I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been exhausted the past few days. I went to bed last night at 10 and I still woke up at 5:30 for no good reason even though my alarm wasn’t set to go off until 8:00. I’m getting tattooed tomorrow night and I’m not really feeling it. [...]

Had a good day of diving. I forgot how cold and bulky temperate water diving is. I’ve also lost my fondness of most shore diving. The week and a half diving from boats in Grand Cayman has spoiled me a wee bit. I guess that means I’m just going to have to get Corinne to [...]

Tomorrow will be our first day diving since our trip to Grand Cayman earlier in the year. While it won’t be anywhere as beautiful (chilly green Boston waters vs the clear and blue tropical waters of the Caribbean), it’s still good diving and we’re excited. I picked up tanks on Thursday and I just gave [...]

Driving into work this morning was super easy. Seemed like nobody was on the road – probably taking advantage of the long weekend. I have work to do this afternoon, but it’ll be super easy and pretty straight forward. Already looking forward to leaving!

I got some time to process and post some images from Seaworld last weekend. I’m typically not a fan of “composites”, but they’re probably the best way to capture the “action series” when I was shooting in burst mode. As for the technical, all shot with my 70-200 @ f2.8. Most of the day was [...]

LA was great. Lily was great. SeaWorld… you guessed it – great. The flight to LA was nice and easy, and the flight back (despite crying babies, toddlers kicking my seat and a fat kid next to me snoring over my iPod) wasn’t too bad. It just sucks when you lose the 3 hours to [...]

I’m switching web hosts. This is the “new server”.If you’re seeing this, then you’re all set.

Mondays are some good TV on sci-fi. You get a few hours of ST:TNG and then some anime. I’m liking it… a lot. This weekend I signed up with a new webhost – Tektonic. It’s a VPS, so there’s a lot more for me to manage on my own, but it’s a lot more fun [...]

Swung by the comic shop on my way home and picked up the latest Cthulhu Tales. I really like a lot of the stuff coming out of Boom Studios these days. It’s a nice change of pace from the typical super hero comics. I don’t really think I have any other news. I’m just glad [...]

I’m in the home stretch of my on call duties. Tomorrow AM at 10:30 the phones switch over to someone else. I plan on sleeping in and hope that I don’t get any early morning calls. Last night a bunch of stupid stuff broke (I think someone made some real stupid mistakes and broke it) [...]
