beggared for space

I’m testing out a free photo hosting service called photobucket.com. I’m not 100% thrllled with the feature set, but the price is hard to beat.

If you feel like it, take a look at a test album I uploaded. It contains a few recent snaps of Iowa City’s brand-new public library building, which has a bit of nice art deco-y stuff on the outside, and is nice and spacious inside (it used to be all cramped and stuff). There’s also a couple of shots of Daphne on the way to the library, plus one of some random building downtown.

Leave a comment if you have any trouble seeing the images.

It pains me that I’m reduced to this at all, but I’m running out of space on my web host. It isn’t dire - I won’t run out tomorrow, and probably not within the next few months. But it still bugs me.

A lot of el-cheapo hosting companies have begun to offer one or two gigs of space on their low-end accounts - I think of this as the gmail effect, though maybe it predates that - but mine has missed the train and is still stuck at 100MB. If they can’t keep up, they’ll likely lose my business. My near-worthless, $5-per-month business. :)

route six-by-six

Holly posted some of the Utah pictures, and she wondered why I took a picture of the freeway.

I was just having a bit of a Hrmm-This-Is-Different moment. Iowa doesn’t have any five-lane freeways, and Utah does, so I took a little picture. Of course, it turned into a six-lane freeway right after I snapped the pic.

As long as I was doing landscapes, I figured I’d take one of these mountains. This was taken from the parking lot of the Hogle Zoo (nice zoo, terrible website). The zoo is quite a way up in the foothills, but these apartment buildings are about as high as you could get, I think.
