Town Meeting Display

I’m still on thing 11, and not doing much about it, either, because I’ve been so distracted getting ready for Town Meeting. I spent the weekend getting photos chosen, edited and printed. Then last night I thought it would be a piece of cake to transfer the slide show onto the helmet (iMac with the movable screen). There were so many photos that I was forced to streamline things. Finally ended up with 295. That’s ridiculous. (Get me going about my newly developed bad habits brought about by digital photography.) Took forever to transfer, but it was worth it. This was a very nice display of the sort of thing that happens at the library.

The scenery was tacked on the bulletin board, with a photo of each puppet, and a question about it that sort of told the story. The thespians’ (puppeteers to be exact) pictures are on the right, and the computer screen at the bottom is flashing scenes from the three days. I’ll leave it at the school for a few days, then use it to pretty-up the library.

Our increased appropriation was approved with nary a word against. (Of course, this was such a dull Town Meeting that even the 2 million dollar school budget passed with hardly a murmur. Would I prefer the fireworks of the last several years???????)

Well, I’m trying to make this photo fit, and I’m not doing very well. You still can’t see the right edge the way I can in the edit window. I’m never going to get past thing 11 if I can’t make it look the way I want it to look. Gives me something to aim for–getting past 11.

And the avitars that others are posting. I’m getting bogged down with posting my photos on MySpace and missing something here. Wake up, Cathi.
