Industrial espionage update. The replacement caps arrived today! I haven't seen such high quality capacitors since that $250,000 radar receiver circuit board. That I blew up! Ummmm... Twice. Ok, it wasn't actually my fault they blew up, but since I was in charge of the weapon, it was my...

Ok. Since I'm obviously going to spend every waking moment of January plowing my driveway, I'm going to call this Photo #1 of my Project 12. :p I seriously need a bigger tractor. I just spent 2.5 hours plowing about 75 feet worth of snow drifts. Oh, and this isn't what I wanted to do for...

Have you ever wondered what the end result of some industrial espionage that went horribly wrong looks like? Wonder no more. Here's a closer look. Lucky for me, it's only going to cost me $8.91 to replace 9 of them. However, in the meantime, I only have one monitor on my computer and it's...

The snow plow guy came out!! ...then promptly broke the plow. He had to go do some welding, then he'll be back. Hopefully. Got enough cleared that I can get the 4X4 out though. Waiting for him to get back, I found this doorknob. This is on the inside of the house, just to be clear. It's...

Couldn't get any snow plows on the phone last night, so I woke up and started with my baby plow. Got about 60-70 feet and had to go in before I froze to death. Tried some more snow plow guys and finally found one. He should be here in an hour or so. Hopefully.

My wife went to work Sunday when the storm just started, she'll probably be there until Wednesday. She's what they call an "essential employee" We have a wood burner that can actually heat the whole house, but we'll shut off the upstairs and live downstairs if the power goes out. We have lots...

Well, I need some video editing software. The video I took is way too large! haha Here's some photos to hold me over though. I gave up on the plowing, it's getting me nowhere as all the snow is back in minutes. The wind just won't stop. The sheriff has closed all the roads in the county...

Earlier this year... A few minutes ago. Same angle, uncropped, almost same focal length. 5mm difference. Now we're having fun!

Any tractor people out there? I just got done plowing my driveway with my 'ole Toro Wheelhorse. It's from the time when Toro had just purchased wheelhorse, so it's not a true wheelhorse, but it's not as bad as the newer ones. I think it's time to step up to a sub-compact. The little 18hp...

Having just finished up my Project 365 for last year, I've decided to take on a Project 12 for this year! Rough, I know, no need to remind me. :highly_amused: Having shot over ten thousand photos last year, most of which were about learning what different settings would do to the photo, I've...

12/31/2013 This is me. I'm completely spent. There is no artistic ability left. It is over. Happy New Year! My camera is going into retirement for at least a week. Fin. The story behind the photo of my monitor with Google you ask? Well, I came home today and told my wife (Who's going to work...

12/30/2013 This is Bob. We're all shocked he made it through the year. He's 347 years old.

12/29/2013 This is "Kitten" His hobbies are eating catnip, and removing blood from me.

It was kind of a bummer. I was wandering around the dojo taking pictures like this... ...when I noticed he was having them do the Bassi-Dai Kata. Missed the photos, but I figured they'd be doing much more because their blackbelt test was 2 hours. That wasn't the case though. Other than...

12/28/2013 Our Son. Like a BOSS! Both my son and my wife received their 2nd degree blackbelt today.

12/27/2013 Another Present! I think I'm noticing a theme here... I should probably invest in some backdrops, or at least some sheets of paper or something...
