Down and out in Caltech and my Apartment

Here are some random pictures I took ... recently. Pictures are fun.

Obligatory picture of my mice doing something weird. In this case, they are sleeping. Poppinfresh likes to sleep in the corner in between their house and the walls of the cage. I think that is rather strange.

I discovered my camera has a mode called "Night Portrait" or something like that. It takes multiple exposures and uses the flash twice. I guess it must be figuring out what is foreground based on what is illuminated by the flash and single-exposing that, while double (at least) exposing everything else. I don't know why it would have to flash twice for that ... maybe to let you know that it is capturing data and you should stand still. Well, being the rebels that we are, we did not stay still, so there are a lot of Ghost Kyle pictures, which amused me to no end (until my camera's battery died ... I am very simple). This is one of the more solid looking pictures in front of the Beckman something or other at Caltech (every building at Caltech is named Beckman this or that). I like fountains. When I think about how I like to sit near pools of water, I am reminded of the monkeys in the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

And here is me, in front of a different Beckman building. Like I said, I am simple.

This is a really weird picture of Kyle swinging a construction cone in front of Baxter which appears to be on fire, oh, and the trees are made out of awesome lightning (PS I learned how to spell lightning today!). AWESOMO!

Here is Kyle doing his special in front of the library. If you know what a special is, then you, too, are supercool.

I think this picture has kind of a Ninth Gate kind of look to it.

Okay, that's it for now. Oh wait! Here's a video of me feeding the turtles at the pond here:
