Before
After
Easter
On Saturday we caught part of the classic William Shatner movie “Kingdom Of The Spiders,” which features a horde of tarantulas devouring a town. On Sunday we went on a ramble and found a large tarantula sneaking across a parking lot just off of Arkansas 7 north of Hot Springs.
Wow, the old Post Irony was hacked a couple days ago. From rummaging around in the hundreds of odd files that materialized on my server space, I determined that fake Viagra was somehow involved in the unseemly attack. After stumbling around the Internets for about 24 hours I was able to somehow restore order in the Post Ironic universe. I’m still not sure exactly how I accomplished it. Some stuff is still broken, but I’ll get around to fixing everything some day.
I know what you’re thinking, “Who the Hell cares that Post Irony was nearly unceremoniously wiped from the face of the earth?” But my sister Katie actually noticed that something was wrong and alerted me, the blog owner who had no clue that the precious account of his early middle age had been staked through the heart and left for dead for almost two days. So somebody cared.
On the bright side, this dastardly act got me to change hosting companies. I’ve been dissatisfied with my hosting company since day 1. I think the change will result in the site loading faster.
That is all.
My diploma came in the mail while we were touring the West. Anybody got a job opening?
In checking Post Irony’s metadata, I found that in the last two days the blog has been visited based on the search terms “me & the dukes of hazard” and “hee haw set on display.” It’s not even funny.
The hummingbirds are going thirsty around here.
Goodbye hovel.
Hello something less hovelish.
I hate putting up a tent. I don’t know why. It’s not that difficult. We’re going on an epic camping trip soon so I got the old tent out to see if was still in good shape and I immediately got a little short with Gina and Abby due to my dislike of tent erection.
We’re headed to Big Bend, which is in a really isolated part of Texas. In anticipation of being in a good area for photographing star trails I bought a cheapo intervalometer for my camera. When I started playing around with it I got the idea to do a time-lapse deal of me putting up our tent out in the middle of the desert. But I needed to practice on something and decided that the dry-run tent set-up would be the perfect time to practice for the real thing. So I set the intervalometer to take a picture every 8 seconds and made two videos, one of the tent set-up and one of the tent take down. The camera shot about 100 frames each time and I combined them in iMovie to make the video. They turned out well and included Abby and Gina in incidental roles, so I felt obliged to include them on this album. They go like this here:
