WHY IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK

Someone please make something like a Flip HD with a Canon EOS lens mount!!

news!

I did buy a camera; a Canon EOS 30D. My main lens is a Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8. I also got ahold of some old Canon AF lenses, most notably a 75-300mm F4-5.6. I have been sporadically posting photos on my flickr account.

The photo gear is not, however, my biggest news...

Sophie's pregnant. We're having a baby!!

^_^

name-plate! woot!

Jeez, I need to buy a camera soon.


iPhone 3GS camera:

Motorola W385 camera:

I am happy.

I got a job on the Research & Development team Pavlov Media (an ISP in Champaign). I started September 2nd. I have two bunnies, a cat, an awesome wife, and two nephews. What's not to love?

BTW my camera is dead. I'm waiting to get a new one until I can afford something good. Photos that show up in the meantime will be from my father-in-law's Digital Rebel XTi, most likely using the fast fixed 50mm.

OMG JOB

• I almost have a job. Seriously. I'm currently being a perfectionist about the little Java homework they sent me home with.
• Someone asked me what my favorite band is, and I think it is Fleet Foxes or Vampire Weekend.
• I recently removed the supercharger from my car. I also put a new/used short block in it, so I finally have even compression. I even autocrossed it last week! Yay!
• I finally popped the engine out of my motorcycle and started taking it apart. Hopefully I'll get time to work on it again this weekend.
• I can land TS FS 180's on the wakeboard now.

ALMOST DONE

Yes, this is my first post this semester... and my last post as an undergraduate student at the UIUC!

I want to get my motorcycle running again; it has been neglected so far this year. :(

Elm Street

It's been awhile since I've updated, so I figured I'd share a few pictures and give some quick status about my life. Sophie and I are pretty much all settled into our cute little apartment now.  Its a 2 bedroom (bedroom + office)... there's a shot of the bedroom.  Sophie brought her cat to live with us, he's about 2 years old now, and he likes the office closet. 

   

The next shot is of my with a stupid blue contact in... I say "stupid" because it was a HUGE pain to put in, never again... I now hate contacts. Lastly, a picture of me comforting my brother's adorable dog/baby after he slipped and bumped his head.

sopie is cool

  
i'm getting married really soon... empty tank! ohno!

Effin Summer

can I try?

The rest of the vacation pictures can wait... this thing looks soo fun. I'd wanna try it headfirst (handstand on a trap door? yes, please)



This one is pretty awesome too... I'd have to try it a bit slower first, or at least see a few people survive. Looks like the impacts on takeoff & landing could both really hurt.

driving

Sophie and I are safely in Shelby, NC now. My cousins Josh and Jeff are both happily married! The drive was good... long but good. It was 50 and rainy when we left, and when we arrived it was 75 and beautiful (even at 11:30pm). More on this later, Sophie just took off for the pool, so I must hurry to catch up!

EMERGENCY MONSTER ASSAULT

I'm has'ing vacation tomorrow through next Friday... Sophie and I are driving to Shelby, North Carolina tomorrow morning, leaving before dawn. Wee! Presently, I'm still trying to finish up my projects at work, or at least get them presentable for anyone else to check out of the repository while I'm gone. I had a bit of a late night last night, so I had to come up with an extra-awesomely ridiculous beverage for the mid-to-late-afternoon kick today. Fantastic.

F T W

gettin' jacked!

I forgot to bring the obligatory armful of Monster Khaos 24oz'ers to work today, and was feeling pretty tired by the mid-afternoon. Not wanting to drink the lukewarm coffee from that morning, Jason and I decided to try something crazy... to our knowledge it hadn't been attempted before, but that is precisely why we thought it just might work.

I've been kind enough to generate equations that approximate our findings... feel free to use them whenever you have an afternoon energy crisis.
