Weekend in Pictures

Date December 10, 2007

I’ll be updating my flickr throughout the week as I’m processing a lot of pictures right now. It really blows that Apple has still not came out with the Nikon D300 RAW support. I started the weekend shooting exclusive in RAW. I finished sunday shooting about 50% RAW 50% JPEG. Not only did Adobe Lightroom [...]

Another .25 point later…

Date October 31, 2007

So the Fed dropped another quarter point today. The aftermath? The dollar is at a new low. Oil has crossed over the $95 mark. Gold has now surpassed $800 an ounce.
The way things have been going, I’m not too sure why any central bank would continue to try to stay pegged to the dollar, [...]

Hello, my name is Andy Roddick…

Date October 2, 2007

I got to meet Andy Roddick today at a Babolat promotion at Golfsmith. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge Andy Roddick fan, but you can’t diss a local athlete and America’s #1 tennis player. The best part (besides getting an autograph and a picture with Andy) was watching his serve demo. It was pretty sick. [...]

Race for the Cure ‘07

Date September 10, 2007

Since I’m not going to sign up last minute again this year, I actually have time to look for people to sponsor me for this year’s Race for the Cure. For those who don’t closely follow my life through this blog (haha), I ran it in 34 minutes last year. Although that’s not a particularly [...]

Toast

Date July 23, 2007

Here was my toast to LL & Judy (for those of you who couldn’t be there):
Over the past couple of weeks, people have pointed out that I should really grasp this chance to reveal a few embarrassing stories about Lawrence and Judy publicly. At first, I was really excited about this opportunity as I have [...]

5Ks and 34 minutes later…

Date November 6, 2006

My goal that morning was 34 minutes, so I delivered on my realistic goal. But in honesty, I didn’t train very hard (or really at all) for this. I’ve been running off and on (more off than on recently) for almost a year now, but I never got the motivation to train hard since I [...]
