We trundled back down to the southern end of Assateague today to take more pictures at the wildlife refuge. Yesterday, I had been frustrated by all of my images appearing fuzzy on the LCD display on the 40D. I had been shooting RAW only, which has a JPEG thumbnail embedded for preview purposes. However, it [...]
Today we ventured out to the Virginia part of Assateague. We haven’t been down that way in some time, and it was a lot of fun. I ended up being a lot less frustrated — though I was pretty frustrated when I was shooting. For some reason, the previews on the 40D LCD are [...]
We ventured out in the cold today to Assateague to take some pictures. It turned out to be a pretty crappy day for pictures, but, a good day for bird watching. We were able to see a Northern Harrier, a whole wad of Cedar Waxwings, a juvenile Bald Eagle and various and sundry gulls [...]
Went to Assateague today. Although none of the ponies were on greeting duty today, one was being quite sociable. This one ambled over to our car as soon as we parked in one of the lots, and had to see if there was anything in the car suitable for lunch. No doubt [...]
I heard on this morning’s news that, at least in Baltimore County, homes and businesses are going to be required to display the street number on the back of the building. The idea is to make it easier for emergency crews to find an address from the alleyway. I think this is a fantastic idea.

This idea is, by no means, a new thing. This video just shows how to put it together very succinctly. Theoretically, [...]
I’m playing with the trial version of Office2007. Yeah, I know. I’m Mr. OpenOffice.org, aren’t I.
Well, I heard tell that Micro$oft might have finally gotten Office right. If nothing else, they’ve certainly improved things. One nifty feature is that you can write blog entries from within M$Word. You can see a screen grab made while [...]
It was a busy day in the backyard today. We were graced by visits from a Tufted Titmouse, Downy Woodpecker, Mourning Doves, Cardinals, Carolina Wren, Blue Jays, Dark-Eyed Junco, House Sparrows (anyone know how to keep them away?), House Finches, Mockingbird, and our Cooper’s Hawk.
The hawk flew in right on top [...]
By now, I sure that many of you have heard or read that Howard County will be discontinuing their GTV cable television operation, effective June 30 of this year.
The staff at the station found out last Thursday in a meeting that was called by the county Director of Communications. We sorta knew something was [...]
