No, it’s not nearly as perverted as it sounds. I finally dug up the manual to the flash unit (the AG360FGZ for anyone whose counting) and started going through the different settings, learning (by doing this time) about high speed sync, leading/trailing curtain, different wireless modes, etc. I’ve read through them before of course, but […]

The kitten (a beta name of ‘Carbon’ (as in carbon copy of mom, dad, and other cats in the house) is under discussion right now) discovered a) a bowl and b) another kitten in the same bowl in the mirror! Sadly wasn’t able to get any shots of the pair playing, maybe tomorrow 🙂 Anyone

I just re-read this blog post on Vista security as it was linked from the Vista SP1 RTM announcement and had a thought…. Internet Geeks: Linux and mac are so much more secure than windows! Look at how few vulnerabilities there are for them! Microsoft and Friends: Those OSs only have a few percent of

Just a(nother) quick kitten post, this time including a movie posted. Kitten is starting to explore much more, and is getting used to being picked up and cuddled by people. The cutest thing lately is that she/he will sleep in the nest on top of mom’s legs, with front paws wrapped around mom’s legs and
