MAA: Moleskine Addicts Anonymous

Yes, I am addicted. I am currently planning to turn an old Moleskine of mine into a case for my new iPod. Fun, eh?

Fast Times at the Lane

So, at work earlier, we had Joe Rogan show up. Yeah, the Fear Factor guy. This wasn't particularly exciting to me, since I couldn't possibly care any less about Fear Factor or Mr. Rogan, but it was interesting nonetheless. Of course, some moron had to go over there and ask to take a picture with the guy, which is just kind of annoying, but what're ya gonna do? /celebrity sighting story

In other news, I have purchased a 16 GB iPod Touch, and am currently using it to write this post. I thought it might be useful in the UK this summer, for directions and such, but it's really rather handy all around. I can access school files on the university's website, store other files, such as Latin homework, check my bank account, read the complete works of Shakespeare, or perhaps my favourite G.K. Chesterton novel. Oh, and it plays music and stuff. So far, it's looking like a great alternative to lugging my MacBook Pro around everywhere, which can be a hassle at times. Anyways, it's a good product, as well as a much more economical alternative to the iPhone.

That's all for now, I must sleep.

Lack of Blog = Lazy Trog

Yes, I just called myself a troglodyte. But there hasn't been anything to rile me up lately, and therefore, nothing to write about. There have been copious amounts of photgraphy, which I'd love to post on this site, but I have no reliable hosting service. Flickr is great, but I can only upload a certain amount of data per month, and I've already used my quota. Sad day. However, I've ordered some more prints, three 12x18's, to be precise(to be precise, three 12x18's), so that should be good. My 20x30 print of the cactus(this one) turned out magnificently, so I am sure these other three will be just as good, if not better.

More later, when I am not quite so sleepy.

P.S. Extra points if you spotted the hidden reference I made. If not, nevermind.

A Few Photos

Well, I'm back at school. I got a little bit of relaxation in St. Louis during a week-long trip up north. I did a lot of photography while I was there. Some of the better pictures are on Flickr, but here are a few of my favourites. (Click to enlarge and then use the "All Sizes" button at the top to view the full size photo)

A wider angle

So, I finally bought another lens for my Nikon D60. It's a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens, which I purchased at a local camera store. I originally bought a Tamron 10-24mm, but upon further inspection and research, I decided that I'd be better off with a different lens, even if the range on the Sigma isn't as wide. I'm happy with the lens so far, the construction seems solid and it feels good on the camera. I'm looking forward to really testing it out this coming week while I'm in St. Louis. Hopefully I'll be able to capture some decent photos.
