You Shall All Covet The New Addiction

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Um...yes. Mt. Doom is only 46 miles from the GW Bridge. Lower Bumfark. Schenectady is like 20 miles NW of friggin Albany Upper/Outer Bumfark. You go there and they'll find your body in the Spring.

Once you get north of lower OC (where we live) they only industries left in NY State are higher education and friggin prisons.

That's what passes for cutting edge in upstate NY. Well, ok, it did until they stopped making the film.

I believe that is correct, if you wanted a second opinion.

Just you wait - the hipsters rejuvenated vinyl production and they'll do the same for film as they rebel against this uncool "digital" stuff. You'll see.

Kodak still makes film in Rochester - professional films like EKTAR 100 and B&W film. They stopped making Kodachrome in 2009 which made headlines.

...but, since we're on the subject, some deep pockets do care. Like this guy that spent $500k on a custom sensor used only to take test shots before reverting to film for the final product. Yeah, spent $500k on a sensor to save money on film... ouch.

NOBODY friggin CARES. I do graphics for a living. Forget about it.

Almost nobody. If absolutely nobody cared, we'd be out of business, but essentially, nobody really could give flying fark. Nor would 95% of people know good graphics from terrible graphics.

I take pretty decent product pics with a particular soft spot for food and drink - does that mean that I care? I think it does... but what do I know?

so I think I have officially hit that point where I realize why most everybody is such a sourpuss in here. I hadn't been on here in like 2 or 3 weeks. Come back and all the new threads are pretty much lame. So this is me apologizing for me first few newb threads. Buddha christ we need something better to talk about.

so I've never done the Black Friday thing. thinking about it this year. Is it worth it? I don't really NEED anything...but like a new bike...a better T.V. is always cool.
