Science vs. Faith: the flowcharts


This is not meant to be insulting by the way, merely thought provoking. I do not mean to offend anyone or any group with this.

Two new macros


One of the trees in the front yard has some interesting buds that I wanted to capture before they came into bloom. It was a bit windy so I had to take the pictures in between the gusts.
I used the macro feature on the Lumix to get mere centimeters from the buds, as I am telling you, what you see in these pictures is in real life real itty bitty and you can only get this "close" to them using a good macro lens.

"The Landlord"




This video is absolutely HILARIOUS! There is some language used in it so be forewarned.
Also, Wired.com has a great story on the making of the video HERE.

*UPDATE* I had to make a few changes to reflect some linking issues, so click here for a direct link to the video.

A new critter in the yard



I discovered this moth in the bushes in the front yard this morning. It is quite the stunner as far as colors go. However, as far as camouflage goes, it isn't well hidden amongst the leaves of the bush that it is in. Any bird could have spotted it and made a quick meal of it.
I don't know what happened to it after I took these pictures.

Bluegrass Radio on iTunes


I am not ashamed to say that I really enjoy Bluegrass music and that as of late I have been listening via iTunes Radio to Bluegrass Radio - 100 Percent Pure Acoustic Bluegrass, which can be found on iTunes via Library - Radio - Country - Bluegrass Radio (see above image). I like this particular stream because it has more of an eclectic mix of traditional and modern styles.

For those of you who would like to check out Bluegrass Music without having to install iTunes, you can check out Bluegrassradio.org and listen to their stream via the links on the left side of the page.

The Mac Pro: Now with 8 core goodness!







Oh baby! Now that is what I am talking about!


And let's not forget that Macs can now run Windows. So, the old
"I don't like Macs because they won't run my
(insert Windows application here) programs!!!
"
excuses don't cut it any more.
See here and here for more information.
