one of the houses in our neighbourhood always does up a great display at halloween, complete with smoke machines and animatronic undead.
I shudder every time I go in this place, but my wallet seems to win over my conscience. I almost got a photo for the People of Wal★ Mart blog, too.
I think I want a Whomping Willow in my front yard…

I’ve been tweaking the CSS on my blog, as well as the photoblog. I’m getting really quite happy with how they’re set up. Of course, I’ve said that about a dozen times before, followed shortly by some radical change to the theme because I got bored…
Currently, it’s Helvetica all the way, with clean and simple traditional blog layout here, and similar concepts behind the photoblog as well. I’ve decided to fork the themes I’m using, so I can hack them a bit more than I can if I’m worried about integrating updates from the original theme developers. Don’t know how far I’ll take it, but I may play if I get time. Yeah. Right…
I was asked to share how I got that Bike Blur photo yesterday. It’s really simple, once you know a couple of tricks.
the metal facade of the ICT building always reminds me of the Monolith from 2001. I wonder if it makes people smarter…
the road blurs past me on the ride home today – only the bike in sharp focus – everything else dampened, lost in thought.
I’d wanted to try a shot like this since getting the 10-20mm lens. I wrapped the camera strap tightly around my left hand, and pumped of a whole bunch of shots while leaning down as I rode. I was going about 25km/h when I shot this.
turbulent clouds above the Rockies, sending strong winds through the city today – my son woke up to the cold front at 2am, and the winds kept up pretty solidly all day.
