    Felix is moving out of California! Where he goes next is up in the air, but the choices are narrowing as Felix takes more trips around the country. TN, GA, CO, OR, WA, anywhere but CA apparently! Friends from all sports, cycling, climbing, running, and cars gathered at his place…

    I have a confession to make. My lips have never tasted beer. Heck, for the longest time, I didn’t even know that beer was carbonated! After the wedding, we’ve got all these drinks — Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider, Pepsi liters, and Riesling wine — left lying around the house. Somehow, a…

    June 13, 2005

    The June 8 meeting of COBA featured a hands-on demonstration of tripods. Many COBA members brought in their tripods, heads, and accessories to show to the group. I’ve been using my Gitzo 1228, and I never knew how to remove the center column until Jeff demoed it right in front…

    It’s official, Apple will be transitioning to Intel-based Macs in the next two years. The “soul of the Mac” is the operating system, not what processor or hardware the computer runs on. That said, how different is an Intel-based Mac from a stock PC running Windows or Linux? The $999…
