thoughts on "Planet Earth"

Looking at the 1st disc now and it really is utterly beautiful. High quality, high-def nature photography always blows me away!

The appeal is somewhat nostalgic as well. For about, say, 5 minutes when I was, say, 8 years old, I wanted to be a wildlife photographer. The idea of going to the middle of nowhere to take beautiful photos of animals really appealed to my dog/animal loving, unsocialized geeky self.

(Because it's too long for a Tweet)

I've rewired.. what? 5? 6? blades now?

And despite all the recommendations of plastic packaging, toothpicks, exacto knives, etc. I'm still finding it easiest to get the wire into the groove with my bare hands.

Of course this means getting metric buttloads of glue all over my hands, but there's still nothing like the fine control offered by tactile feedback and fingernails.

And I have to move very fast so as not to glue myself to the blade. This has only happened once. I was using super glue as opposed to much more sluggish/sloppy blade glue.

The 3rd of 3 is drying now. I'm crossing my fingers/toes/anything else that will cross that this works and I won't have to rewire anything for awhile!
