As BR said, I went back to work today. I had classes for the past six months, now I get to try to remember the database structure for our data collection system. :) I had a blast going through the 200 e-mails in my inbox, some of which were 5-6 months old. My first day back to work was made even bet...

Mustang Show

I went to a Mustang show yesterday. I was too busy drooling over the older cars, so I don't have many pictures of new Mustangs. :P

We go almost every year, but we didn't go this time around. I'm glad I wasn't at Saturday's show. I don't think I would want to watch that in person. The Thunderbirds fly at the Dayton air show almost every year. Last year was the only show where I remember them not being there. Instead, we got to s...

Photography and Cars

What do you guys think about having visible license plate numbers in photos? I ask because I want to respect the owners of the vehicles, but it also seems to ruin a photograph by blurring the plate when the vehicle is the center of attention.

Opinions?

More Autocross Pictures

Here's a batch that I took from Sunday. I dug up an old version of GBuilder (a gallery builder that I work on whenever I get a chance) so I wouldn't have such a huge post. ;) I also created a gallery from the previous batch. Old pictures - June 24th New pictures - July 15th I tried some speed shots,...

Thanks. Unfortunately there's a limitation from where I can take pictures and the only decent straight-away on the course was on the opposite side of the track from where the spectators were allowed. Porsche, I'm using the same camera as BR, the Rebel XT. I'm going back up tomorrow for some more pic...

Thanks, guys. I also spoke with a few friends of mine that are knowledgable in hardware and their recommendations are very similar to yours and the ones on AnandTech.

Hopefully I'll be ordering the parts in a week or two.

Thanks a lot,

Autocross Pictures...Beware! LOTS of pictures!

A collection of pictures that I took a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I screwed up and not many from the batch that I took were very sharp. http://www.microsmithinc.com/DiamondKatana/AutocrossJune/autocross000.jpg http://www.microsmithinc.com/DiamondKatana/AutocrossJune/autocross001.jpg http://www.mi...

Time for a new computer

Hello. How have all of you been? I know I don't pop in here much, and I apologize, but I've been quite busy with life. I've been out of the hardware loop for years and I need help building a new computer. I will need pretty much everything except a case, since I can scrap my old one. My budget is ar...
