Banner weekend. Was off the web for about 24 hours while celebrating 5-year anniversary. Saw a great Broadway play. Good times at a bar afterward, where the idea for Rebecca Romijn came to me.
Got back to the CPU Saturday just in time to see the perfect game.
Great NBA games Sunday.
Refreshed and pumped for the draft.

Mad Men was fantastic last night intertwining the 3 storylines at the end when Cooper tells Draper to get his shit together and get back to work. Also had a great “movie” feel to the episode. How epic was it that Sterling takes LSD and says he is feeling nothing yet when he opens a bottle of vodka he hears Russian music? Top 3 episodes ever.

That Eddie Van Halen article was entertaining but despite the author telling me he wouldnt be fanboy, the article was fanboy.
No hard questions re: his dick treatment of Michael Anthony. He didn’t hit him on some inconsistinceies on his drug use on recent tour, and he also recycled some EVH stories that have been around 30 years.
That said, a few glimpses into EVH the technician and inventor are always gems.

Sean Penn is accomplished in his industry and just spent the bulk of the last two years helping in Haiti. Yeah he has outspoken politics that doesnt’ endear him to many but he is accomplished and active. So you’re saying it’d be better if he was a no-talent mimbo? Don’t be such a hater.

To me, they still are talented. Hosmer and Gordon are two building blocks they can work with. I like Francoeur, despite his ups and downs. Once they “get it”, they’ll be fine.
Relax & play the game they’ve played since they were kids. Hit strikes. Catch the ball. Throw to the right base. Pitchers, work fast and throw strikes.

the best is when you are in an office that gets a lot of faxes, if you don’t get to the machine in time, someone will just take your fax and deposit it somewhere around the machine, likely face down and in a pile of other faxes that have been dis-guarded by the masses.

Had seen it on DVD years ago. It’s still one of the best sci-fi films ever made. What’s surprising to me is how lean it is. There’s almost no minute of that movie that is filler.

start with redistricting laws that mandate all districts should be competitive at least every 4 years and this will take care of the “career” politician and put in term limits of 5 consecutive terms in any district in 1 state, after those 5 terms you can’t run again in any state district for 2 complete terms.
I like your ideas, but feel they’re too complicated to sell to the American public. I’m big on term limits too and present an alternative idea:
I would be fine with putting a 12-year limit on every elected office. If terms are 2 years, then you can get 6 terms at most. Six year terms equals 2 terms. And so on.
However, changing the U.S. Presidential term limits would probably be a bitch, so maybe limit chief executive offices to 2 4-year terms (President, Governor, Mayor). All other spots get the 12 year rule.
April 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 AM

howabout instead of term limits, we can publicly execute public officials that do a disservice to their country? that’d get shit straightened out quickfast.

It’s amazing that the first three Aliens movies have three of the greatest directors doing each film, Scott, Cameron and David Fincher.

Last year the swallows tried this under my front porch for two days. It took them that long to realize the flood of water coming from the human below was a message for them to leave.

I’d rather change the cycles so House and Senate are both four year terms. Six years is entirely too long to be in that powerful a position, and the two-year House terms means never, ever being able to vote your conscious because that next fundraiser/primary is always right around the corner.
Also, the filibuster? Put that shit in a room with Joffery. Horrible, horrible practice that should be amended or destroyed altogether.

I had swallows try and build under my deck one summer. Every time my kids or I would walk under the deck those nasty mean mothers would fly right at us and keep darting around us until we walked away. One morning I removed the nest they were trying to build under it then boarded up the little enclave. They came back and raised holy hell trying to figure out how to remove the board I nailed in place.

People who have actually taken the time to read both publications (as I have) can easily discern that both are left-leaning, the New Yorker much more so than Texas Monthly. On what planet do you exist where that’s not true?

April 23rd, 2012 at 10:56 AM
to expand, i personally like Nikon. the D300s fits well in my larger hands and i’ve been satisfied owning it for the past two years.
The camera has more “manual” settings than the models below it and after taking a few classes about what does what on a camera and how to apply it to shooting i’ve really grown into the camera.
I like to recommend this website for any new photographer who gets caught up in gear lust http://www.kenrockwell.com
no matter what camera you get, be it Nikon or Canon, pick up a 50mm f/1.8 lens. It’s a fixed zoom lens, about $100, that does great in low light, is very fast, cheap and light. good for impromtu indoor shots and learning how to shoot with perspectives, angles, distance, etc.
April 23rd, 2012 at 10:58 AM
I’ll probably use it a ton as the kid grows up. I’d like to be able to capture a lot of the little moments and also not spend a mint on portrait studios.
I’d like to keep it under $600 for the camera and a solid walk-around lens (18-55 or 18-70).
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:07 AM
This is the same thing the dude who taught the class I went to told me. I think I’m going to order one soon, actually. He said don’t get caught up in the zoom lens craze as you’ll rarely use it.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Thanks a ton, kaiser. That link is tremendously helpful.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:24 AM
there’s a big difference in your photos if you start with a zoom lens w/o knowing how to use it versus learning how to shoot then using a zoom lens.
don’t be afraid to look for a cheaper used camera that might be a generation old, or take advantage of cameras about to be phased out. The d300s by Nikon will be replaced soon but it’s an amazing camera.
The d90 was just replaced but still a great camera and can give you some great value if you want something in between entry level and top of the line DX sensors.
glad it can help. it still puts me into perspective whenever i think i need to upgrade or buy something new.
also check out http://www.bythom.com every now and then if you are into the more technical aspects. I check his site out every now and then, he’s an engineer by trade so he can be very nuts and bolts on many photography topics, from cameras, to images to why cameras have what features they have.
