new camera

.
After years of griping, I got a new camera with the proceeds of some of the jobs I've been doing lately. It's a Canon PowerShot A720, which means it's small and light, takes bigger pictures (up to 8MB), and has more zoom (6x optical). It's also easy to find the features. I think I know as much about it after two days as I do about my other camera after four years.

Oh my god!

Sir Frederick Gas has died. Once again, I have to utter that wretched cliche I didn't know he was still alive! After appearing with Spike Jones for some years, he slipped out of the music biz and became Earl Bennett and edited films, and then he went back to painting.

A sorrowful 'thank you' to Mark Evanier for pointing out what we have lost.
