Dirty World News

Just when you lose your faith in humanity, someone goes and does something that makes you entirely rethink your pessimism about the brotherhood of mankind. That's right...someone turned my lost BluBlockers into the Lost & Found at MTV. Huzzah!

Taking BluBlocker photographs is one of my dorkier hobbies, right up there with shortwave radio and quizzing co-workers on Saved by the Bell trivia. Now if only someone would invent an actual BluBlocker lens (or better yet, include it as an automatic setting on digital cameras), I wouldn't have to do it myself (essentially sticking one of the frames from the glasses in front of the lens).

My father emailed me this photo of the backyard of the house in Baltimore where I grew up. He thinks it's from 1981 or '82, but it looks pretty much the same as it did when we moved out in 1994.

My dad is a stonemason, and he cut and arranged the bricks and stones by hand (and chisel, of course). It looks pretty cool from above, particularly the way the grass lines up symmetrically with the brick walkway and patio.

I wish I still had that Big Wheel.
