We draft tonight. Really happy that NFL and College football are finally back. For all our new team, check out the draft kit on ESPN for some useful information on your draft including bye weeks for each player to ensure you do not draft 3 RBs with the same bye week with your first three picks. There is a chat built into the draft board that we can use or we can take over the chat here as Deepak recommended for live draft trash talk, etc.

Yeah everyone should have that lens in their bag. Then he would probably need two or three really nice tripods to support it. One for portraits and one for sporting events (monopod maybe) and one for hiking (carbon fiber). I use Gitzo.

Now you need to convince him to buy some nice glass as the 5D mkII will quickly show the flaws in lesser lenses. Surely he would like 5-6 pieces of L Glass.

I like new toys better than old toys.

I am selling the 35L as I like the lens but it is not one that I see myself using enough to keep. I was hoping to sell it and get more lenses instead of a body as I am waiting for the 5D mkIII before I upgrade my bodies at this point. I am intrigued by the 7D plus cash offer as it could replace the 50D as my crop camera.

Any of you guys have any experience with the Canon 7D. I have someone offering one in trade but I have not had any experience with the model. Anyone with any experience using this one?

Steve, glad to see you have a new family member.

Yeah CJ did well for me last year. I have to figure that draft pick trade out myself. I would assume it is as you describe.

Yeah, last year I held the vote after the draft so it was a bit easier. I am going to make you work for your points this year. I still need to look into how the draft pick trades work as that could be interesting if people try it.

Some more boring flower photos. Hopefully I will make it to the Polish festival down the street and get some street shots.

Great, we are doing it at 8:30 so just log into the site a bit before 8:30 to start up the draft program and we should be good to go.

Okay new poll up. We need to choose our bonus points thresholds so go vote for your favorite and I will add the top three vote getters.

That's right. I just signed up for an expo pass so I can check out the gear myself.

I am liking the image quality on Hulu Plus better than Netflix on the iPhone. I used 3G for both as the 4g speeds on my piece of crap Sprint Overdrive is still far slower than the iPhone's 3G.

I was really hoping there would be updates to the big cameras as I have been contemplating replacing the 5D and 1Ds with some new toys. Not all that interested in the lens updates either.

The vote seems to be screwed up so does anyone have any issues with Tuesday night at 8:30 EST?

My fairly new linksys had definite range problems before it got killed by our power issues but my new Airport Extreme has amazing range. I typically can still see the thing quite a ways from my house.

You should. Now you can watch Fall Guy and 21 Jump Street anywhere you go.

Is anyone using the Hulu+ app? I am kind of disappointed that I have to pay 9.99 a month and still have to watch a million Avatar commercials. Image quality is great.

Dinny I like the Belkin case quite a bit but I am no longer using it since getting the Defender case, If you would like to try it out let me know.

Try refreshing. That happens sometimes.

Okay, new poll up on the page for choosing draft night.

Happy Birthday Matt

Yeah ESPN had an app for a short time but they pulled it because of some Verizon agreement. We are officially a 12 team league this year, 4 more teams than last year. We have most of the votes for the week after the third preseason game for our Draft so now we need to decide a day/time. Shout out your choices here and I will put up another poll to make this official.

Yes there is. Send me your e-mail and I will send you an invite and we will lock the league down for our draft in the next couple of weeks.
