I found this neat search by sketch service that retreives flickr images (Ajax style) while you sketch.
I sketched this:

F-117 Stealth Fighter at RIAT 2002
I came across some amazing photos of the F-117 Stealth Fighter today. They were taken at the Royal International Air Tattoo in 2002 in England.
From the site:
The F-117 is a little bigger than the initial impression you get—it’s about the same size as an F-15 Eagle. It has a whole range of tricks to make it stealthy, starting with the dark, low contrast paint scheme which makes it so difficult to see at night (or photograph during the day), it’s covered in radar-absorbent materials and its very shape is intended to deflect radar away from the radar station. Its two jet engines are quiet and produce very little smoke, and the outlets from the engines, visible at the rear of the aircraft, mix cool air with the hot exhaust to reduce the type of heat signature that a heat-seeking missile could lock on to. The unusual “butterfly” tail is designed to shield the exhausts so missiles can’t see them.

Flickr Adds Photo Printing
Now (if you live in the United States anyway) you can just take pictures, upload them to flickr, order your favorites for printing and have them delivered right to your door. I heart flickr. This will be awesome for me once it’s available in Canada.
White Water Kayaking
My brother scanned some old photos he took of me kayaking down the Kananaskis white water and posted them on Flickr. I’m still cold.
Malaysia – Day 4
What a great day. I started work today and I really like it. Before I left, I was told that it would take at least an hour and 15 minutes to commute to Sunway. As it turns out the bus ride this morning took exactly 45 minutes. Needless to say I’m pretty happy about the extra 60 minutes that adds to my day.
I did however get to work a little early which gave me a chance to grab some french toast for breakfast and take a couple of pictures around the area.
Found box of vintage film from 1958
The other day Waxy.org linked to someone who found several boxes of negatives at an estate sale. I found the scan #14 particularly interesting because it looks exactly like my Grandpa Scoville. (It isn’t him).
Update: Link rot. Here’s a link to Flickr’s blog about the photos instead.
And here is a photo of my Grandpa:

Family Photos
Last weekend Anna-Maria and I went to Medicine Hat to have our pictures taken with my family. After we spent some time at Gainsboro we decided to take some of our own shots at Strathcona park. Here is a one that my brother Gary got of Anna and me. (We all wore matching outfits).
More pictures at The Milner Blog.
Update: I guess he took the photos down because now that he isn’t in Canada he’s not getting internet / free hosting at Telus. Try browsing some Flickr photos of the same day, instead.
International Junior Art Camp in Japan
It’s March 6, 2012, but I’m writing this here to point out some of the oldest stuff I ever put on the web.
My “International Art Camp” trip to Japan.
Update: My brother scanned all of our family negatives including the photos I took on my trip to Japan. Here they are after the jump:
