Funniest random thing I saw today:
Six NYC Police Officers got on the bus to go three stops down. They looked so awkward and I got the feeling that everyone else felt it was awkward too lol. I mean what NYC PO take public transportation aside from the subway?
Just browsing through my iGoogle and Microsoft Photosynth caught my eye. It's pretty neat really and I'm thinking of giving it a shot. Check it out here. Basically a short description is that you take massive amounts of photos ranging from detailed to far shots so that when it all compiles together it creates a sort of a one-dimensional-3D online view of whatever it is that you took massive amounts of pictures of. Just go to the website and look at it yourself haha.

Responses and Random Pictures for the Month of July
As speculation for the next Batman movie is flying around on who wants to play what character, and possible characters, this article to me stuck out the most because i would've never guessed or considered this particular actor fit for this type of movie genre (if they were serious to have the next villian as The Riddler that is).

In response to the Anon comment from the previous post, the person was absolutely right that there's no guarantee that Christopher Nolan would return for the third Batman - in fact it was three years since Batman Begins. Christopher Nolan takes his film projects one step at a time so i would not be surprised if it took another three years or more for the next Batman to arrive but I'm pretty confident that Christopher Nolan would see through Christian Bale's contract for the three Batman films.
---------------------------------------
Sorry but since I started work I haven't been carrying my camera around so the camera phone was all I have.
(from left to right)
1 - Since I started working around City Hall I've managed to at least be around the camera, film, and some cast members of various shows but mainly Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Shown are actress Kathryn Erbe and Vincent D'Onofrio.
2 - Some candidate came in and she brought in bootleg Pocky lol. I had to take a picture of it
3 - I doubt anyone wants to take a tour of Staten Island. The tour is only close to an hour and the only site they visit that i can remember is the Alice Austin house but I know that it's mostly the North Shore. I think the price is about 45$ or something - ripoff and boring.
4 - At work I've been buying snacks at the vending machine but this pretty much made me stop. The picture was taken on July 28th 2008... -_-"
(from left to right)
1 - Ugly Betty staff chairs
2 - Eric Mabius
3 - Eric Mabius (and when the person moved...) Rebecca Romijn
4 - I couldn't get a good shot of America while she was heading toward the car since they were filming underneath the arc. So I only got the left back-side of her head.
*honorable mention* - Judith Light was there as well but since she was almost literally walking next to me (it was almost as if no one knew she was part of the show as Mrs. Meade) I didn't want to be rude and shove a camera in her face.

Random Photos for the Month of June 2008, The best of my EuroTrip, and The Coronation of Napoleon
Here are the photos for the month of June. Most of the pictures from my Europe trip are on my Facebook so I'll post the best picture from each place that I've visited as a summation.
Golden Flow... sometimes I wonder if people who create names really think about whether or not it has other connotations to it. Then there's the phrase that goes after it doesn't help with regards as to what the Golden Flow product is if it's "the taste we grew up on"
I can't believe the dog is still here from the last time I posted about it! The price from when I took it back in April was $7.99 and now they raised it a dollar to $8.99 -_-
So this was pretty interesting when I spotted it. There seems to be four cameras hoisted on the roof of the chevy cobalt - anyone who has any sort of photography or film background please feel free to fill me in on this contraption lol
Three of the Four Waterfalls in NYC, "Presented by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with New York City." This is Olafur Eliason's art project and I'll acknowledge his creativity but I don't really find it all that fascinating aside from being pointless. Neither do I think it's really worth the four months that it'll be here (June 26th - October 13th).
I had to get my Mercedes Benz brakes fixed so the tune-up shop is the Ray Catena in Edison, NJ. They have free fast internet, a fridge for cold soda, juice, and water as well as two different types of sandwiches and wraps. The picture on the right you can see that they have bagels in the morning for those who have appointments in the morning. Everytime I go I have to be Asian and grab all that my two hands can fit lol. Usually its like two sandwiches and two bottles of water haha. I guess when you get a luxury car you also get treated luxuriously.
The Peeing boy in Brussels, Belgium
The Clog making factory in Holland
The Diamond Factory (Coster Diamonds) in Amsterstam which houses the diamond encrusted tennis racquet and ball.
The above picture is a painting done by Jacques-Louis David done at the request of Napoleon. Some quick tidbits about the photo. This was the first of two that Jacques-Louis David did. The second painting was exactly the same except some minor differences to which I'll show at the end of the post. The obvious difference is easy to point out so I'll leave that for you to catch it.
Towards the background the woman in the middle of the row that looks important - that is Napoleon's mother. Story has it that her and Napoleon got into an argument beforehand and she never showed up for the actual event and Napoleon had asked David to paint her in. In the row above Napoleon's mother, and to her right (our left) there's a guy that looks like he's taking notes during the ceremony. That's Jacques-Louis David and in front of him are his three daughters.
There was something about this painting when I first saw it at Versailles that captured me and won my heart. So at the gift shop when I came across the puzzle it was just something I had to have. So I bought it but i haven't opened it up yet till just now lol.
The picture below was taken at Versailles, the second of the Coronation of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David done about nine years later after the first one.

Random Photos for the Month of May 2008
I know I haven't been updating but here are some pictures that were taken during the month of May I thought was pretty random. I'll be on vacation so I wont be updating for awhile. Here are the places I'll be in Europe for the next week and a half or so:
London
Rome
Florence
Venice
Milan
Luzern
Paris
Brussels
Amsterdam
Enjoy the pictures!
I was at a travel agency picking up the vacation itinerary and happened to come across this poster of a province in Thailand. It's pronounced "poo-ket" but thats not what came to my mind at first lol.
Well I never would've thought that this corner on Baxter and Canal in Chinatown would close down but apparently it has and the reason is for safety measures....
An old Chinese superstition is that if you make 1,000 paper cranes, your wish will come true...
The pictures speak for itself lol.
Was walking around in Chinatown when I saw an elementary school kid doing his HW on the sidewalk next to his parent's newstand...
Haven't seen old school Vespas in awhile...
And for the last photo... while picking up Jeff from Penn State, came across this truck. It's just asking for a kidnapping to happen lol.
See you all when I get back !

More Ragnarok Online screenshots
So we decided to mess around with more pictures and poses and here is what we came up with.
1 - Since our merchants were all dress in black and Jeff's Assassin Cross was black why not take a picture of a "gang" lol
2 - Dave has a gunner and we used the @die command to the fullest lol.
3 - More dead bodies and we used the merchants to look like Death Angels
4 - The Liu Dynasty has taken over...
5 - Okay so what really happened here is that after i took the picture for number 4... a monster came by and killed all the merchants LOL. It was hilarious just witnessing it haha. So it was perfect for a new shot which is what you see.

Random Photos for the month of April 2008
I guess to encourage myself to post more entries on my blog... I've come up with an idea of putting up photos that I randomly took during the month whether because it was interesting or random. If I have anything to say I'll probably put comments on there too. If you want a better view of the photo just click on it. Enjoy!
So this is my first ever "myspace" picture (you know... the one where you stick a camera in front of a mirror and you take a picture of yourself). I was bored waiting for my Grandma since she had a doctor's appointment so I decided to one. You probably can't tell unless you click on the picture but my side view mirror is quite dirty lol.
I decided to take a photo of an area of Chinatown that I'd say I'm probably the most familiar with or at least my favorite place to walk past every time. This photo on Mott Street (perpendicular to Canal Street) has my favorite Chinese fast food place ever since I can remember anything - "Big Wong". Its the restaurant with the signature big yellow sign with their signature yellow takeout bag. Best Cheap eat place in NYC, hands down. I'll be taking another photo years down the line and compare the two for an artistic shot.
House of Vegetarian. The reason for this photo is that I'm amazed this restaurant still exists for as long as I can remember. It's a vegetarian restaurant! Sorry, I'm a carnivore and I do eat vegetables but preferably not a whole dinner set with items that resemble meat. Mind boggling while there is this other place on Mott Street that changed names numerous times. Simply amazing...
I never knew that hourly parking (in Chinatown at least) starts at 7:30AM and ends MIDNIGHT. I've always thought that the hourly parking ends around 8:30PM. Another way the city looking to get more money from us... parking. What's next... congestion tax? hehe
Last year I went to China for a family vacation with a tour group and they used a Purple flag so that everyone in the tour group can have a focal point of gathering or following if walking. As I just happened to sit there in the car waiting for my grandma these tourists are following the tour guide and she's using... a Hobby Horse (see wikipedia here). It was a pretty amusing site to see I'll admit haha.
This toy possibly ranks among the most annoying toys ever made. The things that the toy dog does is mainly bark practically nonstop until it moves at the timed interval, walks a couple of steps and then does a wheelie type thing, and then starts barking again. The sign in front of it says "Take me home" for $7.99 USD. I'll take a picture of it for next month and we'll see if the toy dog still needs a home. The shop owner probably wastes more batteries keeping the thing barking than the chances of someone actually purchasing one.
