Coach Dave
Heartfelt thanks to Coach Dave, who did a heck of a job with a rather motley crew.
The Blue… Uh… Typhoons. or Blueberries. Or Something.
Team photo. Let me know if you want a full-sized file.
Ow
K, in blue, gets on the ball and prevents it from going out. K turns it, and considers passing to L, but then the green player moves in, and L rushes to assist.
It does not end well for any of them.
Deranged Eight-Year-Old
This is when she’s in a good mood.
The idea here is extremely shallow depth-of-field. Like in ancient portraits like this.
Late Autumn Football
Sometimes the light, and the past-prime leaves, arrange themselves so that all you need to do is push the button.
REAL Football
This is some serious football.
It’s also an attempt to frame a subject, and provide depth, by making the out-of-focus players in the background look at the subject, which is the only thing in focus.
Football is Good, But Ice Cream is Better
54,000 screaming football fans are all very well… But this was some mighty fine ice cream.
HOWTO: Get Rhapsody to Work on Ubuntu Linux
I subscribe to Rhapsody, the music service. I have no Windows machines any more (except for my work laptop), but that’s OK: Rhapsody has a web client, that (barely) works on Macs. Recently, I decided to
try to make it work on my Ubuntu machine.
I use Ubuntu at work, for non-work things. Since I telecommute, I have no local IT support, to fix computer diseases, and so I need to protect my Windows laptop at all costs: no browsing anything that I (or my company) didn’t write.
So I have a separate machine, running Ubuntu Linux, for Web browsing, music playing, video watching, etc., as well as a backup server.
Everything works great, except that the Rhapsody plugin for Firefox wouldn’t function.
It was a bit of a slog to make it work, which I lay out here, in hopes that others will find it useful.
I Like the Dark
I generally don’t like flash photography, even with a diffuser. I think that photos should convey what it was like to be in the place that you’re shooting, and flash photos don’t do that for me.
I’ve been experimenting with long-exposure pictures at parties, and camping. It requires that you yell at people to hold still, which isn’t always successful.
