  1. And a few from Washington Park, above downtown Portland.
  2. Got some new ones for ya. Portland pano 1 Portland pano 2
  3. Holy crap! This is amazing! I mirror Shariq's desire for a mojito right now.
  4. I've never read the Green Lantern, but I've always like the theory of the story, so I'll certainly be seeing this one.
  5. Does anyone else like to futz around with that Ocarina app by Smule? I've been playing around with it for a while now and am slowly building up a small repertoire. Lately I've been working on "A Boy and Pigeons" from Laputa/Castle in the Sky. I think I have the primary melody down, okay, and am now starting to work on the other verses. I've found that F Zeldarian works best. Ocarina linkage: http://ocarina.smule.com/my-ocarina/track/1680912
  6. Some new shots of Steel and Broadway bridges...
  7. I am trying to find an elegant solution to hook two HDMI cables to my computer. For a long time I've used an HDMI to DVI for my second monitor (res = 1920x1080) and now I would like to also hook up my TV (720p) for easy Hulu viewing, and the like. I've been on Amazon and such looking for HDMI switcher boxes, but virtually all of them go from multiple inputs to a single output (like when hooking up a DVD player and PS3 to a TV that has only one HDMI port). What I need, however, is a simple, inexpensive box that does the opposite; that goes from a single input (my laptop's HDMI port) to two outputs (my monitor and TV). Can anyone recommend any such device that doesn't cost a lot (say, sub-$20)?
  8. Having started to settle into life in Portland, Oregon, I've started to find time to do some shooting. I'm loving my new A550. I have yet to remove my 50mm f/1.4 lens.
  9. Not only did I just make this into my new ringtone, but I also just learned how to play it on that Smule Ocarina app!
  10. I just picked up an iPhone 4 (16GB) and now I need to get some custom ringtones going. For the longest time I've been using the Super Mario Bros. theme, but now I'm thinking maybe one of the thousands of remixes would be a good way to "plus" it. What are some remixes that would make a good ringtone?
  11. So I have the opportunity to finally get my hands on my own DSLR. My manager is offering me his Sony A550, a 50mm f/1.4, 18-55mm f/3.5 - 5.8, and a 55-200mm f/4-5.6, and an extra battery for (effectively) $400. I don't think I can pass this one up...as much as I am trying to resist the temptation. Here are a few test shots from my likely-camera-to-be.
  12. This had better win an Academy Award or two. It's like Ocean's 11 (or Lupin III) meets The Matrix.
  13. Offer then $5 and a chicken and I'm sure they let you take it. There's not a lot of demand for organs these days.
  14. I'd be looking at about $200, retail. That includes printing and mounting. I'm asking $300 at the moment.
  15. Pinhole is the purest, most simple form of photography. By learning and understanding it (along with other historical processes) one gains a more rounded understanding of photography; its history, its present, and its future. It also has a certain artistic appeal, giving up some control. With pinhole you get a nearly infinite depth of field and you get loooong exposures. some of mine run into the five to ten minute mark, which I think more properly conveys time, which is an often overlooked spacial element in photography. People are always focused on capturing the moment, a single instant. What about long periods of time? Pinhole gives you the chance to capture a "temporal average" of a place in a span of time. It's more four dimensional, like cubism; which is to say you have the physical X and Y axes, the visual Z axis, and the conceptual time axis, all of which are displayed in a single image, all at once. A couple of more shots from my last test roll.
  16. Hm, that made a lot more sense when I typed it last night. o_0 Ice 101 does weird crap to you...
  17. Sweet zombie Jesús on a pogo stick! Episodes 30, remix, Undertow remix, where download must has! Can I!?
  18. It's not at all video game related, but it's worth a go... For Sale Gentlemen of style and good taste renowned! Lend me your eyes! This dark grey/charcoal suit is from Alfani's RED collection, in like new condition, and was only worn three or four times. This suit includes the jacket (38R), waistcoat (38R), and pants (tailored to 31/30). The details are what make the suit. Peak lapels on the double vented jacket, two-button front, and slimmer silhouette make for a sleek, modern look with classic appeal. The waistcoat even includes great details, like notched lapels. It's perfect for work, weddings, parties, or a night out. Plus, the dark grey color works with dress shirts both dark and light, solid or patterned. You're not limited to formal events, either. You can even use the jacket and waistcoat in your daily wardrobe. I love the simple combination of the waistcoat over a white button-up and a pair of inky colored jeans and sneakers, for a casual outfit that bumps it up a notch (Women love this look, it really puts you a step above the other guys). Or simply throw on a black t-shirt, jeans, and the jacket for an evening out with friends. The suit has been stored in a smoke-free house and kept in a proper garment bag to protect it. Every man needs a proper suit, and this is an opportunity not to be passed by. I paid over $300 for this suit (on sale), but I'm offering it to you, my fellow Overclockers, today for $235, which includes shipping to the lower 48. And yes, you can have the fancy hanger that came with it. ....................
