Omg. A 43c day in Melbourne. Doesn’t even begin to describe how hot it is. Feels like living in a radiator. Now Serena Williams vs. Dementieva is like watching two power hammers motor away. In row C. Glad roof is up at open.

Wow. Weather forecast is out. Lots of 43C days in Melbourne. That is over 109F. So cooking hot. Also power demand is breaking records. They say it is 100 year heat wave. Having an open electricity trading system makes it so much easier to plan.

Cool places to hang out. The BOA Steakhouse and also the Viceroy for drink. I have never felt so trendy and cool. Except maybe in Shanghai :-0

It used to be that the main game in town for a compact SLR was the D40x and the Nikon 18-200 superzoom. Now the market has caught up and both Canon as well as Sigma and Tamron have shipped superzooms. So if you have a subframe camera, what’s a good…

I’ve been using DxO for a while now as a RAW converter mainly to handle vignetting, but also for things like highlight recovery. The 4.0 version was great, but the new 5.0 has had lots of bugs, so I haven’t upgraded. Now with a new Canon EOS 5D Mark II,…

I think John mentioned this to me, but he’s right, the Greeks didn’t judge people by how they felt, but by what they did. In reflecting on the last three months, he is really right. People who I thought were going to stick with it no matter what turned out…

Darrell turned me onto this. Already 2M views on YouTube. The future is here
