September 29th, 2008 Barack Obama
And you should be listening to him and his vision. Do not listen to the lies of John McCain. Do not allow our country to go further into the downward spiral which would be perpetuated by John McCain and Sarah Palin. He is broadcasting his speech to students in Denver at http://my.barackobama.com/ [...]

September 24th, 2008 The following is taken from Library of Congress which records the activity of the excutive branch, The Senate and the House. This occurred yesterday on the house floor.

September 23rd, 2008 Had a really nice day visiting Viktor in Valencia. Enjoyed the ranch animals, the mountains, the dogs, and getting to know him a little. Had steaks grilled for dinner and gave the bones to pups. I would say it was a day that was indicative of country life out of the city.

September 21st, 2008 Update: yet another new gallery. I am using Flickr embed style. I hope this is best option. A few friends gave me some tips on making my galleries display better on the blog. So after toying with several different plugins and options within wordpress , I decided that Benjamin Sterling’s plugin works perfectly. Thanks for [...]
September 19th, 2008 I went for a cool and fun day trip in the OC with my friend Carol. She knows all the good places to take me. I have gone down a few other times over past year. I would not call her the typical Scorpio. Much more quiet than usual ones. First we went to [...]
September 13th, 2008 I was actually going to see Seth Clark but due to a scheduling issue, Jason had a substitute. Turned out to be a different type since Josh is beefier and appeals to a different group. There were only 10 people in the audience. I think Jason needs to get the advertising issues ironed out.

September 12th, 2008 I thought of another consideration for depth of field context. This is when using a smaller point and shoot camera. These cameras have put photography in the hands of almost everyone who walks in public. You cannot go out without seeing a tourist pointing a camera. Thus I wanted to address how depth of field [...]
September 11th, 2008 60mm at f5.6 should yield less depth of field but you can see more background
55mm at f4.5 should have less depth of field but you can see more background
I wanted to do a follow up posting to the one about Depth of Field. I forgot to mention that as I [...]
September 11th, 2008 I did the quickie upgrade process which I have down pat now for minor patch updates (2.6.x) so that all you need do is delete wp-admin , wp-includes, and main directory php files (with exception of config) and just transfer over these new files. You do not need to deactivate plugins when its an minor [...]
September 10th, 2008 A fairly simple way to determine Depth of Field (DOF) when using an SLR camera is by following some simple steps. There are three factors which determine how ‘deep’ or ‘shallow’ your photo is rendered. First is the distance between the focal plane(camera) and the subject. If you are close to the subject, say a [...]
September 9th, 2008 There have been some recent changes to the big providers of wifi hotspots, those which are not free. So here is an update with all currently available wifi options in the USA. I currently use TMobile which provided hotspots at all Starbucks, Borders, Fed Ex Kinkos, and some hotels and airports. However Starbucks decided to [...]
September 6th, 2008 Spent the day at the best beach in southern california. It is clean, no bums, and has hot guys playing sports. Who could ask for better? My mohawk did fall a little after the ocean air was blowing for a while. I did not care. I was relaxed and enjoying the sun and the [...]
