Wow, it’s interesting what kind of stuff one stumbles across when searching Google for network information: http://www.usmc.mil/maradmins/maradmin2000.nsf/Date1?OpenView
And here I was just Googling for info on SIPR (Secure IP Routing) with the string “sipr dod”.
Yesterday I received a piece of email from a film production company in Toronto asking if I’ll grant them rights to use this photo in a documentary they are making “…about the archaeology of the birthplace of Jesus: the well known Bethlehem.”
The company is AP LTD/ TSU Productions who is located somewhere downtown along Spadina in Toronto. I’m also not sure of any of the details of this documentary nor why they would be interested in such a poorly shot photo (it’s just a random snapshot from when I was wandering around Frankenmuth alone one day), but they do. < shrug >
Digging a bit further, one of this company’s previous works is The Naked Archaeologist which looks like it might actually be interesting. Actually, looking at the dates of this show, this photo might be wanted to be included as part of this series. The aforementioned press release is only from two weeks ago, and it looks like the series isn’t complete yet.
Hmm, I guess I will let them use it… No reason not to…
Now, to figure out how to communicate the release back to them in the most efficient manner.
UPDATE: Hmm, the number to fax the relese to is for the Riverdale Jewish Community Center. Interesting…
After the iSight Tripod Adapter project I’m tempted to try making something like these to see how good they might sound. I’m sure that a visit to Parts Express and a decent amp could get me started… It’d be nifty to make some nice sounding speakers, too.
Tonight’s shiny happy lesson?
Denatured alcohol is not the same as isopropyl alcohol.
This because readily apparent when the $6 can of denatured alcohol that I just purchased failed to remove the label adhesive from some PVC pipe, yet the isopropyl did the job in seconds.
Doh.
Well, now that the wheat berry ale is bottled, I’m starting to think about making another beer. I probably shouldn’t, as I have six cases of beer actively aging. That said, I’m really wanting to make something else… I’m thinking a stout or vanilla porter. Hrm.
So, I think tonight I’ll bottle the wheat berry ale. The bottles are at home soaking in Oxyclean (they are clean already, I’m just being certain there’s nothing left on them), the carboy has been moved to the kitchen counter, and I’m pretty certain I know how much priming sugar I’ll need (166g).
Now to wrap up the day at work…
Well, I just sent off payment for 40 15′ long Firewire cables. On the way home from the dentist’s office tonight (I’m going by there to do some computer work) I’ll grab some more PVC pipe, some endcaps, some tee nuts, some paint, and get started on things. Hopefully within two weeks I’ll actually have them ready for sale…

So I’ve been thinking of manufacturing about 40 of those iSight tripod adapters and selling them. I’m thinking of making them a bit shorter than the one I have (there’s a lot of air space in there) and painting them black or so.
Price would be US$35 shipped within the US, slightly more to elsewhere.
I’m curious, do you all think this is a good idea? And, would you be interested in buying one?
Here is a shot of the device itself, similar to what would be for sale. Except the ones I sell will likely be painted black.
Right now I’m trying to get prices on Firewire cables, but I’m thinking I’d end up with 15′ cables, leaving about 14.5′ hanging out of the adapter. The extra length is there so that it’s possible to have the iSight mounted on the tripod, and the computer a goodly ways away.
So, interested? Your thoughts?
Wow, so The Environmental Quality Company in Wayne, MI is currently exploding. Damn.
UPDATE: …and here’s what they do: http://www.eqonline.com/services/audit-mdiwdi/facility_overview.pdf
UPDATE 2: I’ll add photo links here:

UPDATE 3: All photos moved to here (photo gallery retired).
UPDATE 4: Okay, so it seems that this was actually EQ’s company EQ Resource Recovery, Inc.. All the photos have been moved to here, a more appropriately named site.
