Salt Peanuts

I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Yeah, I can definitely see noise but the image is still perfectly usable as far as I'm concerned.

For shits and giggles, just took the pic below with 50D set at ISO 3200 using 35mm f/2. No N/R or other processing, just converting to JPEG using LR3B2.

Damn, I didn't realize that shot was taken at 3200 until Knuckles mentioned it. I think 1600 is the highest I've used thus far.

^ Well, I'll be damned.

So who's taking the plunge?

Afro-Cuban All Stars - Distinto, Diferente

Oh yes. My wife was laughing in the background when I was commenting to myself upon the moar power of the new drill.

Massive Attack - 100th Window

Stupid filter at work won't let me see it. Appearently, it considers Milspec Monkey to be a danger to children.

Louis Armstrong - Satchmo Plays King Oliver

I haven't kept up with with the world of metallurgy so I don't know any of the new and exciting alloys, but VG-10 has been my favorite ever since I bought one of the first Spyderco knives with it, which is my favorite folder to this day. Wife loves it on her Shun knives, too.

Our black cat who is perpetually dusty from going under furniture.

^ Color me jealous in regards to the cherry blossoms. I didn't really get to see any this year and they're mostly gone around here, even if I can find any cherry trees.

Have a great one!

Van Morrison - Moondance

That's a nice looking knife you got there, Reks. What is it?

This was yesterday, but I installed a new deadbolt on a door (it didn't have one before). The whole process took a while, though it was fun to finally use my new drill for some real work.

10,000 Maniacs - Campfire Songs

Just finished spraying the yard with bug repellent. The stuff is based on garlic extract and now I smell like garlic.

Bunch of tomato plants and herbs. We'll be planting them in a little while.

Damn, Nate, sorry to hear about Lily. I'm glad she's doing OK.
