z3100.

Along with the last “proud” announcement, I am proud to announce my new photo printer, the HP Designjet Z3100 24″ wide-format inkjet printer. The Z3100 is a ground-breaking, highly regarded printer that uses HP’s Vivera pigment inks. It’s true that only serious techno-print-geeks will appreciate the sophistication and performance of a printer of this [...]

operation food.

As I write this, I am sitting on my front stoop, spying on my dog via a network surveillance-type camera I installed this afternoon (the Axis 207W if interested). Spying on my dog, yes indeed. You see, he’s talked himself into a brazen nonchalance about stealing food when and where he sees fit.

pano heaven.

manifesto.

This won’t interest many of you, but I’m posting it anyway because it’s amazing. Ryan Leech has released his latest trials riding video, Manifesto. His goal was to take trials riding style further: “eliminate all setup and recovery hops from trials riding.” Setup and recovery hops are those couple of in-place hops you see riders [...]

cruiser mania.

This Memorial Day weekend, Jess and I treated ourselves to a couple of pimp cruiser bikes. I got an Electra Boney Finger with fat 3.0″ slick tires, lots of orange, and hotrod-esque styling. Jess got a Trek Wasabi with retro styling, fancy fenders, and a cool embroidered leather seat. Both are 3-speeds with nifty internally [...]

phone art.

Patrice Elmi hasn’t touched her bulky 35 mm camera since last fall. The emerging visual artist from Los Angeles has discovered that all she needs is the diminutive gizmo she clips to her jeans and flips open to chat with friends.”When people see my images, they don’t believe that I took them with a cell [...]
