggage bit as well. i think it could be a good one.

in response to Scrawl on the Wall

Chris Erb: St. Louis appears to have lots of parking. Every picture that isn't a close up of something has a parking lot, a parking garage or both in it.

in response to Laclede\'s Landing

EvilGentleman: A steam-powered Concorde, perhaps?

in response to responsible persons

Chris Erb: I really like this.

in response to heart of the city :: moscow graffity

hank: Looks like downtown St. Louis hasn't fallen in on itself from lack of upkeep. gotta have that new ballpark!

in response to Laclede\'s Landing

elaine: i think it may cost a bit, yes. though what with the advances in chipfat fuel and stuff... and if you were only using it for personal transport you could use the cabin for whatever fuel you were needing if it wasn't as efficient as petrol.

CityDweller: Exposing your genitalia in public is considered a misdeamoner according to state law under public lewdness and indecent exposure so serious or not the man in the pic is in the wrong. To make it worse authorities are certain he's a repeat offender, where THE SAME MAN exposed himself to...

Chris Erb: You should make a couple up that change everytime you load the page. Those are always fun. You could even get City Noise contributers to make them with glimpses of their own cities.

in response to New CITYNOISE Logo?

EvilGentleman: Maybe toss in a few buskers and an El Train, in order to maximize the "noise" aspect?

in response to New CITYNOISE Logo?

yvonne: i am happy to see that my eight year old grandson is out driving these days!

in response to Compact Car Parking

Chris Erb: I really like it. I like the uniformity of the while building that abruptly breaks away to give you a glimpse of everyday, small scale street life then, as soon as it began, goes into another building that quickly fades into the black bar.

in response to New CITYNOISE Logo?

jeeff: i was trying to convey a bit of the hectic chaos of the city (by smushing the letters together too). i'll try tinkering with it a bit and maybe post the results here or on www.livejournal.com/community/citynoise_org.

in response to New CITYNOISE Logo?

EvilGentleman: Hmmmm, interesting... I should look up Concordes online, but I have a personal vendetta with those crooks at eBay, and I have no idea who else would sell them. And I wonder how much it would cost to fill the fuel tanks on a Concorde at today's prices? For that...

Chris Erb: What CD did you lend him?

in response to NYC Morning

elaine: well yes, no. they don't go anymore. but then neither do routemaster buses and you can get one of them for 2000gbp

in response to responsible persons

Chris Erb: I was just wondering if anyone made a post about this. Your timing is impeccable.

in response to New CITYNOISE Logo?

elaine: we had this. and now it is sunny. but everyone is mad. i blame the moon. it will all be more normal after saturday.

in response to Smoggy Day

EvilGentleman: I should note that my wonderful wife, Arcticwoman, is the one that first coined that phrase, when we were discussing how our shattered lives have fallen into place to allow us to be together, how every brick wall has become a gate, how every poison has become a fine wine....

in response to NYC Morning

EvilGentleman: My day is getting better and better. Laughing always feels so good. Thanks, gang! Um, except... are there still Concordes flying? I thought they were all in museums or scrapyards now. I can hear you speaking with a pseudo-Italian accent, jeeff. Good one.

boy: Nobody even pays attention to this kind of thing in Chicago. And at any rate, my mother's seen PLENTY of dick in her day. I doubt it'd be a problem.

in response to 7 Train Pervert

elaine: i will do it, you know. it just. takes. me. some. time. to get off my ass. if you had a concorde you could prolly get here quite quick. maybe quicker than me going alll the way around the corner!

in response to responsible persons

Peter: yes, sure im partial, but ive gotta agree with cat here... despite the fact that it sometimes stinks after a heavy rain, nyc is definitely not a cesspool.

in response to 7 Train Pervert

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: New York is not a cess pool. Anyway, I've been harassed in a sleepy country village of less than 1,500 people.

Peter: ...me too. "puzzle-piece" days... i like that. it was a special sort of day. im glad i wrote about it here, as its allowed me to remember it, very vividly, for several years... :)

in response to NYC Morning

EvilGentleman: Then that was obviously one of those days I call "puzzle-piece" days, where some of the pieces of the puzzle that is life just magically fell into place for you. I love days like that.

in response to 7 Train Pervert

ScoopOfReason: Neither a penis nor a gun is intrinsically bad -- it's a matter of when and where you whip them out. By that standard the 7 Train guy acted inappropriately. But I do think the follow-on is a little hysterical.

jeeff: elana - the "goo" link (near the top of each article after the date) uses terms from the article to do an "i'm feeling lucky" search on google (it just returns the top result). it's usually random and weird, and sometimes great.

EvilGentleman: Laziness? Never heard of it. By the way, I plan to quit procrastinating tomorrow. I really mean it this time. LOL, no worries, would just be interesting to see the shot some day, and since I have no way to get to London, I figure asking you is my only chance....

Bob: Just a comment on the 1976 photo - pay attention to the spacing of the telephone poles - the photo inaccurately compresses the distances - some other-than-normal type lens. Compressing the scene exaggerates the differences. Also - it appears that the 1954 photo is taken from a little...

elaine: i don't think so. they don't even flock, and they are not all that big. plus, cats don't live underground, though it is true they don't like rain. but a blackbird doing his raindance is more likely to be the gobblee than the gobbler with a cat for breakfast.

EvilGentleman: Bird tags have been around for a while ;-) Actually, I dunno why, but I did that with the 1996 version of MGI PhotoSuite SE. I got used to the interface years ago, so I keep copying the program to my new computers. It has a really good screen capture ability.
