Headed down to the University with Meghan for her appointment, then down to her old job to pick up some stuff before she wasn’t feeling well, then back home. I feel I accomplished a good deal before 1pm. I also feel I am in no where near in shape compared to last summer, but 10 [...]
Minneapolis to Minnetonka
Meghan and I decided to take a bike ride today down to a new lake, Lake Minnetonka, from Minneapolis. We thought it would be around 40 miles round trip, but it looks like it may have only been 30+ because of where we ended up at the lake. Either way it was a good ride. [...]

The Triple Rock hosted a great show with opening bands Kevin Seconds, Kepi, and Apocalypse Meow!. For large photo sets I am using a new blog I set up, so click either of the photos to check out the whole set.
Use PHP to Display EXIF Data from Flickr
Speacial Note: If you want this in a format you can copy/paste click here. I recently added EXIF data to my photo pages in my portfolio with information like Camera used and the ISO setting. I decided it would be good to share this with the PHP community in case anyone was curious or is [...]
Minneapolis Bikes Rock Kickoff Party
The show was at the 501 Club and included NO AGE, Knife World and Gay Witch Abortion. Music was better than I thought it was going to be, but missed out on the headliner because it was past midnight and I was tired, it was cold, and I had to bike home. I did grab [...]

I finally got around to transferring the photos from my laptop over to my desktop to go through and make some better edits. I have uploaded some more to the Wisconsin photo set on flickr. Here are a couple of them. I will continue to update this when I get more photos uploaded. I might [...]
On The Highway
I am sitting by the highway watching cars pass while Meghan is getting her teeth cleaned. Pretty nice day, the clouds are out but the weather is still warm.
New 85mm f1.4 Lens for my Pentax
I decided to cave and purchase an 85mm f1.4 lens for my K20D and. It isn’t a high end one by either Zeiss or Pentax itself, but instead a cheap production one under the brand Opteka. The lens also sells under some other brands (Vivitar and Rokinon). I figured I didn’t need it to be [...]
Pentax/Canon Dilemma
As some of you readers know, my primary focus is photography and of course bicycles. I recently have been frustrated at the lack of lenses available for Pentax of the higher quality variety. Another annoyance has been the shutter speed and frames per second that my camera can shoot (I currently own the Pentax K20D). [...]
