Got this note on my dry cleaning receipt…

Yes, I do have cats, one of the decided to sleep on my suit before I was to get it cleaned. And I thought that’s what they did for a living

Heard the article about the mysteriously plagiarized works of pianist Joyce Hatto on one of my podcasts (On The Media). I recognized the story from an earlier online entry (Slashdot). Thought I’d link to the story here, because it’s kind of interesting.

I left the garage door open yesterday for a few minutes while I was putting our recycling in the car (we do not have curb recycling – No curb!). This guy showed up (I reckon, around 6′-7′ long). Click here for the gallery.

HDR photography

Post author By Dave
Post date September 21, 2007

Last year in November, Cassie and I visited Bandelier National Monument (funny story, the native Americans were called Anasazi for many years, turns out this was a derogatory term used by other tribes, dirt people, they now refer to themselves as the Pueblo Indians) while we went to Santa Fe, NM. There I encountered a couple of guys with tripods, Canon SLR digital cameras, and the odd habit of taking three identical photos at a time. I asked them if they were using AEB or Automatic Exposure Bracketing on the Canon, and they said why yes. They introduced me to the fun of High Dynamic Range photography. In this technique, three (or more) different exposures (as far apart as possible, like -2, 0, +2) are used to take the same photo. Then in software (I use Photomatix Pro) the photos are combined to produce some fairly startling effects. The interesting thing is that HDR photography can capture situations where the light and dark areas could not normally be captured in a scene at the same time.

Enough talk, here’s some examples of my attempts:
