    Photo and camera update 

    Well, I’ve had my camera for a few days now and I can’t get enough of it. Doody stopped by this weekend and we went out shooting Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. We both finished a roll of film and dropped them off at Bangor Photo. They should be developed by tomorrow, I’ll upload them then.

    We also had a little malfunction with Doody’s camera due to an overzealous shutter release cable, so I’ll be posting instructions on how we fixed it.

    I’ve also uploaded a ton of new photos to my flickr account. Please do check them out and let me know what you think! You can also view them by clicking the photography link at the top of this page.

    Candid moment

      Wow, thats a fantastic shot! Was it taken on campus? What settings, wow thats an amazing shot.

      There I am done, that was just an awesome shot. I think our film is ready to go whenever you can pick it up.

      Thats an awesome shot.

    Seagull GC-105: 360 view 

    Seagull GC-105 TLR

    Finally! Thursday night at ~7:30pm I received my Seagull TLR from UPS. Its as cool as I knew it would be. After reading all about medium format and TLR cameras for weeks I’m so glad to finally have it in my hands. The only problem has been that was too dark on Thursday to take any photos and I worked all day Friday! I have managed to sneak out when it wasn’t raining on my break and take a few photos, but I really want to finish this first roll of 120 film to see how it comes out.

    In lieu of taking photos with it, I’ve been examining it, drooling over it, and taking photos of it. Today I’m working all day again, but I will get out a 5pm and still have time to go shoot photos for a couple hours. Doody will probably be up here by then as well (he was in Portland) so we can go TLR shooting together! (More …)

      Kind of funny that I am writing this comment on your blog from your computer.

      Anyway, I look forward to the follow up to this post regarding fixing a shutter problem using remote switches. THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN!

      Was looking through a catalog and found the same camera…I think. Look on Sundancecatalog.com. It’s Robert Redford’s company, mostly clothing, jewelry, and furniture. How odd that your joyous camera was there. Your pics are fantastic! love you–Mom

      Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Exceptional Blog!

    Small Orionid shower this Sunday 

    Orion constellation

    According to SPACE.com, a small Orionid meteor shower will hit its peak this Sunday morning (October 21st).

    This will be a small (a couple dozen an hour) shower, but could be fun to watch if you bring some warm clothing and a thermos.

    I’m definately going to set my cam up and see if I can snag a shot or two. I only got 1 Lyrid earlier this year and it was so faint it wasn’t worth posting. Perhaps I’ll have better luck this time, though my chances will be less. (More …)

    Kaiser Kuo is Full of $hi7 

    Torrentfreak.com has written an article analyzing why there is no way Kaiser Kuo’s claim that Blin.cn’s new P2P technology is 50x faster than Bittorrent. Its definately worth a read to educate yourself about the current state of the art.

    via torrentfreak.com
    TorrentFreak contacted Ashwin Navin, President and Co-Founder of BitTorrent Inc. When confronted with the 50 times faster than BitTorrent claim, he said: “BitTorrent can regularly saturate your downstream capacity, which in layman’s terms means BitTorrent is as fast as you can get. The claim is indicative of the fact that BitTorrent is the global standard for P2P transfers, against which all others are compared. BitTorrent DNA took that standard up significantly, but we don’t run around making sensationalist claims to get buzz.”

    Medium Format Foray 

    I am a little sick today but I was feeling worse yesterday so perhaps I am getting better. It is the usual sore throat and icky overall feeling that makes you know tomorrow you are not going to want to get out of bed. I am not too concerned however, because it is the weekend now and it is pouring rain outside so I do not plan on taking photos unless things let up.

    The wonderful folks at foliagenetwork.com say the leaves are not yet at their peak in my area, although they are very close. I agree with them that the trees are confused by these conflicting periods of very cold/warm weather we have been having. Some places the leaves are vibrant or falling off while 10 feet away they are still green as your neighbor’s lawn.

    Pushing Daisies: A Wonderful Treat 

    I just finished watching the pilot of a new ABC show called Pushing Daisies, and I have to say that I’m trying very hard not to gush about it.

    Pushing Daisies has a very interesting plot in that lead character Ned, played by Lee Pace, can bring the dead back to life. When he touches a corpse, the person springs to life. When he touches them again, they go back to being dead. There is a caviate however. If he leaves a formerly-dead person alive more than 60 seconds, someone in their proximity dies instead. Quite the double-edged sword, that.

      That does sound interesting. I will have to check it out, I am very picky when it comes to TV, it takes something really good to get into it, so if it keeps me, then it definitely is something special. If it doesn’t, that doesn’t mean its bad, it just means it didn’t capture me. It sounds like an interesting plot though. I hadn’t even heard of it until your discussion.

    • B 7:17 pm on 10/15/2007 Permalink

      we made doody watch the second episode heheh
      definitely is awesome
      i’m not sure if it will live up to ‘dead like me’ in my eyes but we’ll just wait and see (i sure do like the trend of pretty gals with guys names – george and chuck haha)

    • euicho 8:38 am on 10/18/2007 Permalink

      Yeah I don’t think anything will live up to Dead Like Me, but it’s a nice standard to hold other shows to. And I totally didn’t pick up on the George/Chuck thing, very good point heheh.

    • Jesse 1:00 pm on 10/18/2007 Permalink

      I liked the comical style of this show quite a bit. I miss George’s potty mouth and cynical view of reality, being the bhudist that I am.
