Peregrine falcon chicks began hatching today in their nest in the tower atop the Kodak world headquarters building in downtown Rochester. Just in time for Mother’s Day1. Aww. Can you even stand the cuteness of it all?
Kodak provides a webcam in their nest, and you can watch the rest of the eggs hatch over the next few days.
Tomorrow (5/8/08) at 12:00pm ET is the next CameraCon “TimeShoot”. Not sure where I’ll be at that point in the day, but I’ll be sure to have a camera with me. Hopefully I’ll be able to get something interesting.
You can see the results of the previous TimeShoot on Flickr here.

In anticipation of this summer’s new X-Files movie1, I’ve been revisiting the show on DVD.
Let’s just say that I don’t think season 1 aged very well. Oh, those 90s clothes and haircuts. I just can’t get over the horror of them.
Anyway, I think I’m going to start getting more selective, and watch either the mythology arc with all the “Monster of the Week” episodes trimmed out, or do it the other way around.
For all my quirky habits, I’m not much of a ritualistic person. Some things I do repetitively or consistently out of mere habit, but rarely do things procedurally according to any kind of personal tradition.
Having said that, I do have a bit of a custom when it comes to “retiring” a filled notebook and beginning another. I did this with one of my Moleskines the other day. The first one in a while, actually; it’s pretty rare when I fill one from cover to cover. I always have a bunch of them going at a time, some for specific projects and others lying around for general note-taking and core-dumping. So more often than not, I’ll abandon them at some point, and they’ll just get stuck on a shelf or tossed in a drawer.
But when I hit the back page of a well-worn Moleskine, it’s fun for me to use that as a reason to grab a fresh one, get it ready, and start filling it with ink.
