smokin’ CF
Strange. I tried copying some photos off a CF card I haven’t used in a while. This card has never been used with the newer card reader. No matter what I did, it wouldn’t show up. Then I noticed a “hot” smell, and when I went to pull the card Continue Reading

camera strap
Picked up a new toy, this week. Well, I picked up several, but this one is my favorite so far — a new camera strap. The old strap — from Epic Software — itself was holding up fine. But the connectors for attaching it to the camera were failing one-by-one. Continue Reading

photographer
While looking at pictures of a photographer who recently died, I notice in dozens of photos, he is never holding a camera. Old pictures of photographers… say… 1800s through approximately 1960s, when you saw a “candid” picture of a photographer, they had a camera in their hands or in front Continue Reading

good weekend
Click on any photo to be taken to the full set. (Questions or comments about why so many pictures have attractive women in them, will probably be answered with “duh”)

Loved this woman. Incredible attitude. Looked like she would eat somebody if they got in her way.

today’s moronic moment
I’ve been looking for years for a decent “To Do” application. Much as I hate the idea of it, I am much more productive at work when I have lists to keep me organized. (10 – 15 jobs at any given time, with various stages in each…) Something that lets Continue Reading

Bradbury
IMO, Ray Bradbury can put words together like no one else. I would read a recipe book, if he wrote it. But as he has shown repeatedly in recent years, he is a cranky old fart. 🙂 Thankfully I don’t need to worship someone to like what they produce.

Love this shot
I have no doubt I am being greatly biased by my wonderful memories of Friday night, but… I really like this kind of picture. Reasonably good quality. Highly dynamic. High Contrast. Capturing a very specific, unique moment. And it never would have looked this good on my previous camera. There Continue Reading

KoolAid
Walked past the Chinatown subway exit on my way to a store on the same block. Went in, found what I wanted right away. I paid and left. Walked back towards the metro. People were crowded around. But there was a guy playing Caribbean music, so i just figured he Continue Reading

Navicat
I think I love Navicat. I have used it as a desktop-based, graphical user interface for various databases. It can handle MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases. Has every conceivable option for connecting to said databases. (Most of my clients’ only allow for local access: no problem. VPNs? Secure servers? no Continue Reading
