A pic I came across on this guy's site of Eldorado Peak in the North Cascades - the classic "knife-edge" ridge up to the summit. I look forward to hopefully climbing this peak next month ... but quite a brilliant shot.

Check out his site for some very cool mountaineering info and pics.

I got an e-mail from Jesus today! And he's here to tell me all about the Canadian online prescription store and how I can get all my pharmacy needs there, no doubt.

Um, I'm not going to open it up. But I think the Mail.app on my Mac is now cursed and will be going straight to hell because it thought this divine message was junk!

From the Deleteme! group on Flickr - this photo is a complete riot.

One of the comments read -

"Don't you just hate it when you're taking pictures of fruit and someone who has just got out of the bath jumps up in front of the camera and smiles like an idiot?"

I just love TicketMaster - I went to buy tickets for next month's Melissa Etheridge concert at the Paramount theatre in Seattle. And let's see - after all the "convenience" charges the ticket ended up costing about 30% more!

Now why didn't I decide on the overnight delivery of my tickets, which would have cost something like an absurdly additional $30 or something ...

Doing my part by blogging the MoveOn.org website that features the short QuickTime video of Moby campaigning to save internet freedom and neutrality and to keep it from being "corporatized" - OK, that's my word.

If you haven't done so already, please sign the petition and call your senators and representative in Congress (the website provides the phone numbers).

My sister Kathy sent me a copy of "Sunbeams" - collected quotes featured monthly in The Sun. These were from December 2005 and all pertained to the environment. One I found fitting was from Ansel Adams, who said

It is horrifying that we have to fight our government to save the environment.

Indeed.

So I said last month I was going to track the monitor profiles of my 2-year old Apple Studio 17-inch display (acrylic) and the 20-inch Apple Cinema display (aluminum) I use at work. I just validated where my Studio display is at after more than a month since last calibrating it - I last calibrated on 4/9/06 and since then - a period of 40 days - it changed 0.88 delta-E (as evidence in the screen capture below).

OK - so I just recalibrated today, and I also calibrated my Cinema display at work today - so we're off and running. I will start from each calibration made today and in one month or so see where they're at.

My bid is on the older Studio display - it has held luminance and calibration extremely well over the year and a half that I have had it.

Oh, this is too rich to pass up - my dear brother (dork on right with glasses) at his confirmation, circa 1987.

And yes - I fully expect retaliation in kind.
