Rae and I went to the SmugMug holiday party this evening. It was great to run into people from COBA, Stanford, and Eye-Fi. In fact, according to Ziv, one of the founders of Eye-Fi, there were several photographers using Eye-Fi Cards to wirelessly transfer the photos directly to SmugMug’s servers…

In Week 5 of the Low-Key Hillclimbs Series we did a time trial up the backside of Highway 84 and West Old Honda road. After volunteering for the previous week, I was eager to get back onto the saddle and test myself against the clock. Unfortunately, I almost pulled a…
