building things

Jess helped me work out a plan for syncing all 5 portable flashes in the "Myschievia Portrait Studio":http://revjim.net/2006/09/15/myschievia-portrait-studio/. All of the cabling will use household extension cords and electrical outlet splitters, an idea I stole from "Strobist":http://strobist.com/ ("Part 1″:http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/04/lighting-101-build-pro-synch-cord-pt-1.html, "Part 2″:http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/04/lighting-101-build-pro-pc-cord-pt-2.html, and "Splitters":http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/05/adding-and-synching-second-strobe.html). This really cuts down on costs and makes it dead simple to [...]

the long way

Yesterday, I fully intended to work from home. Unfortunately, my intentions do not always line up with reality.
I got up just after 5:00am, jumped in the shower, made some coffee and was "at work" by 5:45. I only had one meeting — a conference call — scheduled for the day. I can do conference calls [...]

Aside from what seemed to be obvious exceptions (though now I'm not so sure), I was unable [...]

I was at the eye doctor filling out the paper work when I ran across the part where they mention the two optional tests: one that blows air in your eyes, the other that dilates your eyes. I realized that I always check the "nah, never mind, I don't need it" box and I thought [...]

even with facial hair

I really should start writing these at night before I go to bed. By the time I get up, get dressed, get to work, start my morning, and put out any fires at the office, I've already forgotten half of what happened the day before.
What I remember of the first half of yesterday was mostly [...]

cryptic answers: answer set #2

Here is the second set of answers to the "Cryptic Answers":http://revjim.net/2006/09/13/meme-cryptic-answers/ meme.
* Choosing one from those three is like asking me to choose which of my three children I'd save if they were dangling from a cliff. The answer is easy. Choose the one least likely to take a stand against your authority. So, in [...]
