In his duties as official photographer to WWDC, James Duncan Davidson kindly allowed himself to be made subject of a photograph. Well, one photograph he allowed, the other was covertly taken while he was busy executing his work ;)

Infinite Repeat

ben — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 12:15:28 +0000

Television in the hotel is an infinite repeat of infomercials and telecommercials. From solutions for depression, bachelor’s degrees and Honda SUV’s to American Express cards and instant cash loans from seemingly trustworthy companies with “representatives standing by to take your call”.

That’s all on just one channel – the rest are all the same!

Infinite Repeat comes from the Queens of the Stone Age song ‘Millionaire’ where they “play the songs that sound more like everyone else… than anyone else, KLON radio Los Angeles”.

Airport arrival

I’m thinking about getting to Tullamarine about 9:30am tomorrow. I’m one of those guys who gets there really early, checks into a shocking seat, has his bags dismantled by Customs and then spends hours re-assembling the many cables and sundry items that go along with a computer and a camera.
