Geeking out a bit today, tried out a some software for making HDR photo’s. I need to go back and learn how to do manual bracketing on my camera to to maximize the effect. Still kind of Cool, giving a lot of depth. Makes me wonder about some comment I read a year a so ago about the future being HDR photos off of HD video feeds rather then DSLR’s.

This was from when I was messing around up at Squaw valley and was perpetually scared of breaking my camera.

Image pulled. Looks like Zooomr is broken *again*. I might finally have to give up and move anything I’m not hosting over to flickr instead. I really like zooomr but it’s been nothing but problems for months and months. Its a one man army fighting the good fight there but there is a limit to what a user can take.

backup but for how long

Well, we are a long crazy way from being done but we have had our bid accepted and are now in a ticking time bomb of an escrow on our new place in Scott’s Valley.

I had run across this place last year, really liked it, got Charise all jazzed up about it, we put a in a low ball offer… the other agent jerked us around then they took a different contingent offer. We where pretty bummed. But I kept my little real-estate widget running and noticed immediately when it was listed again. It’s been a pain in the ass of negotiation, but I think there is a very serious long term upside potential to the new place so hopefully it will be worth it. It’s big(ish) almost 2300sqf on a court with a view. The lot is interesting not all of it is very usable (but not backed up to a mountain either) but there are a like of pretty tree’s and it’s a nice quit pocket where you can’t really hear 17.

Now we just have to sell our place in this messed up market… but we have a pretty cute place and it’s a dam fine location so hopefully we will do well enough.

I’m trying hard not to think about some of the little down sides like increased commute time :p.

Course it could all still explode if any of the inspection reports are totally out of whack.

Next up: some snaps from Kaily’s first Ski trip that involved ski’s and a sled
