A Little Goes a Long Way!

For a site called “tumbledry,” I don’t post laundry related things much. I find this dolphin hilarious.

The Cinematics

On Facebook, I saw Nils added “The Cinematics” to his list of favorite artists. I’ve heard two songs off of their album “A Strange Education,” and I really like what I’ve heard so far. I’ll have to give the rest of it a listen soon.

It’s from this loneliness and the fear it brings That new doors can open up and be a savior to me So I’ll open my mind Open my heart It’s the only way to breathe

It’s just a trick of the lights she said So don’t panic, now don’t panic

Intentionally out of focus.

The Basics

This might be me and my primary-literature addled brain acting up, but I have to ask something. Sometimes, I’m fine when I read the word “dishonest.” But other times, when I read the word “dishonest,” my brain says “dish-honest.” Should I be seeing a doctor for this? We’ll try an example. This is a writer for The Inquirer who is talking about ethical guidelines when editorial content and the interests of advertisers clash.

Basically, there are honest editors/owners/management and dishonest ones. The dishonest ones will lean on people to do things that they know better than to do. The honest ones will leave, the dishonest ones will stay, and you quickly get a dishonest organization.

Did your brain do anything goofy? Sometimes I wonder wonder what’s going on up there.

People Magazine: No Photoshop

People Magazine: No Photoshop - When they shot the world’s 100 most beautiful people, People magazine decided against any Photoshoppery or make-up. This article details some techniques to beautify the your subjects.

  1. Long exposure (hadn’t thought of this!).
  2. Copious amounts of white.
  3. Over exposure.
  4. Shallow depth of field.
  5. Soft focus filter/lens.
  6. Over exposure.

Option (1) is probably the one I’d like to try most.

Ahh, football

Ahh, football - “Many people think football players are dumb jocks. Here is newly drafted Miami Dolphins fullback Reagan Mauia doing nothing to dispell this myth.”
