I attended BlizzCon '09 Fri & Sat, Aug 21-22 and took lots of photographs.  I never though I'd fill up two 16GB and two 8GB SDHC cards, but the video I shot took up a lot of space.It's really tricky to take decent photographs without a flash in such a dark convention environment.  Trickier still when having to take it at low shutter speeds.  I tried to use ISO 400 when I could, but often I had to resort to ISO 800, so please forgive any graininess.  Camera used: Canon Powershot A590 IS.Check out this guy's BlizzCon pictures thread.  He has a different set of pics than me, although in a few cases we got pictures of the same people.  You'll ...

I got my UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) hooked up between my computers, Internet router, and the wall!  So now I can do electrical maintenance and clear tangled cords without taking down the computerized PBX I'm running.I purchased a Canon PowerShot A590 IS (Image Stabilization) digital camera for Christmas, and I've been having fun with it.  It's quite adjustable, and takes nice photos.  I use manual mode a lot.One of these days, I'll get my apartment cleared up.  Then I can post before and after photos and video.  I'll be famous!  I can see the headlines now; "World's messiest apartment"

Something new!  http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44180334/  No, wait, I never post new stuff - you must be imagining it.  ;)With regards to the mood icon (Winter Downs), I actually rather like it.  I like snow.  I guess you could say I have the winter downs because it /isn't/ snowing here in Pasadena, but in actuality it's just a preference; I feel fine.Listening to: I Feel Fantastic, by Jonathan Coulton.  You can hear it for free.  You can even download it.  Hmm, that reminds me, I owe the artist a dollar or three.  Anyway, it's a rather lively and amusing song.  http://www.jonathancoulton.com/lyrics/i-feel-fantastic
