Photobloggin'

I managed to hit the photo store before heading into work today. Let me start by saying that there was depressingly small selection of filters. I managed to pick up a circular polarizer, but graduated neutral density filters were nowhere to be found. Anyway, here's another landscape shot.

A little bit of sanity

It looks like some Democrats "get" it, but it looks as though they don't have any pull. Some centrist Democrats say attacks by their party leaders on the Bush administration's eavesdropping on suspected terrorist conversations will further weaken the party's credibility on national security. That concern arises from recent moves by liberal Democrats to block […]

Photobloggin'

I was going to avoid the malls and instead go see what I could get at the former North County Camera (now Calumet) store in Escondido for my Olympus E-500. Tops on the list was a polarization filter and possibly a neutral density gradiant filter. Unfortunately, the store was closed -- perhaps the only store […]

This time it's personal

San Diego State University and CSU Long Beach are being sued -- and they're gonna lose.

On timing

I just got finished watching this week's "Fox News Watch" and loony liberal Neil Gabler and American University prof Jane Hall both saw nefarious pro-conservative intent in the New York Times' decision to hold the story of President Bush's surveillance of al Qaeda operatives/affiliates inside the U.S. during the 2004 election. They may very well […]

Only the New York Times

This is like shooting fish in a barrel. Only the New York Times editorial page can write a Christmas editorial, keep "Christmas" out of the headline and not mention Jesus once.

Duh

The reporting in the Wall Street Journal is usually really good. However, this [subscription required] has got to be the most stupid statement I've seen in any report on the new Xbox 360 and its effects on the videogame industry. The new Xbox 360 has been a big hit for Microsoft Corp. this season -- […]

No bias here

Editor & Publisher magazine -- the magazine of the newspaper industry -- doesn't even try to hide the bias of its editor Greg Mitchell. Headline: 'Impeachment' Talk, Pro and Con, Appears in Media at Last I've got no idea why impeachment is in quotes. Bad bias. Bad grammar.
