I have been snapping pictures left and right with my new D80. I got some cool shorts of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco over the weekend and threw them up on the gallery. It’s my opinion, but I think this has to be the most beautiful place in San Francisco.

For those of you who don’t fallow hockey the Sharks were knocked out of the playoffs on Monday with there game six loss to the Detroit Red Wings. During the Sharks push for the Stanley Cup I did my bes to support my team. I watched the games, I wore my hat, and I grew my playoff beard. Unfortunately, it was to no avail this season but we can hope for next season right. So what good can come out of all this? Well the young Sharks team has gained some valuable experience and hopefully can learn from it. They should also have some real motivation to win next season after three seasons of getting so close. Another good thing that can be brought out of this is that FSN found it in there hearts to give my playoff beard some acknowledgment. I’m on the site and everything… pretty sweet! However, the Sharks did lose and as a result I cleaned up the beard. Below are the before and after pictures. The playoff beard will return… it will just have to wait a year.

I have been a San Jose Sharks fan since I could remember. Being that the Sharks are the only NHL team in northern California and that I happened to end up in college in San Jose I again am in a position to support my sharks. And to add to it I have had the privilege to even work at the Shark Tank putting me just about as close to the Sharks as one could want. Well how about playoff apperances ever year since the strike and quite possibly the best season the Sharks have played ever. Well today is game six in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks are down 3-2 in the series after some disappointing losses. Its important to remember that too! The Sharks lost those games. The Red Wings have yet to really dominate a game. The game will be on at 6pm on FSN… So lets all root the Sharks to an important 2 wins to stay alive with a collective

Lets Go Sharks!!!

::update:: Unfortunately the Sharks have been bumped out of the second round of playoffs in game six for the third year in a row. A beyond disappointing 2-0 loss brought the series and Sharks season to an end. All that is left now for Sharks fans is just the hope that next year the Sharks will learn from three years of expierence and win a cup for San Jose.

I don’t really need to say much on the topic of the holocaust. I just felt that a quick look at our past is never enough. This should never be forgotten. There are more photos in the gallery

Yup… to the average viewer just a string of code but to the trained eye a line of hex numbers and with a bit of back ground information on there use they are way more then just numbers. Those simple numbers represent an exploit in the HD DVD DRM (digital rights management, and wow that was a lot of abbreviation’s) thus provide a way to illegally copy HD DVD’s (but only if your using linux). Not that big of a deal when you think about it given the fact that most DRM’s have been cracked in some way and if they aren’t already they will be eventually. What makes this really good is when it get political. (more…)

I just took some shots of my newest DSGD 105 (intermediate graphic design) project and put them in the gallery. I will be putting up more of my portfolio for you all to see so be sure to check back (and yes I know I have promised this before but! plogger has made this much easier). So… check it out and let me know what you think…
