I need some help. I bought a large picture screen divider, though I got it much cheaper at Aaron Brothers. It can hold 15 8×10s, in a portrait form. Now, I just need to fill it!
I’ve gone through my 14,000 photo collection, and picked out 121 (how did I get that number? Just what [...]
Someone had to go and do it. Straight out of a movie or a comic book, it’s the No-Contact Jacket. Designed to provide 80,000 volts straight to an attacker, the jacket is designed as a protective measure for women. Feel insecure, or just want some bus space? Zap the guy brushing up against you, and [...]
Oh goody, another crazy Woman’s crusade against bar spawns free speech case - Los Angeles Times. I’ve walked passed the Village Inn, the bar in question, many times, and never noticed anything going on like that. Can’t say that I’ve ever been inside though, it just didn’t seem like my kind of place.
Still, it’s always [...]
I finished this afternoon Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Dounding of the U.S. Navy by Ian W. Toll, a first time author. Looking at the cover, I thought “probably a dry read, but interesting”. I was half right, it was interesting, but not dry. Fortunately, it is a book about an ocean going [...]
I’m in the process of upgrading this site to Development Blog ›WordPress 2.1 Ella. Hopefully it goes smoothly, if it doesn’t, you won’t know, because you won’t see this post!
Crud, this has been in my to do list for a while, but here it is. For some reason, some of the picture links aren’t working, but I’ll try to figure it out soon.
Starting in December, many local cities have their Christmas Parades.
The first Sunday of Decmeber is usually the Downey Christmas Parade, which has [...]
I’ve been meaning to mention it for a while (several months actually), but my friend Sarah has started a blog, The Da[i]ly City View.
I’ve added her to the links on the side.
There is a lot in there about her dog Abigail, and a little about being a law student in the bay area.
So in addition to the cold weather we’ve been having, a quick rainstorm hit the LA basin. Only, it wasn’t just rain:with snow levels below 1000 feet. If it had been a Saturday, I might of gone up there to take some pictures.
We had a Scout campout scheduled for this weekend to Malibu Creek State [...]
Stranded camper was on the brink as help arrived - Los Angeles Times
That’s a very lucky person there. To be stuck in the wilderness for 3 weeks, after your food runs out…. Just a very lucky person to be alive.
Comet McNaught has been visible for a few days now. I finally got out on the roof at sunset and shot a few pictures. I had my ISO at 400, but I probably should of gone lower.
A couple notes. I want a stronger tripod than the 50 dollar Best Buy one I have, and I [...]
