OK, that is what I figured. The glass should be better, probably "better" bokeh but maybe not worth the price or the weight on a DX (since the cheap 1.8 is available there).

I am tempted to buy a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 but already have the Nikon 35mm f/1.8. This would be used on D90 or D7100 (if I upgrade). Do you think this would be an unwise investment?

Bye bye.

Happy Birthday Fitz!

I probably won't be going back for a while (at least a year).

Convinced hubby to watch the last 2 episodes of Season 4 of Breaking Bad with me tonight! Loved it.

Maybe you've lived in TX too long Steve. Just kidding. The "cows" at the show were simply stunning, very beautiful creatures.

Went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (actually we didn't go to the actual rodeo part, just the livestock show). It was too crowded. What we were thinking, going on a weekend?

^This!

^Want!

Tonight I had some flatbread with goat cheese, fresh tomatoes and carmelized onions (and I think garlic), and topped with a fried egg (over medium?) and a bunch of fresh arugula. I would have never thought of putting the arugula and egg on a pizza but it was fantastic! It could've only been better with bacon (and a second fried egg) and maybe some avocado.

Happy Birthday Bonnie!

I am loving Breaking Bad but I have to twist hubby's arm to get him to watch it. He doesn't like it because (1) the separation/divorce stuff brings back bad memories (2) he dislikes all the characters except the son (there are no "good guys"). We have 2 episodes left of Season 4 to watch. Hopefully I canget him to watch them this weekend.

Ric is right.

This showing is getting more addictive by the season. It's going to suck when I finish all of them.

Finished The Wire, Season 3

Nice bike Justin!

Probably going to get the S4 (if it comes to Sprint). I desperately need a new phone but the GN2 is too large for the pockets in my shorts.

Hmm, I think I may need to order some of that Olive and Well 18yr.

Congrat to Al (and Mikey) on the weight loss. Also, that is great news about the blood pressure. Keep on exercising! It will make you healthier and happier (until you injure yourself and can't do much and become frustrated).

Everyone seems to love Balsamic Vinegar but nobody seems to know anything about it. Where is Jacob when you need him?

Today I decided to buy a slightly better Balsamic Vinegar than my usual: Leonardi "gold seal" It is fantastic. I know this isn't the super great fancy expensive stuff but it is still good. My read into balsamic is that the very expensive stuff is very sweet and only to be used for desserts. This seems to be pretty thick and sweetish with enough bite that it can still be used for salads with good olive oil. What is your favorite balsamic and what you use it for? I am now very curious about buying some "tradizionale" balsamic vinegar but don't know where to start. I guess I should find a place that has tastings.

^Interested in this myself

What program for bootable backups on Mac? Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner or other? Can you use the same harddrive as the time machine backups (I think you can on superduper)?

Happy Birthday Nate!!!
