New Toy: Olympus Tough 8010
Jealous of Epon’s fantastic photography on-the-go, I took the plunge and bought a new toy for when I am out enjoying the road sweep under my two wheels. The camera boasts a lot of pixels but more importantly does HD (1280×720) video at 30fps while being tough. Supposedly it can take a 2 meter drop and is somewhat waterproof, though I plan to never test either claim. And yes, this means to expect many pictures of my cycling adventures!

Also of note is the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, speaking about photography:
Picture of the Day: Blue Jay
Busy feeder today with the family of Blue Jays trying to take over the last of the seed. The Pigeons and Squirrels on the other hand are contempt content to pick up the scraps on the ground.
Eating Healthy
It seems it is getting harder and harder to eat healthy. As humans learn more about what makes up food and as we make more genetically altered food I find that being able to understand how food affects you becomes impossible. There are some people that believe in all organic foods, others in being a vegetarian but there are people that contradict these beliefs. I think the best solution is just to take things in smaller portions, there is no need to eat a gigantic slab of steak in one sitting.
Christmas is Coming!
Horray! I love Christmas, but not for its supposed religious background but rather because of what is has morphed in. Of course I am talking about the food! Actually, although the food is good, it is always nice to see everyone in the family. Anyways, I was doing a few shots of the tree tonight, trying to figure out what settings to use and I snapped this. I thought it looked a bit trippy…
Back from Vacation!
Finally back from the Adirondacks, more specifically back from a house on Long Lake. Had a great time and got a ton of work done. I am looking forward to posting more pictures as I process them, including some shots of me water skiing! Also going to post my entry to Ziggy’s article contest in a day or two. Right now it is more than 30 pages long with code so watch out!
