The Week in Photos

We started the week off with the cats sleeping. They do that a lot. They get more use out of the couch than the people who paid for the couch, so really, I guess we bought a couch for the cats.

Milwaukee Wave

We went to the last Milwaukee Wave home game of the regular season, and it was Fan Appreciation night. Here’s Jonathan Santos signing Dana’s jersey.

Mac x Mac

Had a heck of a time battling with a MacBook that wouldn’t boot… not even from external drives or the optical drive. Only ‘Safe Mode’ would work. Still working on this…

Chroma Green

At work we painted the cyc wall green for a big green screen shoot we’ll be doing this week…

Cat Top

You walk away from your MacBook for 5 minutes, and this is what happens…

Desk

The desk is a bit crazy right now… Besides the two displays of the Mac Pro, the MacBook is also there, and way over on the left is the Eee PC which may be brought into service with an Arduino attached for some remote monitoring…

R2D2

And lastly, I’d like to thank Dana for allow this to hang in the kitchen. I just hope George Lucas doesn’t show up and try to duct tape a jet pack onto it.

Cameras I’ve Owned

Cameras

My daughter interviewed me for a school project, and we talked a lot about cameras… specifically, the cameras I’ve used and owned. So here’s a quick visual guide to the cameras I’ve owned.

Kodak Disc Camera, Olympus D150, Nokia 7610, Nikon Coolpix L4, Nokia N75, Nikon D40, Apple iPhone 3G, Apple iPhone 4S.

I’m sure there were a few others along the way, but this is what I could remember, or dig up through EXIF data. And yeah, the fact that 4 of them are phones does seem weird, or maybe not weird enough nowadays. When I had the two different Nokias, those were actually my primary cameras at the time. The camera in the iPhone 4S is pretty darn good, but yeah, I’m still rockin’ the D40 after 3 years, and it’s still working well, though I’m eyeing up some other Nikons as I’m contemplating the DSLR video stuff. And hey, how about that Kodak Disc Camera? Crazy stuff, with those silly discs instead of rolls of film. (And I mean discs of film, not discs of data.)

I think I’d like to create another image with all the cameras I’ve used at work added in, because that should be a pretty extensive list of gear…

Quelab, Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was in Albuquerque, and had hoped to visit Quelab while I was there, and I did… sort of.

Due to my tight schedule I was unable to coordinate with any of the members to find a time I could meet up with any of them there, so when I did get some free time I took a little photo walk and managed to snap a few shots of the place.

So no stamp for my Hackerspace Passport this time, but hey, maybe I’ll make it back to Albuquerque someday, right?
