Gord over at Gord’s Garage has been busy with home-based anodizing. It’s some amazing stuff he is doing. I sent him one of the rubber band gun assemblies, and he did an amazing job on it. In an incredible amount of detail, Gord has written up and photographed the whole process: http://gordsgarage.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/the-full-monty-part-1/ http://gordsgarage.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/the-full-monty-part-2/ In summary, [...]

I was driving up our raised driveway and Ezra exclaimed “There is a DEER!”. We’ve been seeing quite a few deer (both buck and doe) around the creek recently. Take a close look at the first photo and see if you can spot him? Then take a look at the exact same photo in color. Amazing.

I was impressed by the shutter speed on my Droid X to capture the rotors with such clarity. On the flip side, here is an untouched photograph of Ezra that I took just by rotating the Droid X as the picture was taken. This was in the evening, less light on the ground. Apparently [...]
