Beach Photo Shoot

Posted by rdub in photo, oh holy shit

Athena and I headed out to Santa Cruz yesterday to do a kick ass beach photo shoot.

She wore her bikini and a clean, white sun dress, and we went and played in the waves with my cameras. Did I mention I’m a lucky guy?? There’s some really good ones in this set.

Enjoy.

New PA System

Posted by rdub in Music, oh holy shit

Yesterday was a rough day. I had a huge bug coming down from “on-high” if you know what I mean, and everything in my normal day-to-day software project broke all at once.

Hectic is putting it lightly.

But, I got it done. And quick, once I had the right tools.

So, to reward myself, on a whim, I went out and bought a PA system.

I ended up buying a pair of JBL JRX115’s, a Crown XLS 402, and the required SpeakOn cabling.

It just got a whole lot louder around my apartment (complex).

I is a happy boy.

Insurance for the win

Posted by rdub in oh holy shit

If you are an avid reader of this blog (and god help you if you are), you probably remember my old 12″ power book went down for the count recently.

Well, I happen to have a personal computer endorsement on my renters insurance, and sure enough, they are paying for the replacement of the hard drive!

Rock on USAA!

A Few Good Emails

Posted by rdub in oh holy shit

Waking up this morning at 6:45 to hit the gym, I couldn’t help but think today would be painful. And the gym definitely was - all the climbing holds were stone cold (and thus very hard and unforgiving), and I was tired and sore.

Working out didn’t go terribly well nor terribly poorly, and I was off thinking today was going to be downright unremarkable.

Then I got home. Checked my email: 2 unread messages.

The first, a terse yet friendly response from Bruce Schneier, the godfather of cryptography himself, to an email I sent him yesterday.

The second, a more friendly, less terse note from the producer of Coverville.com, the most well-respected blog/podcast about cover songs on these here ‘tubes, about our Caffe Trieste show!

Yea, today is making a u-turn and getting in the fast lane of kick-ass highway.
