The Return of the Blog

You may not be getting anything, but it's free! What do you expect?

I took that photo at my local Walmart a while back.  

Anyway, I'm back!  (I thought about making my triumphant return a three part series called "Fellowship of the Blog", "The Two Bloggers", and "Return of the Blog" but the idea of photoshopping myself into a hobbit seemed too daunting.)  The real reason I'm back is that after having several people ask me "What's up with the blog?" and after responding several times "mwhydunno.....", I've decided it's time to get off of my kiester and start blogging again.

The reasons for my hiatus are valid and varied, or at least they were at first.  I was really busy working at the school, and then pineapple season kicked in, and then I moved to LA and met this hooker named - no kidding - "Obi-Wan $10". (Any or all of the previous sentence may be fictional.)

Anyway, once all of my running around subsided, I realized that I was still pretty busy.  And all of the stuff I was busy with was pretty boring (read: you wouldn't want to read it).

"But how is that any different from anything else you've put up here Cameron?" I can hear you all saying in unison.  To which I must respond, "Touché salesman."

Therefore I will now regale you with all that I thought about writing about but didn't.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), Regan called me out on his blog, saying that it only took him seven minutes to write a new blog post.  I take twice that just running through title options and three times that photoshopping potato rakes all over the place.  But I've taken it as a challenge, and I'll try to complete the next series of posts in 7 minutes or less.

Enjoy (or not).

It's all such a bargain

Supercalifragalisticexpiala-update

Just a potato rake of sugar.....something something

Sorry everyone.  Been super busy.  And when I'm not busy, I've been sleeping.

But since I've got an evening here without any deadlines for tomorrow, I've decided to fill you in on all of the happenings going on, and why I'm so busy all of the sudden.

The More the Merrier

Even back then I was so photogenic....

Yet another person has joined the Cameronomishpere!  In case you're wondering, that's her in the photo wearing my coat.  I swear, more women wore that coat that fall than I think I ever did in my my whole life.  For the record that photo was taken just a little over forever ago, as you can tell by the fact I still wasn't big enough for my shirt.  

Guinness Book of World Records

I don't want Fop, I want Dapper Dan!!!  I'm a Dapper Dan man!

T'was a record-setting day today.  Not anything that would actually be noticed by Guinness, but I am drinking a Guinness at the moment.  And while they're not world records, they are personal records for me, and I live in the world, and so...you know....  And as far as the book goes, well, yeah.  That's a lie.

Anyway, let's get to it!

The Cameronomicon (Audio Equivalent)

And yet, Paul likes it

Oh yeah.   Just found this.  Too great to not share.  Originally found it at failblog.org.  I remember when I was making theme music for the site, and now I see I was off.

WAY off.

The M@ Abides

Dig the classic Olan Mills backdrop!

Ok all of you Cameronomicabalists out there, it's time for more blog pimpage!  Brought to you direct by The Great Magnet itself, the latest addition to what I like to think of as the Cameronoshpere: TheM@ Abides, the new blog started by our good friend TheMatt.  He's recently dropped everything but his cat and headed off to live in Seattle, and he's being kind enough to share the adventures with us.  Thus far they've been very entertaining.  So go check it out, follow if you like, and check back often.  Granted, it may be different that what you're used to here on the Cameronomicon, what with the complete and total lack of potato rake references, but I'm sure you're all kind and wise enough to see past that and enjoy TheM@ Abides upon its own merits.  You may also notice that I've added this blog to my "Blogs of Interest" in the sidebar on the right.  This'll let you know when he's added a new post.

Graçias, Cameronmigos.

That is all.

Cameronographie

Hey everyone.  I warned you it was pending, and here it is.  I've started a new blog for all of the artsy photos I take, in hopes that it'll be a nice forum for rich people to order prints from me.

It's still in progress, and over the next few weeks I'll be adding the photos I've already taken.  But it's a much cleaner, simpler, more basic layout, and there's not much there apart from the photos.  I'll let you know as the site progresses, but at this point there's not much reason to go other than to just check out the idea (and I'm very open to suggestions, if you've got any).

Anyway, here it is: Cameronographie

I've added the link over there on the right, so you can see the most recent update.

Cheers.

My Recent Involvement with the FBI

Not THE FBI, of course, but still, it's interesting.

The Cameronomicon has been added to fbiblogs.com (there's another link via image over there on the right.  -------->

This particular FBI (From Big Island) is a collection of blogs* (see exaggerated side note below) of various people here on the Big Island of Hawai'i.  It was created and is managed by Damon Tucker and I think it's a really interesting project, and and I'm happy to be a part of it.  (of course, I got the invite before I started talking about the crazy food replicator guy, so I believe the un-invite will occur at any moment now...  :) )

From what I've learned, my blog was brought to Mr. Tucker's attention by Guava Bee, who I'd like to take a moment to thank. (Thanks, Guava Bee, if you're reading.)  I'd also like to thank one Andrew Cooper, for not only confirming that the fbiblogs.com site is bringing a bit more traffic to my blog, but also for graciously identifying the fish from the photos I posted on my Kealakekua thread.  Thanks to Guava Bee, Damon, and Andrew, I can now with certainty say "That's a yellow tang!" instead of "OOoooo! Pretty fishies!"  And I believe we can all agree that that alone makes the world a better place.

So, faithful readers (both of you), go check out fbiblogs.com and read up on some of the interesting things happening on and about the Big Island.  They are, after all, the "Big Islands Best Blogs."

That said, I'm off to replicate 7 strengths of bacon.  If I'm not back in a week, someone tell my mom the polar bears got me.

* EXAGGERATED SIDE NOTE: I think there should be a word for a collection of blogs.... Collections of books are called (originally enough) "collections" or "libraries" although the thorough and exhaustive 7 minutes of searching on Google, I can find no real difference between the two. I suppose some would say that a "collection" is private, while a library is not, but that's not really true.  You can have a private library and a public collection.  I also thought it might have something to do with the quantity of books, but I can find no official minimum number of books required to earn the title "library."  Therefore, I'm officially stating that the one true and defining difference between a collection of books and a library of books is the Dewey Decimal System.  I'm sure someone who is a librarian (I know more now than I ever have) will speak up and deny this, but TOO LATE!  It's already been officially stated!  

But now I'm off topic.  We need a name for a collection of blogs.  Blogosphere, as much as I don't like that name, implies all of the blogs everywhere.  I don't know.  I'm at a loss here.  Kilzer, you're good with names....  rock something out here so we can all sleep at night.  Thanks.

Blog Blog Revolution!

Attention all blog readers!
