Happy Anniversary
Today is the 10 year anniversary of this epic press conference.
Which led to my favorite mash up of all time by DJ Porter.
LARD in Black
Today LARD had a video analysis recording session.
Phil handled the video recording and I snapped a few shots from Mike’s chase boat. Jeremy built a custom rig for his Go Pro camera he was going to test out but arrived to practice late.
Thanks so much, Mike, for your help. Your time was much appreciated!
At this point, the CCWC hopefuls had paddled almost 3 miles. We wanted to make sure they were good and tired before we turned on the video camera.
At this point, most of them were pretty tired. Not bad – but not perfect.
UCLA Baseball Beats Stanford
After dragon boat practice today, I shot the UCLA/Stanford baseball game. UCLA won 7-4. This is my favorite shot of the day.
UCLA’s Cody Keefer is cut down at the plate.
Here is the link to an album from the game.

Pasadena Games
Last weekend I shot a two day event for Cal Poly Pomona at the Pasadena Games held at Pasadena City College.
Here are a few shots from the weekend.
This is a shot of a 300 meter sprint. The participants were invited so I’m assuming that they’re pretty good. I particularly like this shot because all of the runners are actually airborne.
This shot of Cal Poly Pomona junior Andrew Durham made the Cal Poly Pomona website the following day.
I love the socks and shoes!
Group Effort
Why Apple is Awesome
I bought a 1TB Time Capsule in early 2009 (it was version 2 of the Time Capsule). For those of you that don’t know what a Time Capsule is, it’s a hard drive connected to a router. It’s been fairly bullet proof until today. We got back from Disneyland today and couldn’t connect to the internet.
After dealing with the disaster that is Charter Cable customer service/tech support, we isolated the problem – it was the Time Capsule’s router. I quickly got on the phone with Apple. A dude with a euro accent helped me. For some reason, that accent puts me at ease more than the accents I usually hear when calling customer support (see Charter after hours and Dell).
We went through a few tests and he told me that I had to take the unit into an Apple Store. He made an appointment this evening at the Glendale Apple Store for me so I had dinner then headed down to the Apple Store.
I was early and expected to wait until my appointment time but was pleasantly surprised when a Genius came to me about 20 minutes before my scheduled time. I explained my problem and in a few minutes, the Genius exchanged my 3 year old 1 TB Time Capsule (version 2) for a brand new 2 TB Time Capsule (version 4).
This is why I buy Apple. And this is why I will continue to buy Apple.
