[update, Thu 10:23am: moved above lunar-eclipse so it doesn’t get lost]
Wow. I have a whole new respect for Eminem. Have a look at his new video, Mosh. (via burntglass)

Use your page-down key to watch the eclipse! Pictures were taken on a two-minute interval.



















After the total lunar eclipse, I adjusted the shutter speed and exposure time, came up with what I think are a few nifty shots. Click for a big version:

Wow.. anyone know what makes the moon so orange? Was talking to my Dad last night, and he tells me an astronomer he spoke with says it’s pollution, which I countered with okay, how come it’s not orange all the time then? I’m thinking it’s probably mostly because there’s some bleed from the sun in the shadow (light bending around an object), but that’s really just a shot in the dark (ack… didn’t mean to pun there).
And here’s my favorite, with the oak tree off to the side; a little over-exposed, oh well 🙂 (again, click for a bigger version):

Jellyfish at Mote
Had a great weekend — spent Saturday wandering around town looking for a costume for a little Hallowe’en party known as Boofest 2004. It was great. Ron and company over at Boo Bros once again did a deadly job. Cam has his pictures up already, go have a look! I will have mine up soon, probably later tomorrow (Monday) evening.
Speaking of pictures, it would appear that part two of my San Diego photos have disappeared into the ether! I took them during my guided tour of San Diego too, so that’s a little disappointing. 🙁 But who knows, maybe they’ll turn up somewhere. Instead, I offer you my pictures from last weekend’s trip to Mote 🙂
Today the apartment complex made everyone a free breakfast — omelets, fruit, coffee and pastries — a tasty way to wake up!

Melissa shows off her plate of olives… there’s an omelet in there too somewhere
And I spent the rest of the day with Cam, Melissa, Darren, Patricia and Ines at Venice Beach looking for shark teeth. And boy did we find them 🙂 We pooled our findings together and by the end of the day we must have found 25 teeth! Think I might be a little sunburnt though 😀

Trying desperately not to squint
