Boom.

My new toys are in.

Cost of upgrade: $260. Net boost in value: $800. Thank you, Diablo 2, for teaching me how "Buy Low, Sell High" works in real life.

Flash Cord Victory.

For what its worth, this was in a cemetery in Julian. There were gravemarkers from the 19th Century. Would be a creepy ass place at night. No PP at all. This is just me trying to re-learn manual mode.

I'm learning. One day with a flash cord and I already want poppers. China poppers though. Radio poppers are too expensive.

Scheduling.

Cycling Road 2010 calendar is out, and its a bit disappointing. Cal race weekend is gone because their officers are not just the usual type of douche, but with added idiot in them. And since everyone requested an April date, I don't get Stanford race because the San Marcos one is less than 30 minutes away.

Three races for sure with two-three more possible. I hope race dues are low as I really don't have much motivation to go out and crash myself again.

Shellfish Down!

"Nevertheless, the hate crimes law is extraordinarily bad public policy and represents significant danger to evangelicals who are committed to a biblical understanding of human sexuality."

-James A. Smith Sr., Florida Baptist Witness

I'm reading this as "Evangelicals who take the Bible too seriously and attempt to impose it upon others will be punished because... committing a hate crime." Funny how laws are suddenly not valid when they work against you.

Teddy Bear would like to apologize...

Poorly executed, over-processed HDR's are no longer allowed under my new photography regime.

Teddy Bear, Attack!

Taiwanese Transformers Military Wow!

Where the hell do I sign up for the Taiwanese Transformers Army/Navy/Air Force?

Did anyone else notice the F-16 transformer landing next to the Bird's Nest? I wonder what they're hinting at there... *ahem* One China
