I've noticed that it does that sometimes, all I can say is that it usually clears up after a few minutes.

Cool! You have no idea how many times in my life I've come dangerously close to building a home brew fridge with a tap on the side like you did.

It is so easy to do. Just take measurements and you can get the wood cut for you at Home Depot. Then all you need is a drill.

Yeah I find no matter how hard I try with a picture I always want to go back and have a redo down the road. I guess because you learn so much more every time you go out.

Very cool Andy, I too get excercise with a wheelbarrow but it's packing gravel to the trails we're building in the back of the property not primarily for excercise but I've sure noticed the effects of doing this for a few weeks now. The newscaster at the beginning talks like he just got his wisdom teeth removed or something. And what's that sound at the beginning when your describing the ab rollers you made, it sounds like a rattlesnake just off camera. :)

Yeah, you can't really see too much of it from the video, but I got the wheelbarrow to build a sandstone patio and path, though it looks like it is a little smaller scale then then one you are building. Loading it up with weight and running a few sprints with it will get you tired out pretty quick though.

Thank you! This whole area I live in is pretty much entirely rain forest and it's damned hard to photograph it properly. About the only one I'm happy with is this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23716568@N00/422160926/in/set-72157600625107774/[^] which makes excellent soothing wallpaper if you download the largest size and was entirely a fluke. I've experimented all summer trying to get a proper rain picture. The forest here is super mossy and deep dark green with rampant growth all over the place. It can look absolutely incredible to the naked eye and often does but I'm only just starting to learn how to photograph it properly. I'm actually looking forward to this fall and winter in the rainy season to try the stuff I've worked out this summer when it gets really gloomy and mysterious looking. This area is why the early X-Files had such an iconic look, those guys knew what they were doing.

Wow. That picture is amazing. I set it to my desktop background and now I can't see any of my icons. :laugh: Seriously though, it's really beautiful. Those are the kinds of pictures I love the best.. so peaceful, and subtle, and calm. You mention X-Files - in fact this sort of photo is precisely what I loved about X-Files in the early years.. the show itself had the same sense as these kinds of pictures do, and it simply stimulated the most interesting parts of my mind. The Outer Limits (new series) was pretty good at setting that sort of mood as well.

Well after viewing Vikram's post of their night out. I got to wondering what do the rest of these CPians look like. So I want to know if yall have any videos or pictures that you don't mind sharing with your CP family. Here is what I have to share with yall. YouTube.com[^] By day I am a computer nerd and by night(actually I never stop being this) I am the youth director, along with my wife, at our church. The video remix is of our youth trip last year. It is all pictures because someone(me) forgot to grab the video camera before we left. I am not in many of the pictures but you can catch me in a couple with a red shirt and black hat. Well will be interesting to see some of yall in videos or pictures.
God Bless, Jason
God doesn't believe in atheist but He still loves them and INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX too.Since we are sharing, I recently updated my profile photo to be a pic of my wife and I from a charity ball earlier this year for Camp Quality. Open my profile to check her out... ;-)

Thank you. Yeah the icons are a bit rough with that one. Those shows were both shot in and around Vancouver B.C. Canada, which is not far from here, a really good friend of mine worked for years on the X-Files. Also all the shots in the forest on Caprica in the new Battlestar Galactica were shot in the bush outside Vancouver. For anyone who lives here it's instantly recognizable. Particularly when there is some ocean and many solidly treed islands in the background which featured prominently in Battlestar Galactica many times. One of the reasons so much gets shot here is that this province, B.C. features every one of the climatic areas around the world so you can have desert, ocean, rainforest, taiga, steppes, chapparal, tundra, deciduous forests, grasslands, mountains, glaciers etc etc, you name it and it can be found somewhere here. When they moved the X-Files shooting to California for the last season it really ruined the show, the first episode I saw shot there had brilliant sunshine and it just didn't fit at all with the mood they had built up for so many years. It was super jarring. At a guess I'd say at least 10% of everything you watch on U.S. TV and movies these days is shot at least partially in this neck of the woods. I've been working on some techniques for a few months now to perfect my rainforest shots, I want to capture the gloomy misty mossiness of the forest with it's brilliant colours. I think I've hit on some good techniques, just waiting for the rainy season to start. One of the biggest problems here is that the trees are all well over 100 feet high and it took me a while to figure out how to deal with them as you can never get them entirely in a shot but there is a strong urge to do so since they are so impressive when you're standing there.

:laugh: People tell me I look like Dustin Hoffman a lot. I've also been told I look like the angel of death from touched by an angel but I've never seen it so I'll have to take their word for it. Once an older receptionist in an office where I came in to do a service call told me I looked like Dustin Hoffman from the Graduate and winked at me. That cat is Spuzzy, she was the nicest, mellowest kitten then she started getting this habit of chewing on electrical wires, she wrecked my speaker wires countless times to the point I started putting hot chili oil on them which stopped her, but ever since the wire chewing phase she's been freaky hyper. What you are seeing there is her second of two states, the other is comatose. She can go from comatose to lightspeed in a heartbeat.

:) Yeah, we have two male cats and they have two modes, Full Throttle and Sleep. The last couple of weeks they learned how to open drawers, so they have spent some time in trouble for sure :) Our's also chewed on wiring when they were about a year old. Heard a speaker crackling and found the wire was chewed up over a six inch area. I think that is what helped toast our cheap ($300 about eight years ago) sound system. Glad they got over the desire of chewing wires..

Yeah our only male cat opens drawers in the bathroom, digs out my wife's stretchy hair band thing and tosses it all over the house chewing and attacking it. He has a hair fetish for some reason. He'll jump up on her lap while were watching tv, sneak up her shoulder and start chewing on her hair purring loudly. Cat's can be quite inventive and dextrous when they want to be.

Dang. I should have grabbed the camera when you were at the hotel. I can honestly say, though, that you haven't changed perceptably in 2 1/2 years. Still the young, dashing fellow in that picture.
