another exciting edition of "phonecam droppings"

10 pound dark chocolate bar from trader joe's
My previous boss bought this for me sometime in January.  There's about a quarter of it left.  I break it up into chunks and keep them in a small Dartington box that [livejournal.com profile] 2wanda made, and i encourage everyone in the office to drop by and have some.

computer rails that have obviously had a notch ground in them, weakening the metal
Instead of making rails that fit our racks, Dell sends the same ol' rails and grinds a notch in them so they fit, so they're thin and nastily sharp.  Thanks a lot, Dell.

ripe plums on a tree
At a company off-site at the Alpine Inn (which is where i demonstrated my mighty talent with horseshoes), i saw these plums.  Are they sugar plums, perhaps?  I meant to bring one home for Kim, but i forgot.

a toilet among the wedding gifts
Last month, [livejournal.com profile] sandollar17, [livejournal.com profile] elmuchacho, Kim, and i attended the wedding of one of [livejournal.com profile] captain_nesky's best friend's, Sarah.  This was probably the oddest wedding gift on display.

sunflowers
Sunflowers in our community garden neighbor's plot.

an oddly linear cloud crosses the sun
I decided to test my phonecam's limits.  I'm rather pleased with it.

a computer display shows a disintegrating frame buffer
My coworker's laptop produced this fascinating image as he shut it down, or something.

JOHN 3:16 TAXICAB
As we returned from a lunch excursion to the Shanghai Dumpling Shop (really, really, really good), we ended up next to this minivan during a red light.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever rideth with Him should not perish, but arrive unharmed at his destination.  Or something.
