All Cosby!!!

I started to try to collect all the seasons. I think I ended up with seasons 1-3 but quit because it was tiring and expensive. But lookie what we have here...all 8 seasons...YES!

Ms Klum

Man I must admit I didn't really like her at first. But she is so awesome. I love seeing her and her beautiful family. Sorry for the late Halloween post I just saw this.

Yes we can!

Last night as I watched the results of the presidential election, tears streamed down my face as I stood in aww holding our 1 year old daughter. It's a new day. So many thoughts ran through my mind. So many newscasts and coverage of the election kept saying its not about race and kept discussing how he won. For me its simple, he represents us. America and all its diversity. As a daughter of an immigrant mother and my father's mother, my grandmother, who was in America and went back to China because their was nothing to offer her only to come back. And her mother (my great-grandmother) who came to America and was held in internment camps at Angel Island just for the color of her skin. This truly means a lot to me and that my daughter will grow up knowing she can do anything she wants.

Now this is not to say I don't also back the issues Obama says he addressed such as healthcare and more importantly, to me, education and childcare. Man, I can go on and on. Yesterday was truly the most important day of my life right next to the birth of my child. I can honestly say I am proud to be American and feel a sense of pride I have never felt before.

RIP Poloroid

The high tech world has no room for our friend the Poloroid camera. I guess we better stock up on film (right Sarah because I know how you love Poloroids). Poloroid has called it quits and will only produce electronics and digital cameras. Boo! Being a graphic designer I have used it countless times in projects and ads. Now what!

Here's the info via thinkcamera.com:

After 60 years of making instant pictures, Polaroid is peeling back from its film photography business. Polaroid quietly stopped manufacturing instant film cameras last year and will cease production of instant film altogether in 2009. The company will instead concentrate on its other interests, including selling Polaroid-branded digital cameras, digital photo frames and LCD televisions.

Edwin Land, er, developed the first practical instant-picture system in the late 1930s for his Polaroid company, at the time best known for its polarised sunglasses. The photographic system used film packs with built-in chemistry to deliver a print in less than a minute. Land's first camera and film system was released in 1948, with a range of innovative colour and black and white films following suit.

The Polaroid company famously (and successfully) sued Kodak over patent violations in the 1980s, and produced one of the first commercially available digital cameras, the PDC-2000 of 1996. However, Polaroid filed for bankruptcy in 2001, with a new company - the Polaroid Corporation - emerging from the ashes of the old.

Fujifilm - licensee of Polaroid's instant film technology - will continue to manufacture Polaroid-designed instant film under its Instax banner, as well as the FB100B and FB100C instant films for ID card printers and medium and large format camera systems.
