Quick Storm
We had a quick storm roll through around sunset today and the quality of the light was gorgeous. I knew it would only last a short time so I grabbed the gear and headed out to see if I could find anything. I only had about 10 minutes of good light so I took what I could get.

Confusion Over USB Naming Conventions:
Lately there has been some confusion over what to call the Universal Serial Bus. (USB) Some computer makers have apparently mis-labeled some products fooling customers into believeing they were getting more than they really were. Here is my attempt to clarify the situation. Be sure to grab a glass of milk, because it's a bit dry.

Yup, it's a jellyfish.
Yup, it's a bird in a nest.

Island Weekend
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend the weekend out on Middle and South Bass Islands. These are just some goofy off-the-cuff pictures I managed to grab in between "refreshments."

Just a bridge
I don't know what to say about this, except it's the last picture from Tasmania that I'm going to post. No advice, no explanation. It's just a bridge I crossed once.

Music Sharing Workaround Found For Itunes
This is something new to my WebLog, added by request if you can believe it. Whenever I write an article for The Mac Observer, I'll add a link here.
It was only a matter of time. Only a few days have passed since TMO reported on Apple removing iTunes music sharing support for computers outside your local network and someone has already found a workaround.

In Remembrance
While in Australia this past May, I had the honor of meeting Wayne Papps, a fantastic photographer working for the Australian Antarctic Division. He was warm and friendly and I felt lucky for the few minutes we had to speak. The work he did was breathtaking and I am truly humbled by his talent.
The loss of this great photographer is a tragedy not only to the large number of people he and his work affected but to photography itself. We are lucky that Wayne will live on through his photographs.
