Fishkabobs!!!
Why fishkabobs? Because it’s a fisheye on a stick! Just having some fun with the camera, Nikki, Elias, and Moseley in the backyard tonight after work. The stick is the tripod because I’m testing an idea for a monopod, but it’s all I have right now. I was basically shooting these shots from ~6′ away…

Elias turns 20!
Well 20 weeks at least. It’s been another fun, eventful week around the house with Elias. He’s getting more coordinated every day. He can now grab things as he wants. He can take is nuk out and put it back in (upside down most of the time though). He’s rolling over every which way now…

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3
Panasonic announced a new P&S I’m very interested in. It’s the Lumix DMC-LX3 which is an update to the LX2. The LX2 is the pannasonic version of my Leica D-Lux 3… It’s improvements are LESS MP, a LARGER sensor and a 24-60mm f/2.0 lens. So I’d lose a tad on the long end, but I’d…

EAJ Week 19 Update!
Another week, another update! (Yes, the third in 2 days, but for those not checking regularly, they won’t know ) This past week Elias has been learning some more new tricks. Over these past 2 updates he’s learned to sleep w/o being swaddled and he’s learned to eat from a spoon… Well his newest trick…

FOR SALE: Canon 16-35mm L II!
Putting this bad boy up for sale. It’s just too much lens for what I need and I’m going back to the 17-40L. update: sold, 17-40L ordered!

Tuesday night sunset!
Well this past Tuesday we had another beercan race. The wind dropped out pretty bad so our little boat didn’t do very well (it’s won’t by design, but our rating hurts as well leaving us over 8 minutes behind the guys in SECOND TO LAST!). We had a GREAT sail though, we played the shifts…

Week 18 update!
Yes, this is the second of three updates coming this weekend… I know I know, I’m a terrible father for being so behind. NOT! The website/PAD project has actually been a lot of fun, I just hate doing the photoshop end of the photos because my computer is getting old/tired/slow, so that makes that end…

4th of July/Daddy Daycare/Elias turns 4 months old!!!
Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. I did a few small updates during my vacation, but I’m just now getting to a full week update and have 3 to do. Read all 3 updates (this and the 2 to come) to know why. Anyway, “this week” I had my vacation week at work so…

July 4th 2008!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! The 4th also happens to be Andy’s birthday (60 this year, but don’t tell him I told you!) so it’s always a big party down at their beach cottage. Unfortunately this year the motorboat was stuck to the trailer (the people who painted the bottom put it down wet apparently) so…

Daddy Daycare!
Today was my first “entire day” alone with Elias. I’m on vacation, and Nikki used all hers when Elias was born, (I took a week then too, but this week is mandatory where I work) so I’m on vacation alone. It’s not my first time taking care of Elias alone by any stretch of the…

Tuesday night destruction?
Well we raced again last night and collected yet another DFL (due to our rating). We had a great time, but ended up having an embarrassing moment at the dock at the end of the night. Our boat is having some teething issues with its keel. The supplied keel wedges were way too small, so…
