Obama was in Portland today, and he drew 75,000 people. Not only was it the largest rally of his campaign so far, but it was the largest assemblage of people ever in Oregon. Period. I guess we do have a lot of not-hard-working latte drinking elit...

While Elle was getting her hair styled today, I was wandering about the mall, and made the mistake of going in to Shutterbug. They know me in there, because we go get our hairs cut every 6 weeks, and the same person cuts both our hairs, so I have s...

We're having a bit of a heat wave here in the Willamette Valley. (I guess Washington is getting hit too, but it's Washington so who cares, really?) It looks like the temperature just peaked at 97.4 F. That's hot anywhere, but considering our mean t...

Elle and I schlepped over to central Idaho for the weekend to do the filial duties. As it turns out, extreme macro pictures of Idaho plants look just like extreme macro pictures of Oregon plants. Who would have guessed it? We stopped off in Hermi...

This has to be one of the most unintentionally funny threads I've read in a long, long time. The original post doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you get in to the semantics of it, but on the surface, he asks a simple question: "I didn't pay al...

Got my LensBaby 3G today. What a fun lens, I have to say. It takes a little getting used to, and no TTL means I actually have to pay attention to ISO and exposure, which is a bit of a drag, but I think this is gonna shed new light (har har har) o...

Camera fun. I ordered a LensBaby 3G yesterday, just in time for the spring bloomage; expect many vapid pictures of flowers in the near future.
My question is thus: is there such a thing as an adaptor to use 35mm Nikon lenses with a camcorder? I g...

Sometimes it does snow in April. Go figure. The weather this year seems to be really fucked. I'll grant that I only have 3 years of experience with this joint at this point, but the first two were exactly alike, and everyone was like "oh, this is n...
