Kindle 2 Quick Take
I seem to meet two kinds of people. Those who think the Kindle is a stupid idea, and those who love it. The weird thing about that is that some of the people who really don’t like it are people I respect and usually agree with. But in my case, while it was far from love at first site, I think it’s a cool device with a great deal of potential. The Kindle 2 has been re-designed and has a...

Just ordered my first book on the new Kindle - Presentation Zen. I’ll write a quick review this weekend. So far, very impressed.
I left specific instructions w/ Nikon to ship to my office. They put the wrong address on the box. Luckily I live in a safe gated community.
Nikon repaired my 14-24 f/2.8 under warranty and promptly shipped it to my home instead of office where it sat on the porch all day! #photog
I’m going to be on the This Week In Photography podcast next week. We’re recording tomorrow at 10AM PST. Just a warning :) #photog
