Robert Earl Keen — online
Who: Robert Earl Keen What: The Online Party Never Ends – Live on RobertEarlKeen.com Where: Live from your Couch! When: Friday, May 17th 6-8PM CST Previously, as I’ve noted, I like Mr. Keen for a true sound track, “Robert Earl Keen” is part of the aural landscape, integral piece of it. He was alive and [...]
Miscellany via Bexar County
San Antonio — as defined as Bexar County — is way weirder than Austin, but no one listens to me. Rosario’s is a famous TexMex place on S. Alamo. Across the street, last week? I grabbed this image and, to me, it looks like a “tobacco inhalation device,” as we’re not allowed to say “bong.” [...]
Gated Living
Had a buddy, back in the old Austin days, living in a “Gated Community.” Some details have echoed in my horoscopes. Which is what made this odd image even more amusing, word play in the title, and then, a slight sag to the image’s frame, hardware, software, who knows? I didn’t do it. Gated Living. [...]
Tacos y mas
Tacos y mas History in the Making: Another branch of the acequia uncovered. Colonial Spain, taming the land. Of note. And one from Oklahoma, albeit, not quite as old. Love this comparison: The minimal mac version, and a previous version, I did, here and here. Compare and contrast. I suspect it’s still buried in there [...]
Pricing and Price Points
All about “Pricing and Price Points?” Still cheaper than a burrito? Yes. Pictures and Justice: The snapshot from the from seat of a hybrid, headed south towards the beach, just doesn’t do it justice. The scene is 35 mph winds, tough weather blowing in, and the fields, prepared for summer crops, dust billowing in the [...]
Big Red and Barbacoa
Never realized, not on a cognitive level, not everyone knows what Big Red is, apparently a localized construct. Being a regional person, I never thought that this was an item, a commodity, a regular grocery thing, I never thought this wasn’t available, like, worldwide. Like, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper. To me, its presence is, like, [...]
Failure is an option
It is Failed iPhone Art. I’m not worried or concerned, as I tried. One of the central tenets of the side-project is to have a minimal amount of tweaking images. On the phone, I tend to use just one app, with a single set of filters and frames. Not always the same, and I’m willing [...]
From the Web Files
In a series of three, this was first: Lowrider Lincoln. (1959, I think.) Big Red and Barbacoa — everyday, a San Antonio favorite. Coming in from Austin, Barbacoa was a weekend special treat. Big brother is watching you? To follow on that thread, I pulled a few stats from the current server. For just one [...]
Cowboy Portraiture
It’s a cowboy, probably a real one, guessing, from the clues that aren’t obvious in the shaky, cell phone image. Downtown San Antonio, couple of weeks back. I was shod in sandals and shorts, and that was a furtive image as the cowboy — the rodeo was in town — was looking at an image [...]
