Molex, You Suck
When I was reassembling the drive cages in Beavertail, it was definitely plain that one set was more damaged than the adjacent set. The only two obvious flaws were heat, and grounding. I had been monitoring the heat off and on, and the drives never even got higher than 90F, and they are laptop drives,…

Little Amonita
We went on a great hike, and we saw a lot of mushrooms. This was the prize of the bunch. Pentax K10D, 50mm, 1/8″ iso 100. Three layers in gimp: base, color enahanced, gray value.

ZFS on Linux machine
Here is my ZFS on Linux story, and some of you might have seen these pictures when I started this project last year: I recycled an old Athlon system from work and placed an 35 Watt AMD A2 processor with 8GB 1600 ram on an Asus mobo in it. I name my home systems after…

Beach Driftwood, Fisherman’s Spit, Lopez Island, WA
This was clearly a case of pre-visualization. Guilty as charged. K10D, 50mm, circular-polarizer, 100iso, 1/200. Gimp: 1 color layer and two contrast layers, not counting borders.

Great Blue Heron, Fisherman’s Wharf, Lopez Isl
I saw six in this area that morning. I would plan on bringing a tripod and a 300mm lens next time. For this one I used a 135mm with a K10D, circular polarizer, ~400iso, 1/200. Post in Gimp.

Watmough Bay Panorama
This is not a super duper pano, this is full of bracketed shots. The difference (ghosting) of the branches is a combination of me shifting footing and wind. (Hugin with HDR and Gimp to bring out color.) This one is probably too wide for a triple monitor setup, but it might work.

Rock and Cliff at Watmough Bay, Lopez Isl, WA
I spent a lot of time taking bracketed exposures on Lopez Island. Here an HDR result from Watmough Bay.
