This has been making the rounds on a few websites, but Boston.com has a bunch of fantastic and amazing photos of the Sun. Check it out!

Just how big is the lens I rented today?

♫ “I can see for miles and miles…” ♫

Now I can finally do that paparazzi gig that Wired magazine was talking about…

It’s the beginning of the annual Fleet Week festivities here in San Francisco. That means all sorts of noise as aircraft of all types scream through our fair city over the next few days. Among the things I’m most excited for is the Blue Angels. They did a practice show today (and yesterday) and I went down to the bay to take photos.

To facilitate some good photographic opportunities, I rented a Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 lens and a 2X tele-converter.

To see all the photos I’ve taken for the 2008 Fleet Week, check out this link.

John Stewart and the gang strike again!

Another awesome thing about Twitter:

Fake Sarah Palin and Fake John McCain have accounts. Hilarious!

Interesting!

I might consider voting for him! 😉

One of my favorite Mexican places in San Francisco is Papalote. I absolutely love their burritos and their salsa is just killer. That leads me to ask: Papalote – Great burritos or greatest burritos ever?

Interestingly enough, I know I rag on SF Mexican food a lot and say it doesn’t compare to So Cal, but really who am I kidding? The only things better in So Cal are the baseball teams and beaches! 😉

We live on the 17th story of an apartment building near downtown San Francisco. A quick scan of the available wifi networks shows an overwhelming number of them. It’s good to see most of them are secured.

If we load up network analysis tools like iStumbler or KisMac, we can see nearly 45 different networks!

Below, you will find a list of every single band and concert I’ve ever seen up to this point. Some people keep ticket stubs. I just keep anal-retentive lists.

Below are a few photos I’ve taken from some random shows:
