Canon 50mm F1.4 for real

I finally broke down and bought this lens. I've started tagging my pictures so you can see some of the new ones taken with this cool prime lens. I likes it.

We traced the call

Rented a lens for my camera this weekend. I just posted 33 new photos using it. Pretty good for low light situations (which I find myself in a lot).

Pretty seriously considering getting it. I really want to try out the 35mm lens that is the same aperature, but it's 1,200 to buy, so I'm not sure that I want to get attached to it.

blog'n blog

Not sure what this blog should be about anymore. It started as a place to record some ideas about an "ideal" music distribution system. Seems like I've lost some focus. Not that I need to focus on music distribution. But what should I focus on?

Lately I've been into 2 things. Photography and Business. You can see the photography represented in the flickr links I keep posting. Perhaps I should figure out what our company's blogging policy is...

Does anybody still read this thing anyways?

Our cat radio is insane-crazy-nuts about catching that toy.

performancing

So far, not impressed with the workflow. Blogthis was a better extension, but for some reason it got all tinted fogged up sparkely and weird.

myspace

So yeah, I signed up for myspace.  I feel kind of dirty... and the dirt's not coming off.  I've resisted myspace for a long time, but I thought I should at least use it for a little while before I continue to complain.  Man that site is jammed full of adds.  I've added like four or five different high level domains to adblock and so far it hasn't been enough.  How annoying.  Anyway, if you have myspace you can like, try and make me a friend or something.

Microsoft closes Metafile hole with early patch

Microsoft closes Metafile hole with early patch: "With computer experts rating the security flaw as 'extremely critical,' there's little doubt MS had teams of software engineers working overtime to get this new hole closed."

Thanks for all the hard work that was put into this patch.

On kids

Dear parents,

I don't mind so much when your kids make noise in restaurants. It usually brings a little smile to my face because I know you're raising a family and hopefully, in some small way making the world a better place by trying to be good parents.

I do mind when you smack your five year old kid across the face and proceed to tell him "I hit you so you'll know who's in charge".

Sincerely,
Gary Owen

I've been really sick lately, and so I went to bed "early" last night. I guess Gwen stayed up to make this awesome animated gif.

Sony caught in another DRM snafu

Sony caught in another DRM snafu: "At this point, I don't know what I can say about the whole sorry mess that hasn't already been said, so I'll close with this: if Sony is trying to alienate its customers, expose itself to massive legal liability, and get the general public up in arms over DRM, it's doing a fine job. If the music label has some other goal in mind, it needs to change its tactics quickly."

Poor misguided Sony...
