new forum!

fish tacos
RANDOM TACO ATTACK!!!

I shall have another post laden with excessive food photos soon!...ish.

For now, I just want to announce the creation of the new...

TGWAE forum!

After reading Youngna's food rec question I thought it would be nice if she could post that on a forum instead of at the bottom of a stack of questions at the end of an entry that may never see the (virtual) light of day. Of course, there are lots of food forums already in existence, but...buuuut...

...

I don't know. It seems like my purpose in life is to take up more space on the Internet, and it was easy to install Vanilla, so I did! I AM DRUNK WITH "HOW CAN I FURTHER INTERACTION BETWEEN ME AND My READERS?" POWER! [flails around wildly] I've never been successful with making forums in the past, but you guys seem to like giving advice about things and asking questions. So.

The forum is rather bare, so if you're interested in contributing I'd love it if you could make suggestions in the "Suggestions" category. My plan is to make categories for major locations that you or I have recommendations for. I made the "Virginia" category in order to pull together all the comments people have left me on that post, for instance. I'll do the same for the "Paris" category. Eventually.

But in order for this to make sense, you should let me know that you're alive. From there I can think about add-ons and styles and all that other stuff that makes the website look prettier. THANKS!

Help out roboppy?

If you do want to help me out monetarily, here are some easy non-obtrusive ways to give back:

- Buy stuff through my amazon ID!: This is the BEST WAY to help me out without throwing money at my feet. I buy most of my material goods from amazon.com, and it would help me shittons if you bought stuff through my link. I don't get much per order, but the referral fees can add up.
- buy t-shirts through my Threadless Street Team thinger!
- Get webhosting with Dreamhost.com and enter roboppy@gmail.com as the referral

You need stuff from amazon.com and you should buy t-shirts from threadless (I've been somewhat loyal to them for the past five years). Thank you for making sure I don't resort to pan-handling and robbery!

    photo info!

    20d.jpg
    Canon 20D

    The Canon 20D with a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC macro lens is my main camera as of August 2007, although I used to use the Rebel XT before that...and the SD 450 before the summer of 2006. You should also know that I "post process" all my photos in Photoshop to make them suck less. Of course, you need a camera to take semi-decent photos first (it has a good macro mode), but without photoshop, I am nothing.
