Slight modification to the categories page

No pic of the day for today but I did take some time to make a slight modification to the blog software. Before the category pages would show a minimal view of each entry that didn’t include pictures which made the Pic of the Day category page pretty much useless since it had no thumbnails or anything. So I modified the software a bit to make it so that it shows the same preview as the main blog index page.

One of these days I’ll un-lazify myself enough to redo the top banner images so they are the same width as this template. Those images were originally made to go with a different template. I guess I should get some newer images into the rotation while I’m at it.

I’ve also been thinking about putting all these pics of the day up on smugmug or something so people could get prints if they wanted. Hmm maybe.

Good old Pioneer Chicken

Pioneer chicken locations have all but disappeared but there are still a couple around, like this one at Florence and Garfield in Bell Gardens that I frequent. Let me tell you, I love fried chicken with a passion and there is no crispy, crunchy, juicy, delicious fried chicken skin like Pioneer. The secret is the artery-clogging fat they fry it in, one of the last bastions of the old way of doing things before anybody heard of trans fats or “good cholesterol”

Yum!

Flowers n' Beez

The obligatory “flowers ‘n’ bees” shot from my new Canon S90. So far I love this camera. I love the way the ring selector thingy works. This camera is quick to operate in manual mode. I should save the full review for a dedicated post. Yeah. OK. Also since I missed the last like… week or more of pics of the day, here’s another one, also from the back yard:

75°F, Sunny. Perfect.

Downtown Los Angeles

I shot this last night but it was after midnight so I’m going to count it as today’s pic of the day. This is the view from the parking lot at Dodger Stadium.

And another one from earlier in the evening but not before midnight:

Magic Hour

This was from this evening’s sunset. The next couple days might have more pics from today, maybe.
