    Tomorrow morning, Rae and I are headed to Burning Man. We’re still sorting out our packing and gear selection; I’ll probably just bring two to three lenses with me and try to minimize lens changes out on the playa. See you all in a week!

    Post this under things you shouldn’t say when you’re on camera. Our Mayor, Patricia Mahan, was caught on tape last month muttering under her breath, “You’re Wasting Your Time” in response to residents who were concerned about the use of public assets to build the new San Francisco 49ers stadium…

    Last week, we had the opportunity to watch an Oakland A’s game in a box suite, thanks to Ellen and Jerome. Watching a live baseball game in a suite is very different from being in the stands. In the latter, I often find myself trapped in my seat. On the…

    Next week, Rae and I are heading to Black Rock City for Burning Man. Though we’ve had numerous opportunities to go in the past, it’ll be our first time. I’m curious to hear what people’s experiences have been like bringin DSLRs to the event. I’ve read that the dust there…

    Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

    August 19, 2007

    For me, the most intriguing feature of the just-announced Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is the increased megapixel count of the sRAW images. An sRAW image is just like a normal RAW file but smaller. The new camera takes enormous 21MP images at 5616 x 3744 pixels in size; for professional…

    Here’s the photo of the tree root that we cut the other day. Doesn’t it look like a Flood Infection Form from Halo? It took us over an hour to saw and rip that thing out of the ground. We had to saw off roots from at least six separate…

    We’re in the midst of replacing one of our fences here at our house this week. Over the weekend, we cleared out a lot of vegetation a foot from the base of the fence. Gardening is hard work, especially since we don’t have green thumbs! Today, Duran Fencing took out…

    From the AntiWar blog, an interview with Dick Cheney from 1994 talking about why Bush I government did not invade Iraq during Gulf War I. I’ve emphasized certain sections in bold below: Q: Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad? A: No. Q: Why…

    I’ve expressed some doubts about the new Chargers’ uniforms, but I will say the blue home outfits do look nice in this Nike commercial featuring LaDainian Tomlinson. I’m more worried about the away white uniforms. I still don’t like how the shoulder bolt looks skinny (being blue, powder blue, and…

    My Air Free Tires finally arrived at the house today. I ordered them on July 18th and it took some time to get here. “Better late than never,” I thought as I cracked open the box. I’ve been looking forward these solid tires after having suffered through several flats during…
