i only write checks for bills that have to be mailed. everything else goes on the debit card, but i still write my debits into the register in my checkbook. I'm gonna d/l a copy of quicken just to check it out; never thought about that one till you said it

that was impressive

Here's my biggest tip on credit card use: put your credit card(s) in a checkbook. Treat it just like a checking acct and write down every purchase in the register. I Currently have a 3300 credit balance on my Visa, but it is on a 12month zero interest acct. I make $400 monthly payments and this...

the standard Canon IS lenses, while you can pan and shoot with them, aren't designed for it. It won't hurt the shot if you are constantly panning (as in, the subject is moving in a straight line), but when you are panning at different rates (like tracking a horse going thru the barrel pattern)...

hmm, go figure. Now that I have a digital camera, I come across a film scanner. A Sony UY-S90 Film scanner; scans a 6Mp frame in 9 seconds. Now i need to dig up a SCSI card from somewhere and find some drivers for this thing. EDIT: better yet, maybe I should try to sell it; i hear these things...

its a collector. I'd love a GNX. there were only like 500 or so made iirc

blows per minute is NOT rpms. on half the impact wrenches out there you can grab the socket and keep it from turning while going full blast. as i understand it, horsepower is a function of sustained torque times rpms. impact wrench doesn't sustain torque; you might as well ask about the...

i missed such a good shot a couple weekends ago; a woman was running barrels and hit one, but while her horse was circling the barrel she leaned out and grabbed it and tipped it back up, all while her horse was running around it. anyways, this past weekend: \/ I've added a new flash to...

take your rad to a radiator shop and tell them to clean it out. should run ya about 40-50 bux. Also, use a Toyota thermostat, not an autozone or adv auto therm. Get a friend, start the car. when it warms up enough for the thermostat to open, have him hold it at 3k rpms while you look under the...

on three separate occasions you had two tires chunk at the same time? I've never even heard of two tires chunking at the same time before...

tekken sucks. Soul Calibur is where it's at.

some clouds at the shows, but not overcast. For all the running events I shoot 1/250th or greater on the subject of helmets, what is worse: riding a horse without a helmet, or sitting in the arena taking pictures like this dumbass. I almost ran that fucker over a couple months ago, i should...

this is how you decorate a house (ignore the old wallpaper) now that I finally taped these two enlargements, i get to pull down their 4x6 duplicates and tape something else up :) I'll cover the whole place eventually. EDIT:hmm, all of those are from film btw. That 20x30 blew up very nicely...

used the photomatix tone mapper plugin in photoshop. turning light smoothing down is the biggest part of that effect

got bored for a bit tonight, decided to fiddle with a couple shots while my computer was doing other shit. a friend and the horse that I learned to ride on. ^before..........and after \/ another of the horse I learned to ride on. well, its bedtime. the computer is gonna be tied up...

good job! *cue the whistles and marching bands and kazoos* for those talking about damaging the ear, I was told that it is *extremely* painful if you tear your eardrum, but i don't know that for myself (im only in first semester of nursing school)

yeah well just wait till i get my car runnin and throw in that turbo *cough* i meant my new 2>1 triple-charged setup; it'll smoke your shit. *cue the video of the black guy who says his mustang has pistons and rotors* EDIT: shwing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlDLybhuOH0 *i wish i had his...

i would have photomatix brighten up the trees and rest of the green in that last HDR, but I had a big black spot (zero exposure) from the shadow of one tree that looked funky. I don't know shit about photoshop, still trying to figure it all out. There's a bright hazing that appears around...

take motrin (ibuprofen). 3 pills every every six hours or four pills every 8 hours. works way better than tylenol, and you can take it while taking tylenol

I thought that airborne was just a vitamin :shrug: on beer, i never had to get drunk. i start feeling better after only 2-3 beers. When I say that my alky is for 'medicinal purposes', i'm perfectly serious. Jack Daniels is a good remedy too (but DON'T drink it cold, drink it hot). I'd leave a...
