Connecting the Camera and the Computer

Finally have the wire that connects the camera to the computer, and the program to sort through the pics as well.

Hipster is the new Yuppie

Overheard on the LIRR today was a gaggle of women who apparently work for the nytimes (as a former hostess, I shamelessly eavesdrop whatever conversation is loud enough for me to hear). Their conversation circled around upcoming interviews with people "hit by the recession." While brainstorming ideas of the type of people they are looking to interview:
"What if we had a PhD...who is now learning a technical trade?" *continues to twirl hair*
What a boring and trite idea, and how irritating that they are so desperate to trivialize lives into "intriguing" blog bits. (ha)

Anyway, it really got me irritated because honestly, one doesn't have to find the former PhD professor currently out of work to muster sympathy for those hit by this recession. My sister, working a job that was "saved" after her deaded company was absorbed by another hates her job with a passion, yet stays in the office till 8 or 9 most days to keep it. Her husband holds on to the one he has, or else his children go another year without insurance. Let's not even get started on my fathers situation. This is our modern day life, and this is why I am disillusioned.
