The new lens arrived this morning. Amazon listed the item as “unknown delivery date” until sometime Wednesday evening, and then on Thursday before I returned home, the lens had shipped and it arrived today. This lens concludes the summer upgrades to my camera system. At this point the lens has only been used for about […]
As a network concept for a potential change in network hardware, to more fully utilize available client systems, the idea of a gigabit router was proposed, and doing one with Wireless N support seemed like a great idea. My question on this topic is now, who designs these things? These things look like spacecraft and […]
It happens occasionally… http://www.gastongazette.com/articles/college-35187-degrees-gaston.html
I have mixed feelings about this photograph. Sometimes I look at it and want to do a poster-sized print of it to place on my bedroom wall, other times I look at it and think about how badly blurred it is. The color draws me to it, but so does the motion. I am conflicted […]
Yesterday I blogged that there was no new assignment for CMK5. That has since changed. CMK5 will very likely be assigned to replace CMK4 as the mail/file/print server, as well as maybe take some of the virtual machine burden off of CMK6.

Meet CMK7, the newest member of my fleet. This system is the direct successor to CMK5, my 5 year old, aging, desktop. Surprisingly, CMK7 was built to replace CMK5 because CMK5 was running too warmly, not because of any other issues related to speed or hardware problems. Physically, CMK7 stands about 6 inches shorter, and […]

As a result, I have altered my schedule accordingly and added courses that I need to my schedule. I did not get all of the courses I want, but I can’t really complain, since I have a […]
I received my new Nikon SB-600 on Monday. I have not had a lot of time to play with it, but from what I have seen, it eliminates harsh shadows and allows me to adjust the angle of light in a very flexible way. The LCD on the back is a little intimidating at first, […]
I have used a variety of photo printing systems to have photos printed in the past year. Now a year after starting most of my accounts with these printers, I am receiving emails stating that my photos will be deleted if I do not order from these places. I do not quite get this. I […]
After carefully considering my lens options for standard lens, I have decided to change from the originally selected Nikon AF 50mm lens, and have instead selected the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens. I was originally going to obtain the 50mm, which is somewhat above the normal range for the purpose. The 35mm lens […]
