the Trash vitae

Trash is the editor-in-chief of an independent Colorado micro-publisher/ design studio. I dabble in digital photography, the lost art of film image making, and guerilla digital video. DrMAC Studios specializes in books and videos on self-reliance, gardening, dumpster diving, urban foraging and living off the excesses of others.
This blog documents my daily experiences with the rest of the world

Sunday video



Compost creation is one of your most valuable assets and resources you have for controlling the soil to which the food you grow depends. Build it consistently. DO NOT throw stuff away that you can use in the gardens. It is like throwing money down the drain or directly into your trash bin.

bluetooth phone upload for pics




I knew the phone and netbook had bluetooth capability and was wondering why it was not working. When I moved to Win 7 it now worked easily. 2 pics taken this afternoon and the one with the snow was taken during the last snow. Expecting some more within the next few days.

new video



I still have a few quircks to work out in the cam but it is up an running. Hop y'all had a good turkey day and comments are always welcome.

Updated lab to Win 7 and Ubuntu

spent the morning updating the PC computers in the lab to Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 to able to add new features.  It takes some time however I will add a video  either later today or tomorrow.

the garage studio


Enjoying the 50s and working in the studio

Buy nothing DAy



Turkey day went along smoothly this year with the early start by Mrs T and the kids getting involved in pre-making the pies, horsdoerves, and prepping the taters and stuffing the day before. All Mrs T had was the prep of her famous roast turkey. Dinner as usual took place around 630 with all 3 kids and the cats/dog and birds hungrily feasting. Mrs T and headed off to tryptophan slumber while the 2 younger kids played monopoly til they tired and went off to bed.
Got up about 8 this morning for coffee and toast before retiring again til almost noon. And a day after brunch of turkey and dressing and coffee. Then out here to the studio. Almost 50 degrees this afternoon and sunny. A beautiful day indeed.
Hope yours went as well also.
update (afternoon walk find of 2 topsy turvy tomato planters for next spring with what appears to be good compost soil.) Will walk again later to the rest of the neighborhood for more "finds"
