That is my hand.

That's also my porch.

GG SCOTUS

Chuck: good to see Pens and Guns are on the same level

me: They are mightier than the sword.

Chuck: yeah, my cousin died from a grammatical error

Addendum: Loath as I am to say it, I partially agree with Scalia.

The 10:40

Seriously, HAM radio is worthless. It's not a viable method of communication. Sorry. For fuck's sake, you have a cell phone, and the internet, and land lines. Is it some kind of nostalgic thing? Do you get some thrill from perpetuating the existence of the most anachronistic technologies this side of the steam engine? Maybe it's the communication aspect. I, too, wish to talk to complete social deviants who just pine for company, and find it by talking into a box, but I just go to a bar. But thanks for posting your HAM call sign on the back of your car with stick-on mailbox letters. I'll give you a ring with my portable HAM.

Redefining warning.

Caption: An officer warns a resident to back off at a checkpoint in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I would love to see the statute that says "you can't cross this with invisible line, and we are completely licensed to point a gun at your head to get the point across". Seriously. A warning.
I'm warned, and alarmed.

Edit: I like the hand on the hood. It's a nice touch. I guess the gun pointed at the head is, you know, a backup, a last resort, in case he can't physically stop the car using his SHEER MUSCLE POWER. Also, Ving Rhames in the background is a terrific addition. Why have the gun when you have Ving Rhames?

Meddling with HDR

Pretty crappy examples, but I haven't had the opportunity to take new pictures yet.

Things look cooler with high speed cameras.

Valencia Pictures

Bizarre Valencian architecture.

That there is some kinda view.

Bird on head.

Apparently it means "for rent". I maintain it's an oddly flavored Mexican liquor.

Little girl was adorable.

The frame thingy looks pretty surreal.

Showing Jon how to do color swap and color accent on the camera was a bad idea.
