    Photography is not a crime (Federal version)

    Story links: ACLU I ACLU II SLR Lounge I'll keep my political opinions out of this, but it should suffice to say that the surveillance of citizens is reaching McCarthy-era levels. It will be interesting to see how this lawsuit develops. The SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) list is very...

    Can't find ideal walkabout solution

    Or, another suggestion: Forego the walking and buy a good bike. There are some pretty wild looking bikes out there now that (at least I would think) might be even lower impact on the back. I've even seen these rad trikes a lot lately: They have accessory bags you can buy that would hold a...

    A visit to the eye doctor and...

    A visit to the eye doctor and...

    They way he explained it to me (and demonstrated by switching lenses on the thingy) is: At 20ft, I should be able to read the 20/20 line on this chart with proper corrected vision. I can read it, but it's blurry. I can, however, read the line above it just fine.
