Even dad can do it.

I was with Michelle and Sebo at the self-checkout in Kroger and I overheard the self-serve Kodak picture center blaring out a voice-recording, advertising their Easy and Quick collage system. The thing that struck me as strange was when the woman’s voice said “Making a collage with your photos is so easy, even dad can do it.” Made me think of the Geico “Even a caveman can do it” commercials.

Thanks, Kodak.

Hardee’s

by aaron on July 22nd, 2009

You know how there are those business locations that just can never seem to, well, stay in business? We have one of those in Bellevue. Actually we have a TON of those in Bellevue, but there’s this one place next to the McDonald’s that’s just never been able to maintain a decent tenant. For years Michelle and I have been saying it would be a GREAT place for a Baja Fresh. Well, they’ve flattened the lot and they are starting to build a Hardee’s. Now, while I’m a little happy about this, since the nearest Hardee’s (Carl’s Jr for all you West Coast people) is about 20-30 minutes away, I would have to say that Hardee’s is pretty much the mathematical opposite of Baja Fresh.

Oh well. There’s also an empty place on Hwy 70 where I think would make a great location for Bongo Java West. But I’m not holding my breath.

Here’s a great feature on one of my new galleries in Florida. It was shot a few weeks before they had any of my art, so no Aaron cameos in this one :)
